Where To Drink When It’s Rainy In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Ototo is a new Japanese restaurant/bar in Echo Park and easily the best place in the city to drink sake. It’s from the same people as Tsubaki next door, but Ototo is more laid-back–the kind of place where you can post up with friends, work your way through an encyclopedic sake menu, and order tremendous bar snacks along the way (the chicken katsu sando and fried oysters are both musts). All the sake options at Ototo might feel a bit overwhelming, but don’t worry, the waitstaff will happily answer any and all questions you have." - nikko duren
