Kru’s sake game
Otokoyama Man’s Mountain, Kru Contemporary Japanese Cuisine

The new Kru is a visual stunner in every way, but one exciting, still-to-come development is its sake bottle shop. Even still, the sake menu in the dining room is top-notch, divided by flavor profile so you can quickly decide whether you want something bright or bold. For a clean, dry and extra smooth sake with subtle earthy, sweet and fruity notes, try the Otokoyama Man’s Mountain ($26 for medium pour), a tokubetsu junmai from Hokkaido. Served chilled in Japanese ceramics, this sake pairs beautifully with Kru’s sashimi, sushi and grilled fish. 3135 Folsom Boulevard, http://krurestaurant.com.
