Bougie brews: Sipping on Some Spendy Sake

Sake Revolution ·

2021/02/12

Season 1. Episode 44. Last week was an exploration of bargain brews, so this week it only seems natural to dip our toes into the world of "bougie brews" - and by that we mean sakes that cost over $80 per bottle. Now this is an area that is reserved usually for special occasion or holiday sake. But for us this week, we are discussing the virtues of paying more for that premium sake experience. We think it goes without saying that sakes of all prices can be absolutely delicious, but when

Sake Revolution ·

2021/02/05

Season 1. Episode 43. When buying sake, price is always a consideration, and compared to wine, imported premium sake usually comes at, well, a premium price. What makes a sake expensive? The first factor is often the "seimaibuai" or rice milling rate. The smaller the rice is milled, the more expensive the sake will be. Transportation costs also add to the cost of sake. But are there affordable sakes out there? Can you find a good sake and a rock bottom price? This week John and Tim

Futsushu: The Extraordinary World of Regular Sake

Sake Revolution ·

2021/01/23

Season 1. Episode 41. The word “futsu” in Japanese means regular or ordinary. In the sake industry, Futsushu is the word we use to refer to NON-premium sake. That is regular, ordinary or what some might call “table” sake. However, Futsushu is not one size fits all. What makes ordinary sake ordinary? Often it comes down to the rules and regulations for how premium sake is defined in Japan. With the exception of distilled alcohol, no additives are allowed in premium sake. Rules for so-called regular

Season 1. Episode 31. This episode can be summed up in a word: "Tokubetsu"... now that just means Special. If you want to short and sweet version you are done!
