Chika & Sake is inspired by Chika Ohata, a sake sommelier from Iwate, Japan. At Chika & Sake we would like to share the joy of craft sake (Jizake 地酒) and home cooking style small Japanese plates (Koryori 小料理) with you. We offer a variety of different sake that takes your sake adventure to the next level; classic sake, new Japanese trends, and seasonal specials. Japanese sake is a reflection of its people, local weather, topography and food. Our team brings the experience of sake and koryori with a strong and fun personality to your table.

    Food was fair. The most flavorful thing was the cucumber salad. Most if the rest was kind of bland and unmemorable. Quality of the sashimi was good. In such a small and intimate setting one would expect some interaction with the chef, fun details about the food, anything, but there was none. The owner wasn’t there, maybe that would be different. The server that was there was a bit pushy when we didn’t order as quickly as she’d like, even though we were the only people there and they didn’t have any other reservation coming later for our seats. Cute place for a great sake selection and snacks, but with a $70 minimum per person you might think twice.

    Great little place, we've been a couple of times and they've now added an omakase option - a la carte is still available. Great sake selection with either a pairing for the omakase or tasters of different types. Very knowledgable sake 'sommelier' and great chef.

    Chika and Sake is a wonderful little sake bar. The staff was so wonderful and nice. The hostess at the bar was very knowledgeable about each saki she brought to you. She took her time and didn’t rush. The second hostess from France was also super nice and kept making sure our tea and water was taken care of. The beef tongue melts in your mouth and the scallop with a dollop of uni was amazing. Chika and Sake is a must go if your in Japan town but you might need a reservation as the place is really small and intimate.

    First time here. Restaurant is very small, 10 seats. Food is good, nothing outstanding! Portions are small for what you pay for. Emphasis is on buying sake, versus the food. Probably will not return.

    Amazing place! Cute and charming, food is authentically Japanese. Sake selection is fabulous. It feels like you are transported to japan. Great for drinks and small bites.
