A Queenstown brewery has put New Zealand on the global sake map for the first time. The country's first and only dedicated sake brewery has taken home a gold award for its handcrafted Drip Pressed Junmai Ginjo as part of the Tokyo Sake Challenge. Zenkuro Sake director Richard Ryall says this award comes as the brewery celebrates its 10-year anniversary. "It's been an amazing journey for us to reach this point - and 10 years has just flown past. But what a way to celebrate, with this fantastic award."

Episode 145. TippsySake.com is a well known online retailer of sake in the U.S. and when they launched their new Tippsy Sake Club in March, John and Timothy knew they had to check it out. To get started, Tippsy designed an interactive online quiz that walks you through a few questions to help identify the sakes that might be the best match for your palate. We decided to take the quiz in real time and then discuss the results with Tippsy Portfolio Manager Sachiko Miyagi. Sachiko walks us through the ideas behind the flavor profile quiz and how the whole club is set up.  The fun really begins when we get to taste the results of the quiz as we all share a sake recommended by the Tippsy algorithm to both John and Timothy.    Listen in to see if the sakes recommended by the Tippsy quiz garner high marks from the guys!    #SakeRevolutionSupport the show

Andy and Jim climb the mountains and explore the rice fields to get to the root of the “king” of sake rice, Yamadanishiki. We look at where it came from, why it got so big, and maybe express a wee bit of skepticism about those magical Hyogo rice fields. Vocabulary from this episode: Koji Haze - The distribution of koji over the surface of the rice grains. Kumamoto Kobo - The origin of Association Yeast #9, often called the “Ginjo yeast.” Nengo - The naming of eras in Japan based on the currently reigning emperor. Now, for example, we are in the Reiwa era, preceded by Heisei, and Showa before that.  Nishiki - Silk brocade. A word often used to denote something elegant and luxurious. Shinpakuritsu - The rate of starchy “white heart” appearance in a batch of rice, expressed as a percentage. Shuzokotekimai - The more official term for what we call sakamai, or rice well-suited to sake brewing. Tankanwataribune - One of Yamadanishiki's direct parents. “Tankan” means short stalk. Yamadaho - Another of Yamadanishiki's direct parents.  Toku A chiku - One of a few areas across two cities in northern Hyogo prefecture with reputations for growing high-grade Yamadanishiki rice. They are: Kato City - Yashiro, Tojo; Miki city - Yokawa Recommended Sake: Andy - Kikumasamune Gokujo Tokubetsu Honjozo Chotokusen Jim - Tatsuriki Junmai Dragon Episode 3  Our theme music is from Lotus Lane by The Loyalist - Preconceived Notions Available at https://soundcloud.com/preconceived-notions Used under a  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/lotus-lane Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/1YVHRMVwwHg 

Episode 139. If you enjoy the sound of ice cubes clinking in a glass, this may be the episode for you! This week, John and Timothy crack open the topic of sake on the rocks!  Pouring sake over ice may not be the norm, but it can be a treat with the right kind of sake... and the right kind of ice.  We'll experiment with tasting our higher alcohol genshu-style sake both on the rocks and straight up to see what works better along with the pros and cons of sake over ice. But all that is just the tip of the iceberg, so sit back, listen in and chill with us as we sip our sake on the rocks.    #SakeRevolutionSupport the show

Episode 98. What's on the menu this week? Well, Menus! Sake Menus, that is. We've all been there – Sitting in a restaurant, our server asking what we'd like to drink, staring at a sake menu and wondering what the heck to order. Sake menus come in all shapes and sizes and range from the helpful to the downright perplexing. The goal of any sake menu should be to help a customer easily find a sake they will love. And what makes a good sake menu? There is no one answer, but John and Timothy look at some real life examples of U.S. sake menus to see what is out there. (visit SakeRevolution.com to view them!) Some were actually fun to read and educated us along the way. Others were confusing and, let's say “graphic design challenged”.

Ginjo is king.Or at least, that's kind of been a mantra for several generations of more than a few sake lovers, makers, and advocates. Looking at the numbers in recent years, some have dubbed this the current era to be the era of junmai ginjo. (Straight-up ginjo has been faltering a bit, however).Sake classified in the ginjo stratum today aren't the same as that of yesteryear, and if the depictions of the style further permeating the market today are any indication, ginjo-classified sake will likely be a bit different tomorrow, as well. As the styles of ginjo-classified sake and other classifications evolve, we thought it would be worthwhile to remind ourselves (and listeners) exactly what it is we're talking about when we talk about ginjo.This week John Gauntner has brought Rebekah Wilson-Lye and Sebastien Lemoine to the party to discuss the above and a whole more. We hope you'll pour a glass of something ginjo-esque and join us. After listening, share with us your own ginjo-related experiences over on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook. When you're done with that, you can go ahead and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or your favorite listening service, as well. Any additional comments and questions can be sent to us at questions@sakeonair.staba.jp.We'll be back with more Sake On Air again before you know it.Until then, kampai!

Episode 91. This week we train our sake spotlight on another perennial favorite prefecture: Yamagata.  Quite rightly known as the "Ginjo Kingdom", Yamagata has one of the highest percentages of premium sake production of any prefecture in Japan.  The Yamagata Sake Brewer's Association has united the 50 breweries in the prefecture to focus their production, starting in the 1980s, on more aromatic, floral and fruity ginjo style sakes.  There is no better poster child for this than the popular Dewazakura Oka Ginjo sake which made its debut in 1980 and was one of the first brews to help shape the style of the new "Ginjo Kingdom".  Join us and listen in as we explore, study and taste the elegance of all things Yamagata ginjo. #sakerevolutionSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/sakerevolution)

Who else loves this sound? Sounds like good sake, right? But what is good sake? And do you know how to find good sake? Imagine you are at a restaurant or at a liquor shop or even on the Internet. Should I take Ginjo? Or should I go for Junmai? How are they different? Have you ever thought about that while facing a large selection of sake? If you have, don' worry. You'll have your question sorted today. Maybe some of you have never been in such a situation – because you have some favourite ones that you always go for. But don't you want to try other good sake too? I hope the answer is yes! And the worst case? … is removing sake from your options because you are not sure about what to start with! I hope you didn't give up. But even if you did, it's not too late to try it now. Because today you'll gain some good knowledge on how to select good sake and enjoy it better. To do that, I'm so honoured to have John Gauntner -- aka the sake guy -- on my show. He has been writing and lecturing about sake for longer than any other English-speaking experts of sake would have – in fact for almost 30 years. He is certified as both a Sake Expert Assessor and a Master of Sake Tasting, meaning that he is the only non-Japanese person to hold these two certifications in the world.

Episode 85. The holidays are here and gift giving is high on the to-do list for a lot of us. One thing that we love to give and receive is, of course, a bottle of sake. But before you pull the trigger there are a number of considerations when giving sake. John and Timothy discuss what types of sake work well for what occasions and how you can dress up a bottle of sake with a stylish “furoshiki” or include a sake cup or carafe along with the bottle. Not sure if your friend is a friend of sake? Reach for our “Crowd Pleaser” sake recommendation which will warm the heart of even the most grinchy-est grinch on your holiday list. A sake with a unique production method or high end design to the packaging is excellent for your recipients who already love sake and will help them dive deeper into their new hobby. So, whether the folks on your list have been naughty or nice, a gift of premium sake is sure to fit the bill!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/sakerevolution)

In this episode of Sake Deep Dive, Jim and Andy take a look at Ginjo--the word, the sake, and the significance. We hope people learn that there's more to it than just milling ratios, and see just how important Hiroshima is to the modern conception of this “scrutinized” brewing method. Remember, ginjo is good, but it's not everything! Recommended sake in this episode Andrew: Fukucho Hattanso Ginjo, Imada Shuzo Honten, Hiroshima Ippakusuisei, Fukurokuju Shuzo, Akita Jim: Kankiko Chiisana Yorokobi, Sawada Shuzo, Nara Useful vocabulary from this episode 吟味する ginmi suru - to thoroughly scrutinize, investigate, or savor.

We are talking the smooth, creamy and cloudy Kamoizumi Ginjo Nigori. Who doesn't love a sake that pairs with chocolate cookies that are bigger than a hockey puck? Scott also explains some of the sake adventures he has had with Tim including a trans-pacific sake cruise and surviving the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake that struck 20 minutes before their Japan vacation was set to begin. There's a lot to explore and a few laughs along the way. And if you're not in the mood for sake, just tell 'em you'd like a Manhattan instead.

Season 1. Episode 22. First comes love, then comes… sake? What is it like to marry a hardcore sake nerd? This week we go right to the source and interview our Host John Puma’s Better Half, the lovely Myshell! She takes us behind the scenes and gives us the lowdown on a live steeped in sake and the secret advantage of a sake-nerd spouse… you get to skip the jet fuel sake and leap ahead right to the good stuff. Myshell also brings one of her favorite sakes to the table for the boys to drink: her long time favorite, the rich and robust Narutotai Ginjo Nama Genshu. Whatever you do, just don’t call it the “oil can sake”. We also learn Myshell’s game plan for finding sake bars that are off the beaten path in tokyo. Afterall – “What’s the worst that could happen?” Suffice to say that Myshell has developed her own sake palate and preferences. and If anyone ever asks you if you want to try a taste of “crazy sake” be sure to say “I Do”!

Season 1, Episode 5. For every yin there is a yang, for every sunrise a sunset and for every Junmai sake classification, there is a Non-Junmai classification. Alcohol added sake is referred to generally as "aruten" style sake. Just as we have 3 grades of premium sake for the Junmai "pure rice" styles, we have three grades of premium sake for the alcohol added styles. In this episode we take a deep dive into understanding the alcohol added classifications including a tasting of two different aruten styles. Along the way, we discover we may indeed be living in a golden age of sake. And it goes without saying that the sake glass is half full. Everyone knows that sake always finds a way.

Clean Chinese Food and Runaway Pigs It’s 2019 and people still use food to perpetuate racist stereotypes. Food blogger and nutritionist Arielle Haspel opened up “Lucky Lee’s” a “clean” Chinese Restaurant named after her husband. I personally don’t have a problem with someone opening up a restaurant serving food from ethnicities or cultures not their own, as long as they respect it. Haspel is not respecting Chinese culture by playing into awful stereotypes about Chinese Food being greasy and making you feel bloated. Don’t even get me started on MSG. In the ’50s and ’60s, Chinese Restaurants were incredibly popular, but never considered fine dining because of negative stereotypes. Putting up Instagram posts saying that your food has less oil than traditional Chinese Food is like putting up a post saying “Our chicken is real chicken, not cat like other Chinese restaurants” Also, this place is only open from 11-3 so its barely a restaurant. In other news Princess, the Pig escaped her pen in Humboldt County, California. A neighbor posted a photo on Facebook, and the local police were able to figure out who the owner was. They went to a neighbors house to ask him to watch Princess while they tracked down her owners. The neighbor obliged, but when the police got back to the home, the neighbor was in the front yard butchering Princess. R.I.P Princess the Pig, we hardly knew ye. Tipping is Stupid and Unfair, but Completely Necessary Finance Giant CNBC ran this article in February, but it went viral this week. With a clickbaity title like”This Tipping Trip Can Save You Up To $400 A Year”, of course, I knew not to expect anything good, and would probably walk away angry. Long story short, to save you the click and not give them the web traffic, the author says that it is socially acceptable to tip on the pre-tax total instead of the post-tax total and he is correct but just because he is correct doesn’t mean he is right. People, customers, guests, whatever you would like to call them don’t tip on service. They tip on personality, how they connect with their server, and a million other tiny little things. All this author did was take money out of servers pockets. This article will not turn any pre-tax tippers into post-tax tippers but will have people think that they are saving money(You just spent $100 on dinner, tipping $20 instead of $22 isn’t going to save anything) Tipping is a necessary evil though. I definitely come from a place of privilege for what I am about to say. I’m a Tall Cis-Het White Male who has only worked at Upscale Casual/Fine Dining establishments. Every place I’ve ever worked at had a check average of $50-$100 per person, and people tip me between 18 and 20 percent. I love working for tips because I live in a place where people tip well, and I am a person that statistically speaking, people like to give money to. If you live in a small town and work at a chain restaurant that gets people in by serving them 3 courses for $10, tips are everything to you. That fifty cents you get from a table tipping post-tax might be what actually keeps you above zero this week. Server wage is $2.13/hr in most places, which means after taxes you are working strictly for tips. I can go deep into serving actually being skilled labor, and how most people reading this cannot do what my team is able to do. Every dinner is a symphony that I’m conducting, and much like a conductor, all I can do is tell my orchestra what to do and hope they execute it correctly. If your food comes out wrong, give the restaurant a chance to fix it before you decide you now aren’t going to tip. If you ask a female server for her number and she says no and you don’t tip, you’re a garbage person. Lastly, if you actually want to save money, learn to cook and dine out less. The best way to learn to cook is to keep following us on Instagram and Twitter and asking us questions about recipes, techniques, and anything else you can think of food wise. A Guide to Sake with Zak Gross Sake Expert Zak Gross joined us in the studio this week to talk all this Sake. Zak is a partner of Soto Sake, a newer sake brand that is taking the US by storm. It is an incredibly smooth and affordable Junmai Daiginjo. Essentially everything I know about sake I learned from Zak. We worked together at Sen Sakana and he made sure to teach me everything I needed to know and then some. I still occasionally text him questions and he always gets back to me and explains his answer thoroughly. Zak started serving at a very popular Japanese Restaurant in Hollywood, California and decided he would separate himself from the other servers by learning about sake and being able to upsell expensive bottles. His sake knowledge allowed him to go work at top Japanese restaurants all over LA and NYC. He eventually became the head bartender at Shuko and then worked with as the Beverage Director at Sen Sakana. Sake 101 There are two ways to categorize sake Purity: Junmai: Roughly translates to “Pure” this classification means that this sake was made only with Water, Yeast, Rice, and Koji. The rice milling can be at 70% for it to be called Junmai, but can also be a prefix for Ginjo and Daiginjo, hence Soto Sake being a Junmai Daiginjo. If sake does not have the Junmai label it means that the brewer decided to add a small amount of neutral spirit to the sake. Milling: Honjozo: This is the most popular classification of sake in Japan. It is the minimum amount of polishing at 70%. I like to try a brewery’s Honjozo before I try anything else because if it is good, the rest of their sake will most likely be good Ginjo: Rice with a polishing rate of 60% or less, a cleaner sake compared to Honjozo Daiginjo: Rice with a polishing rate of 50% or less, the highest quality sake

We’ve got a new twist on an old formula this week.   In the interest of fairness, after having done a Shochu 101 episode, we thought it only made sense to give Sake the same treatment.   However, unlike Shochu, the “basics” of sake have been well-treaded in many forms across books, videos, blogs, lectures and other media. It didn’t make sense for us to just rehash the same material that’s already readily available just about everywhere. While we want to provide our listeners with a solid foundation of the core principles surrounding Sake and Shochu, digging deeper in order to provide context and stimulate dialogue is why this show exists. So, we thought we’d mix it up a little.   John has been on the road a great deal as of late (as of always?) and we wanted to get him on air. When we talked about doing a Sake 101, it was something that he really wanted to be a part of. When he offered to provide a monologue outlining the fundamentals, we naturally said, Yoroshiku! This is a master in his wheelhouse – what more could we ask for?   With that, this week you get the core basics outlined by the best in the business. You want to scout out a tasty bottle of sake that you’ll be happy with today? We’ve got you covered.   But we wanted to do something for our listeners who already feel comfortable with the “basics”, providing a bit more food-for-thought. So, what we’ve done this week is break John’s brilliant monologue into segments, with the Sake On Air team jumping in at regular intervals to flesh out the details, ask deeper questions, and provide further context for why the various points that John has laid out are significant.   In addition to John Gauntner’s pre-recorded presence, three core members of the SOA crew, Chris Hughes, Sebastien Lemoine, and Justin Potts, are very lucky to be joined this week by Sarasa Suzuki, who is a WSET Sake Educator, as well as wine and spirits specialist here in Japan, also serving as the Japan brand manager for CAMUS Cognac. She was kind enough to put up with our shenanigans this week as she brings her experience and insight to the important topics that we delve into for this week’s show. Lucky us, and lucky you! (She’ll be making an appearance in a future episode to be released soon, as well!)   Our listeners may have a few thoughts and opinions about the content of this week’s episode. Great! Send those to us at questions@sakeonair.com   You can stay up-to-date on what’s happening with the show by following along on Instagram, Twitter (@sakeonair) and Facebook, as well.   If you can find a moment in your busy schedule,  a quick review on your favorite listening service would really mean a lot.   Thanks to Frank Walter for the time he put into making this one shine. It wasn’t an easy task.   Sake On Air is made possible with the generous support of the Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association and is a joint production between Potts.K Productions and Export Japan.   Until our next outing, Kampai!   Show Notes: 6:07 What is Sake? 9:02 Sake and the Family of Brewed Beverages 10:30 Brewing Beer vs. Brewing Sake; Clarifying “Koji” 10:46 The History of Sake 22:02 What’s the fuss about Ginjo? 22:50 Good Sake and Better Sake 31:57 Relationship Between Price and Quality: Sake Rice 38:33 Relationship Between Price and Quality: Rice Milling & Special Designation Sake 45:13 The Blood, Sweat and Tears of Sake Brewing and the Tenuous Hierarchy System 48:02 Sake Service Temperature 51:52 Storing Sake and Aging Sake 56:18 Drinking Vessels 61:50 Sake and Food 65:25 John Gauntner’s “Basics for Enjoying Sake Today” (uncut from start to finish)

Experimental Beer-Experimental beers are any beers that are primarily grain-based and employ unique and unusual techniques and/or ingredients.-By definition, beers which represent a combination of two or more existing categories and exhibit distinctive characteristics of each of those categories would also be categorized as Experimental Beers. -For example, combining an Imperial IPA (high hop aroma, lighter color and high ABV) with a Stout (low hop aroma, darker color and lower ABV) – Imperial IPA Stout-Uniqueness is the primary consideration when evaluating this category.-Color, Clarity, Aroma, Hop Aroma/Bitterness, Body and ABV varies-Beara Brewing Co. – we brew a Double IPA called Outer Limits with Galaxy hops – connected with Outer Limits Hot Sauce in NJ and interviewed Ed Martin, Owner of Outer Limits Hot Sauce (https://www.outerlimitshotsauce.com/) in Episode 17 – we infused their Lime Jalepeno Hot Sauce into our OL DIPA and it came out great – combination of DIPA with Chilli beer - should enter that into GABF next yearSubcategory: Ginjo Beer or Sake-Yeast Beer-These beers are brewed with sake yeast or sake (koji) enzymes.

Wild Beers may not be fermented with any cultured strains of yeast or bacteria.-The most notable producers of wild ales called either Belgium or Germany-Yeast is all around you in the air, and the method of spontaneous fermentation captures that yeast and uses it to ferment beer.-Wild Beers may or may not be perceived as acidic. They may include a highly variable spectrum of flavors and aromas derived from the wild microorganisms with which they are fermented.-Allagash in Maine built a CoolShip where they pump wort (sugar water) into a massive container and just let natural yeast in air ferment it-I connected with Jason Perkins who is the Brewmaster at Allagash in Maine and I’m hoping to have him on the show in the New Year-Color: Any color is acceptable.-Clarity: Clear or hazy due to yeast, chill haze or hop haze.-Malt Aroma – Generally, these beers have very low to low malt character.-Hop Aroma and Flavor and Bitterness – Very low to high-Body: Very low to medium-ABV: 8.5%-12.2%-Glassware for Experimental Beer: Belgian style or tulip glassExamples courtesy of BeerAdvocate (https://www.beeradvocate.com)Ginjo Beer or Sake-Yeast Beer ExamplesSakitumi | Lagunitas Brewing CompanyAlcohol by volume (ABV): 9.00% Extra Dry Sake Style Saison Ale | Stillwater Artisanal AlesAlcohol by volume (ABV): 4.20%Subscribe to Craft Beer Storm Podcast iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/craft-beer-storm/id1438117278?mt=2Michael Potorti is the Host of Craft Beer Storm and Founder/Brewer at Beara Brewing Co. in Portsmouth, NHMichael PotortiFounder/BrewerHost of "Craft Beer Storm" Podcastmichael@craftbeerstorm.commichael@bearairishbrew.com*** Come visit our brewery for some delicious local craft brew! ***Beara Brewing Co.2800 Lafayette RoadPortsmouth, NH 03801Tel.
