Konnichi wa, Nomidachi!
What a great time to be a sake drinker in Seattle!
Why?
Because we've just received word from one of our distributors that the next wave of limited seasonal release spring namazake have arrived and are available for us to take delivery next week.
Our plan is to bring in a couple varities every wee, until they run out. We haven’t determined the order in which we will receive them (except for the Denshin Fuyu mentioned below--we've already got a couple cases in the fridge!), but your input (orders) will definitely have an influence on it. All prices listed will be reduced 10% for cumulative orders totaling 6 bottles or more, making it a “case” discount.
If possible, please confirm your interest by Tuesday, March 28.
Please let us know if you have any questions or special requests concerning these beautiful brews.
Kanpai and arigatou!

Rihaku “Origins of Purity” Junmai Ginjo Nama Genshu (Shimane)
Fairly pronounced golden tint, with aromas of peach, mango, kiwi, nectarine, and a touch of mint. Silky, soft mouthfeel, with citrusy flavors of young fruit on the palate. Richness and depth of flavor with an overall impression of being substantial but not overpowering. $60/720 ml bottle Fukucho “Moon on the Water” Junmai Ginjo Namazake (Hiroshima) The nose shows notes of pine needles, oranges, cloves, ginger, and persimmon. Lively and fairly acidic on the palate (nearly carbonated!). Juicy and sharp melon flavors contrast nicely with the sake’s soft texture. $60/720 ml bottle Ama no To “Heaven’s Door” Tokubetsu Junmai Namazake (Akita) Salt and mineral essences. The medium body and soft texture make it a good “food sake” (parmesan cheese will be delightful). Vaguely sweet, though with a drier, somewhat sharp finish and a touch astringent in the end. $50/720 ml bottle Taka “Noble Arrow” Tokubetsu Junmai Namazake (Yamaguchi) Golden, slightly hazy coloring with vaguely citrus and mineral notes in the nose. Soft, pretty mouthfeel. Mildly sweet, but with tart, almost sour accents, as well. Nice acidity and a finish that kind of hangs around. $50/720 ml bottle Denshin Fuyu “Winter” Shiboritate Nama Honjozo (Fukui) Notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and dried dates in the nose. Soft, smooth texture, and malty, mildly sweet, and a touch boozy at 17-18% ABV. An alcohol added honjozo, the brewery distills its own shochu from local rice, which is added to the main mash. $45/720 ml bottle
