Booked 1 time today

San Diego’s first sake-forward bar, owned and curated by certified sake sommelier Ayaka Ito.Ito has built every experience around three elements in harmony - sake, food, and glassware. Change the glass, and the same sake tastes different. Add the right dish, and something unexpected comes alive. Get all three right, and the result is something you can’t quite explain, but will never forget.The food side of that magic is shaped in collaboration with Marie Chiba, owner of EUREKA!, Tokyo’s legendary sake bar, and one of the few people in the world to hold the title of Sake Samurai, one of the highest honors in sake culture. Her influence on how we think about food and sake runs through every dish on our menu executed by Head Chef Ryan Miller.Sake Bar Gaga has shaped a menu where sake, food, and glassware are chosen with that magic in mind. We can't wait to welcome you for this unique experience!
