Umi Sake House is a unique Japanese cuisine restaurant in the Belltown area of Seattle featuring the highest quality seafood available in the Northwest, a large izakaya-style tapas menu, and boasting a sake list of over 60 imported Japanese bottles. The interior is multi-faceted, with a black slate tiled traditional dining room, a gorgeous 14 person capacity wooden sushi bar, a semi private "tatami" room which holds 12 people, a larger 25 person private dining room, an enclosed "back patio" casual dining room complete with tropical garden, a black concrete liquor bar with custom sake cocktails and fusion traditional cocktails. The variety of atmospheres allows for a different experience with every visit, and the vastness and quality of the menu does the same. For the budding sake enthusiast or the seasoned veteran, the sake menu at Umi is bottle for bottle the best found anywhere outside of Japan!

    It was our first time and we were delighted to find we were able to order from the happy hour menu (5:30 reservation). 16 plates later, we were stuffed and it was a great value! 👍🏽👍🏽

    Food was amazing as hoped it would be. Saki was terrible. We were 4 years ago on our anniversary also and wife had a saki flight and loved 4 of 5 of them. This time we tried 6 different ones and they were all terrible. Severe let down since it was our one goto dinner on our trip to Seattle. It won't be on the list next time. Sad.

    This was for my husband’s birthday. Usually birthday boy is greeted but there was no mention of it. No big deal because everything else was perfect.
