Beau Rivage Chenin Blanc 2018
William’s decisions in the cellar are inevitably influenced by the Cote de Beaune and Loire Valley and beyond. The wine is fermented in used barrels and demi-muid and matures on its lees. Chenin remains Clarksburg’s signature variety, retaining succulent acidity thanks to the cool breezes which flow in across the Sacramento Delta every evening.

100% Chenin Blanc
Sourced from mineral-rich alluvial, clay and silt soils
Fermented in used barrel and demi-muids
12.1% alcohol

I have no idea how I’d missed this spot before. The food is amazing, every single dish we got we loved. They have a ton of vegetarian and vegan options which is always appreciated. They have over 60 Japanese beer options. The place isn’t huge so if you have a bigger party would definitely recommend reserving before hand. Everyone was so kind and answered all the questions we had about the menu. And the place is just vibes, perfect for a weekend dinner. Especially grateful to David who helped us out all night and gave great recommendations. My partner got the brown butter ramen and I got the spicy veggie ramen. We also shared some skewers (tomato and shrimp were a favorite) and some mochi for dessert. Servings were great, we were so full by the end but so, so satisfied.

Kiyo was amazing! The food was incredible, perfect seasoning to complement the taste of the meat without overpowering it. Every dish we had was perfection. I’ve never had a bad experience at Izakaya Juraku. We weren’t sure what sake to get and Kiyo’s suggestion was exactly what we wanted. I need to make the trip in from NJ more often… 10 stars??

Go for their drinks! Fine selection of Japanese craft beer and really tasty and fun cocktails. We were in Tokyo a few months ago and I really missed it, so we wanted to find an izakaya to help fill that void. This definitely hit the spot. Server was also super attentive, nice and helped make recommendations. Prices were extremely fair. For the amount of drinks (we got three drinks each, don’t judge cause we couldn’t make up our minds) and food we got, I expected to spend more. I can’t wait to go back!

This is one of the best izakaya in the city (and I have been to almost all of them). Compact menu, but 100% execution. The chef has a magic touch in sauce making. Service was to the point. Love it! Will take all my out of town friends here from now on.
