About NOMU

Discovering local areas through Sake

Nomu is a project that showcases the sake from one specific region in Japan, to feature their local history and culture, and methods of brewing sake. Re-branding is being undertaken to promote these breweries, spreading their reputation and seeking new sales markets both inside and outside of Japan.

Launch

We will be hosting three days of tasting projects at Hazel Restaurant.

This project is aiming to highlight the area where sake has not yet been explored, that is now seeing an increase in demand.
We wish to introduce high-quality sake breweries from Shizuoka, often described as “Shizuoka Kingdom of Ginjo”.
We are teaming up with The Mulberry Group who successfully run award-winning restaurants, including Hazel, as well as their social enterprise farm Common Ground Project in Freshwater Creek.
This is the first time these sake’s will be tasted in Melbourne.
