9 Best SF Restaurants for Sake and Seafood Pairings | Eater

"Izakaya Sozai is a true neighborhood staple, combining all the comforts of a local diner with an always-interesting roster of Japanese small plates. From rotating sashimi specials like salmon carpaccio with mango salsa and wasabi-marinated raw octopus to regular favorites like sake-steamed clams and grilled squid, there is never really a misstep to be made. This is an institution that takes its sake seriously, with a rigorous list from herbaceous junmais — like Man’s Mountain from Otokoyama Tokubetsu — to silky junmai daiginjos and flavored varietals. They even have an entire segment of the menu cheekily named “After Sake.”" - Vox Creative
