Where to get Sake in Dublin ?

[zag]

Does anyone know where you can get Sake (Japanese wine) in Dublin ? I tried a few of the wine places but they don't do it.

I tried the Asian markets, and while one place had it - it was in a 1.5l bottle and given that it is normally consumed in small amounts it would take a long time to get through it. Also, since I doubt these guys have an off-license (they didn't sell any other alcohol that I could see) it might be cooking-grade stuff which could be a bit harsh.

Any ideas appreciated.

It's normal for sake to come in large bottles as far as I know.

That Japanese sushi restaurant Aya might have it, they had some stuff for sale at the till. They're up one of those street near the international bar.

Nothing on their website but the Celtic Whiskey Shop on Dawson Street may be of help...

Edit: I notice that Oddbins have it on their site

Superquinn used to do this - you might have to ask for Rice Wine. However, a search on [broken link removed] did not find any.

You could ask at the UKIYO Bar on Exchequer Street. They might do a take out service. Phone 6334071.

If you learn your brands
www.sake-world.com
it will make it a lot easier. Unfiltered gets my vote <hiccup>

Oddbins in England stock it, but not in Ireland.

O'Brien's, Tesco and Superquinn (Blackrock) also do not have it.

They may have back in 2005 when this thread was active!!!

Thanks for the updates. I have got it a few times in the asian shop behind/beside the Georges Street Arcade. Hasn't done me any harm so far, at least not that I've noticed.

Theres a store on Fade Street , Dublin off Grafton Street which sells everything thats Japanese . It might be a good idea to look there.
