Juban, the Chelsea neighborhood favorite Izakaya, is launching a happy hour to give diners a discount on its extensive sake list. Starting this week, bottles of sake will be half off until 6pm. Juban’s sake menu is varied enough for connoisseurs to find their favorites, but also color coded for novices to figure out the best sake to fit their preferences. There are nigori bottles with their typical cloudy appearance, Yamahai following ancient brewing methods for deep and rich character from natural yeast integration, Nama that are unpasteurized making them fresh and bright, Genshu which are undiluted and earthy… Art aficionados hoping to gallery hop can pop in for some sake and an early dinner, or even a pre-theater dinner for those heading to Broadway. (Some even say sake’s low congener and sulfite content and lower acidity than wine makes it less likely to cause a hangover.).

The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.
