What People Are Saying About True Sake
The Editor

Citysearch
With over 180 varieties of imported sake, a highly knowledgeable staff and an unpretentious atmosphere, this Hayes Valley emporium for Japanese rice wine holds nearly endless appeal for both seasoned fans of the beverage and curious newcomers. Said to be the first all-sake retail outlet in the United States, the small space showcases artfully labeled bottles on shelves and in one large, illuminated display case. Descriptive cards accompanying most selections aid customers with their purchasing decisions.

True Sake is not your standard liquor store. Everything is very well arranged, the whole place, as well as the bottles, is aesthetically pleasing. The staff is helpful in recommending what to get. The prices here vary dramatically. One can find something for a hundred bucks and something for ten bucks. The store is well-located.
