North Charleston is Getting a New Wine Bar From Dashi
Exciting news, food lovers of North Charleston! The beloved restaurant Dashi, known for its fabulous Asian and Latin fusion cuisine, is expanding its horizons with the addition of a brand new wine bar, set to open this summer. That’s right; Dashi Wine Bar and Emporium will be making its debut at 5660 Rivers Ave., which is just a hop and a skip away from its original location. Talk about convenience!
A Brief History of Dashi
For those who may not know, Dashi started as a food truck before making the leap to a brick-and-mortar restaurant. Since its opening on September 11, 2019, it has captured the hearts (and stomachs) of locals with a vibrant menu featuring dishes like duck ramen, ceviche, and fried chicken tacos. Dashi truly mastered the art of blending flavors, and folks can hardly resist the culinary journey they offer.
The Success of the Wine Club
One of the highlights of the Dashi experience has been its popular wine club, which has now become a community favorite. Currently, this club boasts around 150 members, who enjoy an array of offerings. For just $40 a month, members receive two bottles of wine, access to exclusive monthly tastings, and even discounts on beer and sake. That’s a pretty sweet deal for alcohol aficionados!
And it seems that the wine club is more than just a hit; attendance at these tastings has been impressive, often drawing in around 80 attendees. With such enthusiasm from patrons, launching a dedicated wine bar simply makes sense. After all, having a space focused on wine can be a more economical approach to broadening their impact than opening an entirely new restaurant, especially in a bustling area like Charleston.
What to Expect at the Wine Bar
The upcoming Dashi Wine Bar will offer a well-curated selection of wines from Spain, Portugal, Central, and South America, available both by the glass and bottle. Pairing those delightful sips will be an array of tasty snacks from the Dashi kitchen, including their famous Spanish-style pintxo. It sounds like the perfect spot to unwind with friends after a long day or even just to treat yourself on a cozy evening out.
Building on a Culinary Experience
The opening of Dashi Wine Bar is more than just an expansion; it signifies the restaurant’s commitment to offering unique culinary experiences that blend different flavors and cultures. Dashi Wine Bar will become an extension of everything that has made the original restaurant so special, creating a welcoming environment for those who appreciate great food and wine.
Looking Ahead
As the summer approaches, anticipation is building for the grand opening of Dashi Wine Bar and Emporium. Locals are sure to flock to the new spot, eager to sip on fantastic wines and snack on delicious bites. Dashi has already proven itself to be a trendsetter in North Charleston, and this next step looks to be just as promising.
If you haven’t experienced the magic of Dashi yet, now might be the perfect time to get on board. With a bright future ahead, the team behind Dashi is poised to keep delighting customers with innovative culinary offerings that blend cultures, flavors, and experiences. So mark your calendars and get ready for a tasty adventure in wine and food!
