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".

Today’s exciting news is that despite summer coming valiantly charging back, the year’s first autumn seasonal once-pasteurized hiyaoroshi sake is now available to us.
We will be receiving a couple dozen bottles of the Heiwa KID Junmai Ginjo Hiyaoroshi next Tuesday, September 10.
Remember this one? Our brief notes are: Fairly dark gold/amber tint with soft strawberry fragrance and suggestions of dairy/cream. Light, soft texture with solid acidity.
If you’re interested in ordering a couple bottles, please give us a shout ASAP. Kanpai!!
