Hot Sake Babe Watch

Sake or no sake, Tiffany Dawn Soto is so sekushii, that every time we take a sip in her presence, all we can think of is: 彼女はイケテル (prounounced: kanojowa iketeru*) — and let’s face it who doesn’t!

So what if we still can’t tell a Junmai Daiginjo from a Django Reinhardt? It’s been a pleasure to have her take us by the taste buds and give us lessons in this most inscrutable of beverages over the past year.

And just as we were learning that a Ginjo ain’t no Honjozo…we hear she’s no longer at Sushi Samba to teach us these things.

All we can say to SS’s management is: Futsuu-shu** ….And to Tiffany, we’ll follow you anywhere.

* Translation: She’s one sakelicious senorita.

** Translation: Go soak your collective, cachaca-soaked heads in a bucket of mediocrity.***

*** Translation: She was about the only reason to go to Sushi Samba.

Alicia Shoots! And Pours!

Photos by Sheri Ann Forbes

It’s not because Alicia is so damn cute…

Or because she always remembers our name…

Or because these natural-light photos (courtesy of super-lawyer and uber-photographer Sheri Ann Forbes) are so phantastic….

Or because all the drinks at the Downtown Cocktail Room are hand-crafted wonders…

Or because you can walk there from our office….

That we decided to run these actions snaps of our favorite cocktail being made.

No, it’s because the Downtown Dill is a libation on a different level — a smooth, sharp and fresh take on the Bloody Mary that will take your breath away — that we posted these pics.

And because we’re thirsty.
