Maedaya Sake & Grill

The verdict

Sake is all the rage in Melbourne these days and one of the best spots with the biggest collections is Maedaya Sake & Grill on Bridge road, Richmond. With a dizzying collection, have no fear, owner Toshi Maeda is all about spreading the sake knowledge/love and the guys will guide you through tastings with matched nibbles too, or head upstairs for the full menu. A pleasingly dark space with ropes stretched out in force on the walls, it's pretty styley too.
