Saké (pronounced “sa-kay”):
An alcoholic beverage brewed using water, rice, and koji mold as its main ingredients.
Nomi (pronounced “noh-mee”):
Japanese word meaning “only.” When paired with the word saké, it is also slang for, to put it politely, “one who likes to drink.” (from the verb nomu, to drink)
We named our shop Saké Nomi because we sell only premium saké, and we hope to create an atmosphere that will appeal to “drinking enthusiasts".
'Tis the season, and here they are: the first 2019 spring batch of limited release unpasteurized namazake. What a great way to start the weekend -- Kanpai!
Status
The first batch of Spring Namas are coming! The Spring Namas are coming! And arriving momentarily . . . TGIF & Kanpai!
Nyukon “Into Your Soul” Tokubetsu Honjozo. Depth and umami! Complex, but very “session friendly.” The importer’s suggested pairing? The Rolling Stones’ “Exile on Main Street.” Rock ‘n roll and Kanpai! #niigatasakeselections #musashinoshuzu #nyukon #tokubetsuhonjozo #入魂 #スキー正宗 #rockandroll #sakenomi #sakenomiseattle #sake #japanesesake #premiumsake #日本酒 #kanpai #日本酒専門店 #日本酒bar #日本酒バー #地酒 #nihonshu #sakebar
Sake Gladness: Spring Namazake Season https://mailchi.mp/a0a577801964/march-madness-sake-gladness
New to Washington, and a last minute addition to this week’s menu: Yuho “Rhythm of the Centuries Junmai. Brewed using the labor intensive yama oroshi (aka kimoto) method and bottle-aged for 4 years, it’s surprisingly soft, light, and elegant for an aged sake. Abundant aromas of brandy, brown sugar, soy, and miso, just to name a few. Super dark gold coloring lets you know you’re in for a treat, and it’s fun at a wide variety of serving temperatures (though we think room temperature to slightly warmer might be juuust right). And, don’t forget about the UFOs
Tatenokawa 50 Nakadori Dewasansan Junmai Daiginjo. The “rich & dry” combination is pretty unique in premium sake, and we could not be more excited about adding this gorgeous and substantial brew to our lineup. Featured on this week’s menu, and from the same folks who brought you the fantastic & popular PHOENIX, please give it a try. Kanpai!
Also featured this week, Nanbu Bijin Shinpaku Junmai Daiginjo. The label depicts the starchy “white heart” (shinpaku) of the rice used to brew the sake — in this case, the “king” of sake rice, Yamada Nishiki. Kanpai! #南部美人 #心白 #sakenomi #sakenomiseattle #sake #japanesesake #premiumsake #日本酒 #kanpai #日本酒専門店 #日本酒bar #日本酒バー #地酒 #nihonshu #sakebar #岩手の地酒 #純米大吟醸
In the house and on the menu: Mana 1751 Tokubetsu Junmai, from Fukui prefecture. A yamahai muroka genshu, it is packed with exquisitely balanced flavors and has become an instant house favorite. Please give it a try. TGIF & Kanpai!

This should help clarify things. For the record, we refer to muroka sake as “unfiltered,” and nigorizake as “cloudy,” and we proudly offer both. Kanpai!
