Sake Secret

"Finally got to visit after a long time of wanting to check this place out. It did not disappoint. I especially loved the tatami room. I experienced a multiple course sake tasting with Greg, who’s extremely warm, welcoming and very knowledgeable when it comes to all the sake brands. I was a little bit worried about finding parking since it’s downtown Long Beach but there’s a public parking structure literally next next to it on 5th street with the first 2 hrs free. Will definitely be back."

"best sake store in LA and best sake bar in LA as well! absolutely make sure to say hi to the owner Greg and all the other people at the counter when you come in. this place is a fantastic intersection of quality, price, passion and community - can't recommend it enough if you're in the Long Beach area or if you just like sake in general. only thing I'd mention is that they're more of a liquor store than a bar so make sure you check the hours! definitely not a late night spot."

"New spot to add to my neighborhood rotation! First time here was for their Kintsugi night which was paired with a 6 flight sake tasting. ALL sake was amazing and the owners were wonderful to talk to. They were so informative when answering our questions we had about the various tastings we had. My partner ended up buy three bottles and 3 smaller ones. Hopefully we can save up for their Omakase night!"

"We tried the cool summer flight of sake and enjoyed all 4. The conversation with the owner was also great. He had lived in Japan and knew a lot about sake. The decor was simple but nice with a huge cat themed mural on the wall. We took a bottle home that was reasonably priced. We'll be back."

"What a gem of a place. It's rare these days to find a shop like this that is a bottle shop, drink on premise, and educational/fun. From everyone who may know nothing about sake to the expert sake connoisseur, this is a wonderful spot to experience great sake. Recommendations are spot on and Greg is a wealth of knowledge and generous with sharing the stories, history, and science of sake with everyone who comes in. Such a great addition to the neighborhood. Highly recommend to come check it out."
