Ep 84 - Saké and Oishinbo
Saturday Feb 25, 2012
Saturday Feb 25, 2012
Join us for a discussion on the origins and production of saké, and a tasting of four Junmai quality sakés: Sho Chiku Bai, Izumi, Hakusturu and Rihaku's Wandering Poet. We tried to be as accurate as possible, while sticking to our motto of "drink it how you like it". Much respect to the Toji near and far who make delicious saké - KANPAI!

This show deals with some of our favourite wineries, past and present. Wine is for everybody - not just snobs! Lots of Links this time, we were all over the place: Wine for the Confused:
