Keep Warm with a Selection of Great Sake

When we heard that Renjian Jiunuan had the largest sake selection of any bar in Shanghai, we had to make our way over and see it for ourselves. Located near Wukang Road, the bar’s atmosphere is simple and cozy. It shares a door with a noodle restaurant, so your late-night noodle fix is never more than few steps away. Upon entering, short, snappy phrases in Chinese characters speed across the wall (known in Chinese as “danmu,” these phrases are usually comments added to videos) to greet you. Further inside, sake bottles, each one different from the next, are neatly aligned in rows. If it’s your first time in the bar, the bartender can help you select the right type of sake to meet your tastes. Those new to sake should consider ordering the sampling set, which includes six small cups of sake, each produced in different area and with a distinct flavor. Or, if you’re a more seasoned sake drinker, you’re sure to find something to satisfy your palate. Whether you’re a fan of a peaceful evening drink on your own or going out with a few friends, the selections at this sake bar are sure to keep you coming back.
