Taste of Japan in Seattle, シアトルでは日本の味

On the uncut lawn
A bloodbath of flower petals
Naked limbs weeping

So this post breaks from the norm a little. I hope you don't mind too much!

I went to Seattle last week and stopped in at a shop called Sake Nomi. My first visit was a little brief, long enough to taste some of the Sake and purchase my favorite. While I was there I was invited back by the owner, Johnnie. (Why I don't know, I'm really not that nice a fellow!)

At any rate, I went back and had a great time. Another patron was there and we spent the evening talking Japan and watching a few movie clips on the big screen. Oh, and not to mention.... DRINKING SAKE of course!

So here's why I bring this up. This is the first time I've discussed any businesses on the blog. And it isn't something I will do often. However, this is one I think is worth mentioning. Johnnie was and excellent host and his store is top rate. Makes me want to open one in Spokane!

I was very impressed by the amount of Sake he had on display, Everything from Iwate, Kyoto, to Hyogo. Needless to say I didn't have enough money.

I enjoy going to Seattle and make sure to stop at Uwajimaya and Kinokuniya any time I am in town. I am happy to make Sake Nomi on of my staple stops whenever I'm there. It's easy to get to right off of Pioneer Square within walking distance of the Stadiums. Should you be in the area I would definitely recommend it. It certainly sports the largest Sake inventory in the state, if not the region including British Columbia.

Anyway, Check it out. Here's the link to Sake Nomi's homepage:

Here's a link to a map too.

Enjoy! 5$ gets you an excellent sampling of Sake! Have some on me... Ah heck, 5 bucks is nothing, you can handle it yourself!
