Back in September, I attended a meeting of the CB3 SLA Committee, where the application for a liquor license by Jin was rejected on the grounds that there are too many liquor-selling establishments around there. (Casani's is on the corner of Ludlow and Broome, a few doors down.) As many of you know, I think this is ridiculous. If we are to have nice restaurants, they must be allowed to sell liquor -- at least beer and wine.
So, I recently had a chance to eat at Jin. First of all, it impresses as a serenely decorated place. They play music, but quietly. There is a bar with a TV in the back. Some folks were watching a football game with the sound off. Alas, they were drinking soft drinks.
I thought the food was quite good. I tasted several types of sushi and the salmon teriyaki. The service was a little ragged -- not unusual for a new restaurant.
Happy news: The State Liquor Authority ignored silly CB3 and granted Jin a liquor license. Saki will appear toward the end of this year or early next.
