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".
Isihikawa prefecture’s Yuho “Eternal Embers” Junmai. Fun fact: Ishikawa has more annual UFO sightings than any other region in Japan, and *Yuho* is the Japanese pronunciation of UFO. Close encounters of the delicious kind. Kanpai!
Yaemon Junmai Ginjo. One benefit of rotating our menu every week is we get to reacquaint ourselves with forgotten favorites. Mellow sweetness, mild astringency, and a bit of acidity for exquisite balance.

We’re open and piecing the place back together after last night’s rather raucous event with Tahoma Fuji. If you’re up for it, come on down and help us polish these babies off. Sake Sunday School now in session!
The pride of Yamaguchi prefecture, Dassai “50” Junmai Daiginjo. We’re especially fond of it because it’s available in the “big boy” 1.8L size. 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 #獺祭 #山口の地酒 #純米大吟醸
Re-introducing Kawatsuru Junmai from Kagawa prefecture. Tropical fruit and mildly herbal notes in the nose, and the flavor begins on the savory, umami end of the spectrum, but progresses toward a dry finish — a satisfying and interesting drinker’s journey.

One of the first topics we cover when introducing our favorite beverage to the uninitiated. Remember, it doesn’t rhyme with “hockey.”

See you at 6?? Sorry about the delay!
Keep an eye out for this one from Jinyu (est. 1689) in Chiba prefecture, Ukiyoe Shiro Koji Junmai. As the name implies, a white koji is used in the brewing process, giving the sake very unique richly sweet and acidic characteristics. Hitting our shelves and menu very soon. 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
New week, new menu, featuring this gem from Sado Island (Niigata), Manotsuru “Four Diamonds” Junmai Ginjo Genshu. 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 #genshu #niigatasakeselections #junmaiginjo
Zaku Ho no Tomo. Amazing junmai ginjo masquerading as a junmai. Please come back soon: we’d like to continue exploring this relationship. Kanpai, Baby!
