Interesting Sake experience

I don't often eat Japanese food because the menu is mostly in Chinese and Japanese.

Here they have an English menu but the specials on the board are in Chinese.

Anyway, we started off with hot sake and it was the most unique sake experience I have ever tried because they put dried fish wings in it to bring out flavour.

Here was what we had and we ordered quite a lot from the daily specials.

Started off with jerky, there was stingray fish fin jerky, puffer fish jerky and fish jerky.

My favourite was the stingray fish jerky which was crisp and chewy.
