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".

Just a reminder that Rihaku “Origin of Purity” Junmai Ginjo Nama Genshu lands at the shop tomorrow, 7/16. Though a limited allocation, we still have plenty of bottles not yet spoken for, so you’ve still got time to speak up! This year’s version has been aged a bit more than in the past, and we can’t wait to taste how it compares. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating New Brewsday tomorrow when we begin featuring the new menu. Kanpai!

Kanpai and see you Tuesday!

Happy Birthday to the amazing @sashilovesrilakkuma and @jasmine.h.stroud! They are the funniest, kindest, and most talented people I know. It’s a good thing they’re smart like their mom and pretty like . . . their mom, @taiko_stroud. I miss them like crazy, but I’m so happy for them to be out in the world, doing their own thing. ‘Can’t wait to celebrate this birthday with them in person in a few weeks. Kanpai and Happy Birthday to The Wonder Twins!!🎂🎂

Kouro Junmai Ginjo.
It’s fair to say that encountering this sake 18 years ago changed Johnnie’s life and more or less inspired us to do what we do. The sake is rare and extremely difficult for us to source, but we’re featuring it by the glass this week and we’d love to share it with you.
Kanpai!

Just in time to commemorate Saké Nomi’s 17th anniversary, we’re thrilled to announce the return of one of the most impactful sake we’ve ever encountered: Koro Junmai Ginjo.
Though mere English words can’t come close to describing this sake’s majesty, please know that we’ve been pursuing it since before we opened our business, and its influence on how we approach premium Japanese sake has been profound.
This initial allotment is only 12 bottles (6 bottles arrive tomorrow!) and they will go quickly, so if you’re interested, please message us or stop by the shop.
Keep cool and saké on! Kanpai!!
