Hey There, Nomidachi!![]() Weekend Hours Please note that we will be CLOSED Sunday, February 4 due to the Super Bowl. Since Jazz is attending Drexel University in Philadelphia, and she says an Eagles' win would result in classes being cancelled Tuesday for a victory parade, she requests us to pull for them. Also, anyone but the Patriots. First Namazake Arrival of 2018: Shichi Hon Yari Our first spring "seasonal" release of 2018, past allotments of this sake have been scarce and have sold out very quickly. The nose is slightly smokey and yeasty, with notes of browned bread pastry, tangerine, and even a little mozzarella. With a light, soft mouthfeel, it features melon and mellow fruitiness on the palate, with some smoke and earthiness mid-palate and traces of astringency and tartness on the edges and in the finish. Yes, there's a lot going on in this shiboritate (freshly pressed) nama genshu (undiluted @ 17-18% alcohol). Price: $45/720 ml (10% “case” discount on orders of 6 or more bottles)
Arigatou, and Kanpai! Johnnie & Taiko |
Happy New Year!![]() Thank you for making 2017 a pretty great year, and we thank you in advance for looking favorably upon our sake-related efforts in 2018 (In very simplified Japanese, "yoroshiku onegai shimasu"). Weekend Hours Things are pretty much back to normal, as far as operating hours go. Friday- Saturday: 2- 10 pm Sunday: 2- 6 pm 2017 Sake of Note In newsletters at the beginning of past years, we've listed what turned out to be the best-sellers from the previous year as kind of a summary and survey of how Seattle sake drinkers' tastes are shaping up. The list is usually heavily weighted toward limited seasonal releases (especially namazake), many of which will not be available again until late spring. With that, we'll begin 2018 by keeping things relatively short and, hopefully, sweet. Thanks for reading. Arigatou, and Kanpai! Johnnie & Taiko |
