Sake To Me: Robokyo Japanese Steak House

I love to take long drives through freshly fallen snow. It always calms me. On one of our snowy drives we ended up in Greensburg, Pa and decided to stop for a bite to eat. We stumbled across Robokyo, a Japanese steak house. Since I'm always in the mood for sushi, it seemed the obvious choice!

I've been to many Japanese sushi bars and steak houses. Some restaurants focus on the hibachi section while others go all out in the sushi department. We didn't venture into the hibachi area so I can't comment on the quality of the hibachi food, but we did order the sushi platter for 2 with additional side rolls from the specialty menu. The platter was fine but the specialty rolls were even better. The bartender informed us that a few of their holiday specialty rolls were so popular they were adding them to their full menu. Everything was good, yet a lot of sushi bars are good. BUT, there is a big reason I would put Robokyo on my to do list......the sake! Oh. My. Yummy! We started with the Zipang Sparkling Sake. Think sake and champagne have a baby. (a bubbly, bouncing, beautiful baby!) It has a fresh tropical taste with a light finish. Very nice bubbles, not to strong. It pairs nicely with sushi and does not overpower. We finished with the Moonstone Asian Pear Sake. A smooth sake with a light pear flavor. It rounded out the meal nicely. According to their FaceBook page they always have unique and interesting flavors. Most of them are for a limited time. They even had a coconut sake over the summer. I would love to try that! I'm not really big on sake, but these sakes give a happy ending to any sushi meal! http://www.robokyo.com/
Specialty Roll

PROS: Unique flavored sake.
CONS: The sushi bar is a bit small because the restaurant focuses on the hibachi area. If you have a large group, things could get crowded.
