you put a small piece of dried squid in your mouth and start to chew and chew and chew…give it a full 90 seconds. However, Brad taught me the waxon-waxoff secret of this dish. And on first blush, it tastes like chopped up frayed twine. it looks, quite literally, like a pile of chopped up frayed twine. Tonight, brad was brave enough to introduce me to something I’d never even heard of – shredded dried squid. My friend Brad has been to japan about 4 times and he knows some of the bar snacks to order that may not be as popular here. Since sake is not all to widely understood, I’m sure they get asked a lot of the same questions all the time, but they seem focused on making you feel comfortable and happy.
The waitstaff is also great – very helpful and friendly. Real sake bars in Japan (that I’ve seen on TV) have this exact same treatment. they pour the glass full and overflow into the masu box. They use a traditional laquer-esque black & red masu with a 5 oz clear glass set inside. As far as I know they are the only show in town that presents in this way. I love the presentation at Decibel so much. Effortlessly elegant and balanced with a strong finish. You could say this Sake had a style like your favorite brooks brothers button down shirt. As the waitress poured the Harushika, I asked her if she liked this sake. I started with a super-premium sake that was one of the most expensive per glass… the Harushika DaiGinjo (5 oz.).
