A hidden gem, waiting to be discovered.

Our chicken liver pâté is new to the menu, yet still flying under the radar. Don’t let the name fool you. One bite might change the way you think about chicken liver.

Rich, smooth, and full of flavour, paired with the sweet tartness of Saskatoon berry jam and the delicate crunch of Japanese sweet potato chips.

Take a generous dip, savour every bite, and discover what you’ve been missing.

This Halloween, we’re taking a different way,
No spooky décor, just a night to sway.

We’re collaborating with Klynk Tasseography ,
where tarot meets dinner in unexpected links.

Let the cards guide what you choose to taste,
and open your mind to a fresh perspective and a different way to dine.

No tricks, no fright, no haunted scene,
just an experience unlike anything you’ve seen.

One night only, at Tipsy Samurai.
Come see where tarot meets the table this Halloween night.

For the first time in Saskatchewan, we’re welcoming a special guest from a sake brewery in Japan.

Ayako Doi, Director of Doi Sake Brewery in Shizuoka, Japan, the brewery behind the renowned Kaiun sake, will be joining us for one very special evening.

We’ll also be welcoming Yasuhiro Washiyama of Sakegami, the official importer of Kaiun in Western Canada. Originally from the same neighbourhood as the brewery, Yasuhiro brings a personal connection to Kaiun as well as extensive knowledge of premium sake.

This dinner has a very personal meaning for us.

Our sake sommelier’s family lives in Kumamoto, and their homes were significantly damaged by the devastating earthquake earlier this summer. This inspired us to create this dinner as a charity event, with profits going toward recovery efforts in Kumamoto.

Chef Ringo is creating a special omakase menu designed specifically to pair with Kaiun sake. We’ll be featuring more Kaiun than we have ever had at Tipsy Samurai.

Tuesday, October 6
6 PM to 8 PM
Tipsy Samurai Bar + Charcoal Grill

The Eventbrite ticket includes the special omakase dinner. Kaiun sake is not included and the optional sake pairing can be added separately at the restaurant that evening.

The profit from the dinner, along with profits from designated Kaiun sake and special dishes offered to our regular guests that evening, will be donated to support Kumamoto.

One night only.

A rare opportunity to meet someone directly from the brewery, learn about Kaiun and its sake making tradition, and experience a special omakase created by Chef Ringo.

Tickets are available through Eventbrite, the link in our profile, or our website.

𝐊𝐔𝐌𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐎 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐐𝐔𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐑 × 𝐃𝐎𝐈 𝐒𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐘

We are putting together a very special evening at Tipsy Samurai to support Kumamoto following the devastating earthquake at the end of July.

We will be hosting a Kumamoto Earthquake Charity Dinner with Doi Sake Brewery, featuring a special course dinner paired with Kaiun "New Fortune" sake, crafted by Doi Sake Brewery in Japan.

Tickets and full event details will be announced soon.

This evening will also be a rare opportunity to meet Ayako Doi from Doi Sake Brewery, who will be visiting Tipsy Samurai in person. This will be the first time we have welcomed someone from the brewery here, aside from our own sake sommelier.

This is a cause that is very personal to us. Our sake sommelier’s family lives in Kumamoto, including his sister, uncles, aunts, and cousins. Their homes were severely damaged by the earthquake, and they are now facing the difficult process of recovering and rebuilding.

What he saw in the photos sent by his family was far worse than what he had seen reported on the internet or on television. Seeing the damage to the homes of people he loves made this disaster feel very different from simply watching the news.

We wanted to find a way to help from here in Regina.

Profits from this dinner will be donated to support recovery efforts in Kumamoto Prefecture.

We hope to bring our community together for an evening of good food and sake, while doing something meaningful for the people of Kumamoto who are suffering and working to rebuild.

More details and tickets coming soon.

Special thanks to Sakegami and 土井酒造場 DOISHUZOJO/静岡県掛川市の日本酒蔵元 for their help to create this special event.

SPECIAL GUEST SAKE NIGHT

We’re excited to welcome Washi from Calgary to Tipsy Samurai for a one-night-only sake event on Wednesday, June 3rd.

Washi is a co-founder & managing director of Sakegami, premium Japanese sake importer, and will be at Tipsy for the evening to guide you to the world of the premium sake.

To celebrate, ALL sake by the glass will be just $10 all night.

This is a rare chance to casually explore premium Japanese sake, ask questions, compare styles, and discover bottles you normally wouldn’t try by the glass in Saskatchewan.

No tickets.

Just drop in and drink some great sake.

Regular food menu available.

Welcome to the realm of Tipsy Samurai.

**Important Announcement**

Starting June 1, 2026, Tipsy Samurai will no longer be serving lunch.

We’re not slowing down
— we’re just choosing to focus.

We’ll be putting all our energy into dinner service, where we can do what we care about most: good service, a great atmosphere, and food we’re really proud of. The kind of experience we want to keep improving, and the kind we hope stays with you after you leave.

Lunch at our space will still continue.
will be taking over lunch service here everyday except Mondays.

Same space, new lunch direction.

We’ll see you in the evening.

We’re here to make your night stand out,
More than a meal you think about.
Not just a bite, but space to breathe,
A break from all you need to leave.

We feed your heart, not just your plate—
Come to Tipsy, elevate.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

If you’ve ever been to Tipsy, you know Miki — from her w**e expertise, her TikTok appearances, and the kind of elevated, detail-driven hospitality that defines the experience we strive to create.

At the end of this month, she’ll be heading to Calgary to begin her next chapter 🥂

Her final shift with us will be next Friday April 17th, and her presence on the floor will be deeply missed.

We invite you to join us this week to wish her well and raise a glass in her honor.

Thank you, Miki, for setting the standard.

– Team Tipsy
