wasabi – ME SO HUNGRY

Wasabi Restaurant â€“ Free Unlimited Hot Sake

I really can’t stop eating sushi and free hot sake. Todd and I went back out to Greenpoint to try another sushi/free sake place. We first went to Kyoto Sushi. They had a sign for free sake and Todd even called to confirm. But then I overheard that the table next to us were going to be charged for their second carafe. Turns out you only get one free. So we left. I think that couple were jealous that we left. For real, how do you think you can survive as a sushi restaurant in Greenpoint without free unlimited hot sake?

So we were about to go back to Sakura 6, but saw that Wasabi also had free sake. It turned out to be unlimited! They should really advertise it better online. It’s hard to find out which places are really free unlimited hot sake.

Wasabi didn’t have a sushi boat. So we got a Su-sa-ma Platter (for 2-3 people $49). It was a lot of food, but we somehow finished it.

They were very generous on refilling our hot sake. Even taking our half filled ones and filling it back up. Also generous on giving us wasabi when we asked for more. Looks like a broken off penis statue.

On the menu, there was a Bedford and Greenpoint roll. Although I’m not sure what makes it Bedford and Greenpoint. Oh, the Greenpoint has avocado.

Shonali invited me to come with her to see The Joy Formidable at Webster Hall. So I asked her if she wanted get free sake before. She suggested Sake Bar Decibel, NYC’s first sake bar. Turned out to be the opposite of free sake. It’s pretty pricey. Small bottles start at around $18. But I guess better quality than free sake.

I brought Sam along. We all ordered some small plates of food, two small $22 bottles of sake and a $9 glass from a $99 bottle. I was whoa, $99? But then I saw how huge the bottle was. Okay $99 is actually a good deal.

I made sure to get a Nigori, unfiltered milky/cloudy sake. I liked it. Sweet.

My favorite thing was the Wasabi Shumai. They packed a punch up my nose. Sam and Shonali thought it was too hot. That’s weird thinking that it’s hot/spicy. I feel like Wasabi, Horseradish, and Hot Mustard should have a different term for their type of spiciness. Because I don’t think it’s spicy. It just fucks up your nose.

They forgot to get give us our edamame. So we asked about it, but made sure to let them know we already ordered as the guy was writing it down like it was a new order. Dang it. I just noticed they charged us twice from looking at the photo of the bill. I was too drunk to notice. Cry to my mommy about the edamame.

Other than the Edamame mishap, it was a pretty cool bar. Fun drinking and wasn’t so super expensive, for Pete’s sake.
