Qingjiu Description

With so many sake-slinging options, it can be hard to choose. But Qingjiu is a fine choice for several reasons. Even when it’s full, it’s quiet – the cozy dining room is divided into small sections. Qingjiu’s menu runs the gamut of Japanese classics – all authentic, but not overly expensive. We try hunks of glistening sashimi and a trio of hors d’oeuvres before diving into Japanese hot pot. We dunk bits of fish, mushrooms and vegetables into one of the best renditions of sukiyaki broth we’ve had all year. To drink, Qingjiu offers a variety of sakes – though largely on the pricey side.
