We’re BAAAACK! Episode 97 - Buster Rhino’s, Toronto Gourmet Food & Wine Expo and Guu Izakaya
We apologize for our long absence - things are finally starting to settle down for us, so hopefully we'll be able to go back to at least a monthly show schedule.
Sorry this episode came so late after the actual events, but better late then never, right? ;)

Ep 84 - Saké and Oishinbo
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!
