New Sake Flight Specials at RA Sushi

If you haven’t heard of International Sake Day, or “Nihonshu no Hi” you may want to go call your closest friends, prepare for a full cultural submersion, and grab a table at RA Sushi this October. 

Throughout the entire month of October, RA Sushi will be celebrating this international exceptional drink with limited-time $9 Sake Flight Specials to consume and enjoy with mouth-watering specialties. 

Not quite brushed up on your traditional Japanese drinks? Sake is a rice wine that is specifically paired to complementary dishes. The sakes at RA have been attributed their own numeric value to determine how sweet or how dry the drink will be once propelled upon your palette. RA’s drink menus display these numbers to best assist any novice sake drinker in their selection process. Low numbers designate a sweeter, heavier sake while high positive numbers indicate a dry drink to go down.

Saaaaake Bomb! On the Sake Flight menu arrives the Tozai “Living Jewel” Junmai (+6). White grapes, anise and a hint of sweet rice flavor give this drink a clean, dry finish with a complex blending of flavors. For a smoother, creamy finish, try the Hakutsuru Sayuri “Little Lily” Junmai Nigori (-11), which stimulates hints of coconut and melon to make a coarsely filtered sake. If you love your glass of champagne over dinner, try the Kizakura “Pure” STARS (-18), a close match to the bubbly tastes of champagne. A sweet, crisp and effervescent party in your mouth, the drink is a great celebratory treat and pairs perfectly with spicy sushi rolls.
