    Back to Basics: Sake Ingredients, Classifications and Production

    Episode 184. With a new year fast approaching—and an astonishing five years of podcasting under our belts—we thought it was the perfect time to go back to basics. In this episode, we revisit some of the cornerstone concepts of sake, offering a concise refresher on ingredients, classifications, and production. Sake remains a niche category in the world of alcohol, and every day new fans are looking for a clear, approachable foundation. Our hope is that this episode provides helpful insight and practical knowledge to support the beginning—or deepening—of your sake journey. Here’s to a great new year filled with more sake learning, tasting, and plenty of fun along the way. #SakeRevolution Support the show

  4. Sake Recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage

    2025. 10. 21.

    Sake Recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage

    Episode 182. In December of 2024 "Sake" received a special recognition from UNESCO - the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. UNESCO is probably most famous for recognizing cultural heritage sites... like Mount Fuji or Himeji Castle.  But in the case of of sake made with koji, it was recognized officially as an "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity". How cool is that? While this is not exactly hot-off-the-presses breaking news, we wanted to take a moment to recognize and reflect on this milestone.  The craft of making sake with koji is worth protecting, celebrating and handing down to the next generation of artisans.  Join us as we sip some some sake and enjoy our favorite Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity together. #SakeRevolution Support the show

  6. The Kobo Chronicles: LED Yume Yeast

    2025. 07. 21.

    The Kobo Chronicles: LED Yume Yeast

    Episode 180. In this episode, we again shine a light on the role of Sake Yeast in our series known as the Kobo Chronicles. “Irradiation” and “mutant” are not typical words you’d find in sake marketing, but Tokushima Prefecture makes it work in promoting their “LED YUME” sake yeast. By exposing yeast to blue LED lights, they’ve created new strains of sake yeast for use specifically by Tokushima Prefecture breweries. The brewers at Narutotai have taken this yeast and made a sake that give us sweet flavors – we’re talking jammy notes of pineapple and mango. A noticeably high acidity balances out the sweetness and rounds out the palate. If you’d like to see the major role that a mutant yeast variety can play in a sake, join us and listen in! #SakeRevolution Support the show

  7. Branded: Hououbiden

    2025. 07. 02.

    Branded: Hououbiden

    Episode 179. This week, John and Timothy explore another brand profile: Hououbiden from Kobayashi Shuzo in Tochigi Prefecture.  How does a brewery go from the edge of bankruptcy to become a coveted cult sake? To quote Huey Lewis, that's the power of love!  This brewery is managed by the rare combination of a husband who is the brewery president and a wife who is the Master Brewer/Toji. The sake they make is etherial and elegant. Today's tasting - the Hououbiden "Asahi Mai" Junmai Daiginjo - left Timothy speechless... and John was thrilled - with the sake! Join us as we explore the flavors and compelling story of Hououbiden together!  #SakeRevolution Support the show
