I know I know…we won’t shut up about Kuroshio, but we couldn’t let this deal go by without passing it on to you, our loyal drink-guzzling readership. They’re having a full-blown Halloween costume-party thingy on Saturday, November 3rd (yes, we know it’s technically after Halloween, but you know as well as we do that the good parties don’t really happen until the weekend, when we’re free of our accursed responsibilities) where the best costume wins a $50 gift card.

Oh yeah, and all night all draft beers are $1! Can you hear that!?! It’s the sound of our stomachs gurgling in anticipation of the sweetest kind of booze known to man…nearly-free, that is (if it were completely free, we’d already be there lined up outside the door, day-jobs be damned). They’ll have a live DJ on hand to keep the party hip-hoppin’ and be-boppin’ until the wee hours of the morning, when all the suckers who don’t read this site will be sleeping and NOT drinking $1 beers. I feel bad for them, honestly. We’ll try not to rub it in their faces too much. Maybe just a little.

Or something. You get what I’m trying to say. If you made it out to Kuroshio last night, well then you probably feel something like us: satisfied, well-fed, and more than a little hung over. If you didn’t make it out, you probably feel like the poindexter who chose to help his grandmother with her knitting instead of going to a kickass party where things got so nuts that that one girl you like (you know the one, the one you’ve had a not-so-secret crush on since 8th grade?) hooked up with that jackass who shanked you in P.E. in elementary school and everyone laughed…all because you weren’t there. She was looking for you, dude. Where were you? She WANTED you, man!

Grand opening successful? Yes. Wild epic party? Yes. Photographic proof? Here. Though we can’t show you ALL the pictures, this is a family drinking site.

That’s right, you little sake-monsters, Kuroshio is about to have their official Grand Opening Event on 10/20/07. Given our previous experience there, it’s bound to be a blast. We’ve been tipped off that there will be drink and food specials galore, not to mention the thrilling conclusion to their design-a-roll contest. Come on down and we’ll do a sake bomb with ya!*

*You’re buying, of course

Right off the bat, straight out of the park, we serve you up a winner (we’re pros, trust us). Kuroshio is the newest sushi spot to set up shop in Kennesaw, and in our humble opinion, we think they’re a winner. We saddled up to the table there for a few hours, and besides the unnumbered near-free $1.50 Miller Light drafts we managed to slam down, the sushi they served up was something to behold. The atmosphere in Kuroshio is actually pretty classy (for us, anyway), but with a comfortable feel. And the staff is so friendly and downright welcoming that you feel immediately at home shoving Crazy Rolls and Ahi Poki sashimi down your throat between generous gulps of sake.

Oh yeah, the sake. We’re not entirely sure how many kinds we sampled, or even which one was our favorite, but we MUST recommend the selection at Kuroshio. If you’ve never tried it, give it a shot (or twelve) before dismissing it. If you’ve had it and maybe weren’t sure if it was for you, the DrinkPlanner staff highly recommends the wide selection of cold premium sakes to whet your whistle. I mean, you can stick with the plain old beer, if you’re going to be a crybaby about it. But once you’re settled in, you’ll probably be drinking both. We certainly did.

So check out Kuroshio, they’ve got a damn fine collection of high-octane beverages, and some sushi (not to mention some of the best fried rice this writer has ever come across) that could very well knock your socks off.  Clean.  Off. Tell ‘em DrinkPlanner sent ya.

Welcome to DrinkPlanner.com, your one-stop source for the best drink specials! Right now we’re only covering the Kennesaw area (give us a break, Atlanta is a big damn city) but we promise we’ll be expanding throughout the city one unsuspecting community at a time, eventually taking over the entire metro area as an unstoppable booze-fueled zombie army, the raspy cry of “Shhhhhooootsssssss” escaping from our withered and well-worn throats the only warning the pitiable townsfolk will have before being trampled and devoured by our unquenchable thirst for quality drinks at decent prices. Poor bastards never had a chance.

So take a look around, sign up as a member for full access to all the best hooch-stops we’ve found…and if you know of something we don’t, hit us up and we’ll pass the word on to your fellow booze-hounds. We’ve got big plans for this site (seriously, we can’t even keep track of them all), so check back frequently as we ramp up into full-blown interweb alcoholic legends before your very eyes. You can say you knew us back when.
