Sake LatteThis winter, Sushi-san invites you to warm up during Happy Hour with a cozy glass of our Sake Latte. What better way to welcome the brisk days and snowy nights than with a soothing cup of hot sake? We take this familiar favorite and blend it with a touch of Hexe coffee, creamy oat milk, and tawny port for a boozy, deeply comforting latte. Flavoring and mixing sake is a centuries-old tradition. Historically, spiced or herb-infused sake is enjoyed on New Year's Day to promote health, longevity, and good fortune—one of the oldest and most culturally significant expressions of flavored sake.
