During the past couple of months, Don Tahara has given out nearly 100 bottles of free sake to celebrate Shohei Ohtani’s late-season heroics for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
At Little Tokyo’s Far Bar, a gastropub Tahara opened 18 years ago, every patron receives a shot on the house each time Ohtani hits a homer. The “Shohei sake shot” special hasn’t been a cheap expenditure, but Tahara said it’s money well-spent for a lifelong Dodgers fan.
