There's no "right" way to enjoy sake - just the one that tastes right to you.

Whether you prefer something fruity, dry, bold, or served warm, every sake on our menu is brewed right here at moto-i. Swipe to see our sake selection at a glance.

Not sure where to start? We'd recommend a sake flight so you can compare a few styles side by side.

The State Fair is coming to town, and weโ€™re bringing a little bit of the fair to the bar. ๐ŸŽก๐Ÿน

Starting today, come try three State Fair-inspired cocktails:
๐Ÿฉ Mini Donut Old Fashioned
๐Ÿˆ Melonade
๐ŸŒฝ Corn-Colada

Swipe to read more about each one. ๐Ÿ‘‰

Three very different ways to celebrate Minnesotaโ€™s favorite annual excuse to eat and drink your way around the fairgrounds.

No fair admission required. Just bring yourself. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Available from August 27-September 7 at moto-i.



๐Ÿฉ Mini Donut Old Fashioned: Our Japanese donuts in cocktail form! Suntory Toki whisky, house brewed Junmai, and Chinese Five Spice bitters for that famous spiced kick. Complete with a miniature version of our donuts, feel free to add as much caramel as youโ€™d like!

๐Ÿˆ Melonade: Fresh watermelon juice with floral hibiscus, agave and tangy lime juice create a refreshing summer cooler. Served zero proof or can be spiked with sake on request!

๐ŸŒฝ Corn-Colada: Itโ€™s corn! A playful take on arguably one of the most iconic state fair foods. The smoky elote mezcal is balanced with bright lime and a colada mix of sweet corn, pineapple juice and coconut cream to create an unforgettable tropical fair cocktail.
