Raleigh Sake Hotspot- Yard House Restaurant @ North Hills



    Next door to our other recent Raleigh Sake Hotspot, "Cowfish Burger", is the also extremely popular Yard House!  This place is POPULAR.

   Especially on the weekends, but did you know they also have a limited but fantastic Sake section in their beverages menu?  This place has more beers on tap than you could imagine but I would encourage you to try a bottle of "Yuki No Bosha" (Cabin In The Snow) Junmai Ginjo.

   This is one of my all time, top 5 favorite Sakes.  It's just perfect.  Perfect for a first timer or the experienced Sake drinker.

    A lot of Raleigh natives will be dining at Yard House at North Hills this weekend and this is a great Summer Sake, it's cold, sweet, smooth, and expensive.  I will preempt your sticker shock.  It's $30 for a 300ml bottle...  But Keep The Bottle!  It's less filling, has less calories than beer, and may just make you into a Sake fanatic, it's that good.

   They also offer a Nigori from Tozai (this is not for the beginner and I wouldn't recommend it).  They also offer a Daiginjo- Pure Dusk; it's way over hyped and way overpriced but decent.  Very pretty bottle.

  They have a nice cheap little Jumani called Beautiful Lilly; not bad at all!  You can also order "Sake Bomb", they give you a decent size glass of Beautiful Lilly and a nice little glass of Sapporo!  Don't mix as intended, rather enjoy both individually for $7!  It's a steal.   But really, buy the Cabin In The Snow, it's as good as it gets.

  And as always, Thanks to Yard House for offering great True Sakes, their food is also fantastic.

  Quick Summer Sake Hotspot Weekend Recommendation post for Raleigh readers, but to all:  Cabin In The Snow is an EXCELLENT Sake.
