My wife and I buy online from Umami Mart since they are one of the few Japanese liquor stores that will ship to New Mexico. They are also one of the few online retailers that offers an impressively diverse selection of Shochu and Awamori--a strong selling point for their business.

Excellent (albeit small) highly curated inventory of quality Japanese goods. The best selection of high-quality sake in the East Bay (or even the Bay area as far as I know). lf I have a criticism of Umami Mart, however, it would be that their prices are higher than what I normally pay at other stores.
