Greetings, Nomidachi!![]() NEW HOURS: OPEN SUNDAYS @ NOON- 6 PM Johnnie's finally feeling up to it, and we hope you are, too! If you're out and about this Sunday, please stop by and say "Hi," treat yourself to a taste, or grab a bottle to enjoy at home. Saké Nomi Cinema & Sake Tasting: The Birth of Saké & Tedorigawa Saké Saturday, April 23 @ 7 pm Fresh off the international festival film circuit, director Erik Shirai's beautifully photographed film, The Birth of Saké, is an intimate look at some of the human dynamics involved in the physically and emotionally demanding premium sake brewing process. ![]() Admission, of course, is FREE, and Tedorigawa sake (as well as the excellent selections from our "regular" weekly menu) will be available for purchase by the glass, flight, and bottle throughout the evening. Saké from Earthquake-Stricken Kumamoto: Zuiyo While we don't see that much sake imported from Kyushu, in general, and Kumamoto prefecture, in particular, some of our favorites are from that southern island. Unfortunately, Kumamoto prefecture has recently been absolutely rocked by a couple large-scale earthquakes and the continuing aftershocks -- not to mention ensuing typhoon rains. The Zuiyo brewery has suffered extensive damage and their staff is immersed in the arduous clean-up ![]() The name "Lucky Hawk" comes from a story about a hawk landing in the brewery on New Year's Day -- a sign of good luck that we hope will once again manifest itself and help these folks get through these very challenging circumstances. Thanks very much for reading. We hope to greet you again at Saké Nomi soon. Kanpai! Johnnie & Taiko |
Konnichi wa, Nomidachi!![]() Spring is also the time of year we begin seeing the super popular "seasonal release" unpasteurized namazake. We're currently featuring an intriguingly delicious one, and we've got more on the way in the coming weeks. We also mention below some of our favorites that are now available on a limited basis or in a new economical and aesthetically pleasing format. There's nothing like opening your fridge and seeing a big, beautiful 1.8-liter bottle beckoning you! On a personal note, Johnnie's post-surgery recovery continues to progress well, and your support has been invaluable and sincerely appreciated. As ever, thanks very much for your friendship and patronage, and we hope you'll have a chance to stop by the shop soon so we can catch up. Kanpai! Johnnie & Taiko |
