"Out in the world, how can you not drink?!" This sign and slogan, personally illustrated by Zhang Fei, the founder of Xiao Mai, invites travelers who step in to joyfully share drinks, savor delicious meals, and experience the refined flavors of sake. The true essence of life lies in enjoying exquisite cuisine and engaging in heartfelt conversations with like-minded individuals.
"Umami" is the fifth taste discovered by Japanese scientists, in addition to sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. It's a term used by the Japanese to describe food that's exceptionally delicious. Founder Zhang Fei hopes to showcase not only the umami of sake but also that of the dishes themselves, which is why he named the establishment "Zhi Huo Skewers." Coupled with Zhang Fei's favorite wheat beer, the name "Xiao Mai Zhi Huo Skewers" was born.
