Andy and Jim sweat over the details of summer sake. Is it light and refreshing, or hefty and punchy? Is it a brand new idea or something as old as brewing rice into booze? Lean back in your beach chair, slather on some sunscreen, and get ready to bre... more

  • Knowledge you could never access and experience you could hardly get.

    This podcast is a revelation for all those who dig into the internet and books for more details but keep bumping on the same or similar information. With historical and literature quotes as well as first hand brewing experience. I wish there was a similar podcast for anything else but I am lucky to love Sake and have such resources.

    Please never stop!

  • Great Sake Podcast

    Great podcast for those who love sake and want to go deeper into the subject. The style is light but the material is extremely informative. I like the controversial opinions which are backed up with solid research. Some sake ideas need to be challenged. If you agree this is the show for you. Highly recommended for those who love nihonshu. Currently my favourite show about sake.
