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".
Tensei “Song of the Sea” Junmai Ginjo. Dark golden coloring, with aromas of lychee and melon. Soft and lissome on the palate, with a mild, bright fruitiness. First time featured on Sake Nomi’s menu, and worth a contemplative Kanpai. TGIF, y’all!
Takatenjin “Soul of the Sensei” Junmai Daiginjo, from Doi Shuzo in Shizuoka. Fruit notes of papaya, mango, and melon in the nose. Fairly dry, with a soft, full mouthfeel, and the settled depth of Yamada Nishiki sake rice.

Open from 2 pm today. You can have a say in what time we close. Kanpai!
We don’t often feature “cloudy” nigorizake on our “regular” weekly rotating menu, but when we do, we don’t mess around. Daishichi Yukishibori is a once-pasteurized kimoto style lightly sparkling nigorizake with aromas of pears and white peaches. Light, clean, and vaguely mineral on the palate, this is the real champagne for oysters.

We are CLOSED today. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we really appreciate all the positive feedback of late, and we'll use the day to reflect on that, and get in a little rest and family time. Thank you for your enthusiastic support, and Kanpai to all the sake-drinking dads on Father's Day!
Kenbishi (est. 1505). Because Dad wants to drink like (or thinks he is) a samurai. TGIF & Kanpai! #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 #kenbishi #samurai #剣菱
Featured on this week’s menu, Nanbu Bijin “Shinpaku” was recently awarded a Platinum Medal at Kura Master 2019, a prestigious sake exhibition held annually in France. The shinpaku image on the label represents the starchy “white heart” of the sake rice used to brew the sake. Happy Tuesday & Kanpai! #nanbubijin #shinpaku #iwate #南部美人 #白心 #岩手酒 #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
In sake, all these colors mean, “Go!” Kanpai!
It’s here, but not for long : Tamanohikari “Shukon” Shiboritate Genshu. Candied fruit, cream, and pink grapefruit in the nose. Clean, soft, and full, with a bracing genshu bite in the finish. We’ve only got a few left, and plan on pouring it by the glass and selling bottles throughout the weekend, while supplies last. This is a very limited spring seasonal release — Don’t miss it! Kanpai!
Just a few of the award-winning and internationally acclaimed sake we’re pouring this weekend. TGIF & Kanpai! #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 #theotherjapanesewordstartingwiths #seattle #zaku #okunomatsu #bijofu
