Haha I’m not an expert at all, just a rather casual enjoyer. And as such I’ve sadly never had either bottle. Those are definitely very baller sake and not typically found at retail. You can at least Google the Jikon and get a few hits and I think I’ve seen it before on retail. But I can’t really find anything for the Kokuryu. Doesn’t seem like an Ishidaya or Nizaemon at least.

Free parking right in front of the restaurant.
They also validate parking for ROW garage structure parking (with Tesla supercharger). This structure is free for anyone within 2hrs.
*I’m highly interested in parking topics naturally lol

I went to the Row the other night to eat at Pizzeria Bianco and consider trying to find parking on the street. I’ve never done this before. When you enter the Row if you go straight past the parking lot instead of making a left it takes you on the street. But this street goes left right in front of Kato. Do you need to go past this building then make 2 rights to get to the street where Hayato and Bianco are?
You should park in the structure in this case, it’s free for 2 hours and Bianco will validate the rest of your ticket for you. You will ended up with either free parking or $2 at most imo.
(Most parking spots in front of Bianco are usually packed so save yourself a few minutes driving in there and back out)
I have never spent more than 2 hours eating pizza but I’m not sure about others 
This is the parking structure, less than 20 steps to Bianco and it’s FREE for 2 hrs. Assignment copied from @Ns1 lol
