Takare Sake may be one of Berkeley's best kept secrets. On any day of the week, you and your friends can enter their facility, walk up a few stairs, and enter a world dedicated to that sensational Japanese libation -- sake. Not only do you get a full education on sake-making (provided through a video and a small museam), you also get an extensive tasting of sakes ranging from very dry to very sweet, so that you can identify your sake preferences. And the best part is, you get all this FOR FREE. I urge you to take advantage of this fantastic East Bay treasure.
