The booze

The wait staff is knowledgeable about the sake menu and will help you choose one according to your tastes. They also offer a sampler, featuring three of the most popular sakes, including the most expensive. At $9, this is a good way to go.

The beer and wine lists are pretty standard, with Kirin Ichiban being an obvious highlight. For high rollers, they also offer a few expensive Champagnes. These seem out of place, though. A wider selection of sake would probably be more appreciated.
