    Madoka and Jam

    Thank you Michael and Nils for the fine sake bar advice. Last week I tried Jam. It was wonderful. Aiko treated us nicely and the price was right. this weekend we ventured out to Madoka. Very mellow mood at the counter. Some friendly people, too. I told the boss that we like light, fruity and slightly sweet sake. He showed us a few bottles that were pleasing. The oden with octapus was a unique treat. Very adult hideaway.

    I took a friend to Asakura and we sampled three different cold sakes. The friendly owner suggested some special tofu and we tried it. Wow, what an excellent combination of flavors. The bar was very softly lit and not smokey.

    We went over to Yorum’s place after that and…

    no space in the place. That write up in the NY Times and all the other hype have ruined the local intimacy. Yorum was not too sweet about giving us the heave ho either.

    Now to try your third recommendation, if I can only track it down. Gion is such confusing maze for me.
