Remember the viaduct? We raise a glass in its general vicinity. Kanpai! @ Sake Nomi

Developments at the west end of South Washington St. We highly recommend approaching Sake Nomi from the east (1st Ave.) end of the street

One of the rare Kyushu imports, Zuiyo “Lucky Hawk” Junmai from Kumamoto prefecture. Sharp, layered, and complex, with a hint of cola. The name comes from the story about a hawk landing at the brewery on New Year’s Day — a sign of good luck, and reason enough to drink. TGIF & Kanpai!

It’s damn near down. Don’t mind the dust! @ Sake Nomi

Taking very specific musical requests today. We know it’s only rock ‘n roll, but we like it. Kanpai & welcome to Seattle, The Rolling Stones!

Kibo Junmai from way up north in Iwate prefecture. Remember, there’s always “Hope.” Glad to be back on a Tuesday afternoon! Kanpai!

Kuro Kabuto “Black Samurai Helmet” Junmai Daiginjo from Fukuoka. Also known around here as “the Darth Vader of sake,” there’s a story behind the name, but you gotta come down and enjoy a glass or two to find out. It doesn’t get much better than summer Saturday sake! Kanpai!
