The Chicago Sake Crawl: A neighborhood guide to the city’s most compelling pours

Sunda New Asian
Sake’s versatility lies in how it highlights rather than clashes with elements like sweetness, acidity, umami and spice. That dexterity is on full display at Sunda New Asian where pan-Asian influences from the Philippines, Vietnam, Japan and beyond give sake plenty to play with. Make Sunda an early stop for their happy hour special including $6 bar bites and $8 glasses of sake. 110 W. Illinois St., 312-644-0500, sundachicago.com
