Costs a fortune but it was such a good restaurant and shop. A good way to still my Japanese obsession.I'll be trying the Yukidoke Ginjou (off topic: I really dislike the calligraphy on the bottle) tomorrow if I have time to stop by the shop! thanks a lot!

Had no idea you guys were so into sake, too! We love the selection you get in NYC these days, in restaurants, specialty shops and even department stores. Yamahai sake is one of my favorites but I haven't found it yet in Amsterdam.@Ype-Harm - site is great! I wish I could be an "officially licensed Master Sake Sommelier and Sake Instructor at the Sake Service Institute in Tokyo".@Joris - I saw the Taste of Okura, was thinking about signing up for a sushi workshop but haven't yet. They also have a sake tasting, but there is no date for it yet. I will definitely sign up for that one! Nice! Had no idea you guys were so into sake, too!

For the widest Sake selection though I would suggest the Okura. Yamazato has recently added a expanded sake menu. There is even a "Taste of Okura" workshop that includes Sake pairing.http://www.okura.nl/nl/nieuws/nieuws/1190-nieuw-project-taste-of-okura.html This is their Sake menu: http://www.yamazato.nl/images/stories/sakekaart.pdf Meidi Ya and Kaiko are indeed great.

I got hooked since we moved to Japan, before that I merely had Gekkeikan which is (you put it very diplomatically) indeed very average and gives you a headache. It has loads of sugar added to get the alcohol percentage up to the desired levels.http://www.japannavigator.com/ is a great source on sake (and food and other great things about Japan). It's written by a Dutchman -Ad Blankestijn- a former diplomat who is very passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about sake.Hope to see you over here one day and taste a few local brands!
