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".

Half-way through Dry Sake January, and here’s one of our all-timers to satisfy your winter thirst: Hitakami Chokarakuchi (“Super Dry”).
Sunflower golden tint with notes of cola, honey, and peony in the nose. The amazing texture of this sake is a highlight--so soft and surprisingly full. A mild, not unpleasant astringency in the finish. This brewery's No. 1 seller, specifically brewed to accompany sushi.
