Our guest is Daniel Bennett who is the sake sommelier at Sushi-san www.sushisanrestaurant.com and The Omakase Room at Sushi-san www.theomakaseroom.com in Chicago.  Both are a part of Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants, which is an independent, family-owned restaurant group that owns, manages and licenses more than 110 restaurants nationwide with over 60 concepts ranging from fast casual to fine dining. Daniel is a certified sake sommelier and has approximately 15 years of deep experience working in Japanese food and sake. In this episode, we will discuss how he built his career in sake, what types of sake people are drinking in America now, his collaboration with a 200-year-old sake brewery to make a private label for his guests, how he trains his staff to get certified as sake sommeliers and much, much more!!!

Our guest is Kumiko Hashimoto who grew up in the family of the 200-year-old sake brewery in Osaka.  She now plays a key role at Dojima Sake Brewery https://fordhamabbey.co.uk/ near Cambridge in the U.K., which the family founded in 2018. Dojima Sake Brewery is the first sake brewery in the U.K.  It is known not just for the quality of sake it produces but the scale of the project.  The property is set in a historic, approximately 75-acre garden and pastureland.  And its sake is priced far above the regular premium sake for a good reason. In this episode, we will discuss why the traditional sake brewery family decided to undertake such a huge, ambitious project, the joy and challenges of producing sake in Britain, the important mission of Dojima Sake Brewery for the entire sake industry and much, much more!!!

Our guest is John Gauntner who is one of the world's leading non-Japanese sake experts and educators.  He has been writing and lecturing about sake since 1994, in various newspapers and magazines in Japan and overseas. He has published six books on sake across two languages, and hundreds of articles on the topic.  Several times each year, he runs the Sake Professional Course, a week-long intensive sake study course, held both in and outside of Japan, as well as the advanced level of that course. John joined us in Episode 25 in December 2015 and discussed his intriguing path to becoming a sake expert, why sake was gaining popularity in the world, how to get to know more about sake and many other topics. Sake has become popular globally over the last decades but we tend to think that sake is something to drink only at Japanese restaurants.  However, more non-Japanese restaurants are serving sake, including new American restaurants Michelin-starred Per Se, Blue Hill At Stone Barns and Eleven Madison Park in New York. In this episode, we will discuss food pairings, in particular sake and non-Japanese food!!!

Our guest is Timothy Sullivan who is the Director of Education and lead instructor at the Sake Studies Center at Brooklyn Kura. He has over 16 years of experience teaching about sake, and in 2007 he was awarded the prestigious title of Sake Samurai by the Japan Sake Brewers Association. Since 2013, Tim has served as the Global Brand Ambassador for Hakkaisan Sake Brewery. He has played a pivotal role in developing and advancing the American sake industry.In this episode, we will discuss how the Japanese sake industry has been reviving solidly thanks to sake ambassadors and educators like Tim, how the American sake industry has been powerfully developing, what types of sake to drink now, how you can gain knowledge of sake to make the most of your precious glass, and much, much more!!!Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

It feels like only the very recent past when opportunities for more formal sake education and certifications were few and far between, and when they were available, they were often infrequent and hosted in only a handful of territories, which made learning from knowledgeable industry insiders and professionals relatively prohibitive for most of the world's growing number of sake-curious. Thankfully offerings from formalized organizations and institutions expanded, and a handful of ambitious sake pioneers helped increase both the frequency and quality of these much-needed places and spaces.This week's guest, however, not only positioned himself on the front lines of the sake education movement as a certified instructor of the WSET sake curriculum while raising the bar for service night-in and night-out as the Beverage Director of Ki Modern Japanese + Bar in Toronto, he also established the world's first core curriculum and certification focusing on the regional qualities of Japanese Sake with the Sake Scholar Course. His extensive travel throughout Japan and relentless dedication to furthering the depth of knowledge available to sake professionals led to him being anointed a Sake Samurai in 2018. In 2022 he (literally) wrote the book on sake, together with Nancy Matsumoto, providing the world with the James Beard Foundation Award-winning (and fantastic), Exploring Craft Sake: Rice, Water, Earth.This week we're thrilled to welcome one of the world's leading sake educators, Michael Tremblay, as he joins Justin Potts to discuss the nature of teaching, studying, learning, and growing together with the ever-expanding sake-inspired community around the world.If you'd like to follow along with Michael's tireless endeavors you can catch him @mtrsake or @sakescholarcourse. If you have some of your own sake (or shochu) education experiences that you'd like to share with us here at Sake On Air, you can do so on Instagram, X, or Facebook, and you can reach us all directly with your thoughts or questions at questions@sakeonair.com.

Our guest is Yoshiki Yukimachi, the 6th generation brewmaster of Takeno Brewery in Kyoto. Founded in 1947, Takeno Brewery is known for its high-quality sake as well as its innovative mindset. Yoshiki's father, Yoshihei Yukimachi, initiated the transformation of the brewery's strategy and introduced unique products under the Kurabu brand, which features ancient sake rice. Also, Yoshiki has produced creative products and put Takeno Brewery's name on the map in the global market. Recently, the domestic Japanese sake market has been shrinking due to a number of reasons, including the aging population in Japan and the increase in competing products. Despite this, sake exports have been record-high in recent years, thanks to the efforts and inventive mindsets of sake producers like Takeno Brewery. In this episode, we will discuss Takeno Brewery's unique sake-making philosophy, the award-winning sake that the brewery makes with rare sake rice varieties, the pioneering ways of tasting sake that Takeno Brewery offers at its sake bar, how Yoshiki merges deep traditions and innovative ideas in his products, and much, much more!!!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.09.14.507940v1?rss=1 Authors: Haghipanah, M., Saadat, M., Safarbalou, A., Budde, T., Mohamed, W., Sadat Afraz, E., Moradikor, N. Abstract: Chronic stress during the pre-pubertal period has adverse effects in developing neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety. The administration of supplements with antioxidant properties may alleviate depression and anxiety behavior. This study investigated the effects of oral supplementation of Japanese sake yeast on anxiety, depressive-like symptoms, oxidative stress, and changes in brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) in adolescence rats subjected to chronic stress. In order to assess the effects of chronic stress, adolescent rats were grouped into one non-stressed control group (non-stress) and four different experimental groups. The other animals were subjected to stress and orally received normal saline (Control-stress), 15 mg/kg yeast (Stress-15), 30 mg/kg yeast (Stress-30) and 45 mg/kg yeast (Stress-45). Anxiety and depression-like behavior, BDNF levels, and oxidative stress markers were evaluated. The rats exposed to stress exhibited anxiogenic and depression-like behavior as well as lower levels of BDNF and higher levels of oxidative markers compared with non-stressed rats (P less than 0.05). However, the oral supplementation of sake yeast decreased anxiogenic and depression-like behavior and oxidative indices, and also increased BDNF levels compared to stressed rats treated with saline in a dose-dependent manner (P less than 0.05). In sum, stress caused anxiety and depression behavior, increased oxidative indices, and reduced BDNF levels while sake yeast alleviated adverse effects of stress on anxiety and depression behaviors, decreased oxidative markers, and increased BDNF levels.

Welcome to our fifth, T-Time Tuesdays with Tiffany, alongside one of the team members, Minami. This has been a space where we chit chat about our past episodes, events that have caught our attention and updates on future projects. Firstly, we would like to thank our listener, Kristine, for the wonderful review as she found a much needed reminder to not view her small wins as selfish but rather a much needed form of self love. Going back, we began with opening the conversation like most do, about the weather.  We then jump to an interesting article that caught our eye from about how the Japanese government is launching a “Sake Viva!” campaign in hopes to have the youth buying more alcohol to boost the shrinking industry. We share various comments and concerns around the topic of  alcoholism and alcohol in Japan. Tiffany shares her experience and sheds light to speculations of the culture in Japan between drinking and opening up, alongside her journey towards sobriety. We hope you found the topic as fascinating as we did. Lastly, we would love to hear from you as to what you think about the T-Time Tuesday series. Are there any stories that relate to you in what we talked about? What would you like for us to cover in the future?  Thank you for your support and joining us! Review Of The Day ~ Kristine Ohkubo @FacebookListen to previous episode mentioned: EPISODE 33: The Power Of Celebrating Small Wins ~ https://www.tiffanyrossdale.com/podcast/episode/4b281f13/the-power-of-celebrating-small-winsEPISODE 110: How To Deal With Rejections? ~ https://www.tiffanyrossdale.com/podcast/episode/79c2d767/how-to-deal-with-rejections BBC News Article: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-62585809 For questions, requests, collaborations and comments, feel free to reach us via our e-mail ~ breakfastwithtiffanyshow@outlook.com Leave our podcast a review, comment and ratings;Spotify ~ https://open.spotify.com/show/52ySZU9QRQOkkCfM2pJaiz?si=96fc6105f4e44a93Podchaser ~ https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/breakfast-with-tiffany-show-1346455Apple Podcast ~ https://podcasts.apple.com/jp/podcast/breakfast-with-tiffany-show/id1524300778If you scroll down on the provided link above on Apple Podcast, you will find the rating section that will appear further below.Breakfast With Tiffany Show Official Page ~ https://www.tiffanyrossdale.com/podcast Breakfast With Tiffany Show Official Facebook Page ~ https://www.facebook.com/breakfastwithtiffanyshow Subscribe to our Official YouTube channel ~ https://bit.ly/3vIVzhE If you find this episode valuable to you, consider a minute to support the podcast by buying us plenty of tea or through the support Paypal link.

Our guest is Genki Ito, who is the founder of Tippsy Sake, an online store that specializes in Japanese sake, based in California. Japanese sake has been increasingly popular globally in recent years and the US is one of the most promising markets for the sake industry. For example, between 2011 to 2021, the value of Japanese sake export to the US tripled, and its quantity doubled, according to the Japanese government's statistics. In other words, Americans are drinking not only more sake but also higher-quality sake than 10 years ago. But if you live in America, you normally have to go to Japanese restaurants to discover great sake, partly because your local liquor shop doesn't carry good enough sake for you (or sells no sake at all), or the store does not have anyone who can give you solid advice on which one to buy.Tipssy Sake is a nice solution for the problem by making Japanese sake more readily available to everyone from sake novices to connoisseurs. In this episode, we will discuss how Genki's unique background led him to come up with the successful business concept, what types of Japanese sake people are drinking right now in America, how COVID-19 dramatically boosted Tippsy Sake's business, and much, much more!!!Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

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.

Our guests are Mark Isbell and Chris Isbell of Isbell Farms in Arkansas. Isbell Farms has always been forward-minded and played an important role as a strong supporter of the American sake industry. It is a multi-generational family farm with a focus on the sustainable production of quality rice. And also, Isbell is the first American farm that produced Sakamai, which means Japanese rice varieties developed specifically for sake production. There are approximately 25 sake breweries in the U.S. and it is very exciting to see that the number has been increasing. These breweries often use Calrose rice, which is table rice, because sake rice is not readily available in this country. While Calrose has proven to be a right variety to produce high-quality sake, there is a solid demand for sake rice among American brewers. In this episode, we will discuss how a family farm in Arkansas started to grow Japanese rice, the types of sake rice they grow, a pioneering sake rice variety they have developed, and much, much more!!!  Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

He joined us already twice in Episodes 32 and 100. John is also a sake expert and the founder of Sake Notes, which is a fascinating website all about sake. You may have tried sake and started to like it, but aren't sure how to move on to the next step of discovering the fantastic and profound Japanese national beverage. In this episode, we will discuss how you can proactively explore Japanese sake. Also, Tim and John brought a special sake, so they will teach us how to taste sake as well! Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Sommelier Wayne Shennen is a Certified Sommelier and the first New Zealander to achieve certification as an Advanced Sake Professional. Wayne has worked in hospitality in Australia and New Zealand since 2002. And in 2019, Wayne and his Japanese wife, Makie, relocated to Japan to open a sake and wine bar, Rangitoto Tokyo.The venture seemed well timed to capitalise on the Rugby World Cup and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, but Wayne and Makie could never have predicted that ‘other' global event.Wayne is also the author of the e-book, Demystifying Sake, which you can find on Amazon, and he has worked in sake breweries in Ishikawa, Saga, and Gifu prefectures.On a mission to get more New Zealand and Australian wines into the hands of Japanese wine buffs, Wayne is also passionate about raising sake's undervalued reputation as the stuff of dodgy Hollywood binges (Tom Cruise has a lot to answer for).I asked him how Japanese sake piqued his interest such that he came to devote his career to the beverage.

Andrew Russell is the founder of Origin Sake. Originally from Scotland, he got his MA Honors in Japanese History at Edinburgh University and as a part of that course came to research Sake in Japan for a year. He now works as a Kurabito at Imada Shuzo with Toji Miho Imada in Hiroshima, Japan. https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXBtODRkRGN4cWNTMDEzczNvYldNZnZqU2tzQXxBQ3Jtc0tuMnFWNTdnM2NZeEd4YjVMeUtXbFVubXJEMzNsaDhJeWFCaERENGpYNGVsM2J2TW1mai1mRmNtdmc4V2hTZFItSXhWOHBVWFhEOUo5OGg3Q2R2ZkdGWE1TVjNwbjNER2ZEdGlPUlMxVVltTWtnWVVhNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.originsake.com%2F (https://www.originsake.com/) * JOIN the Seeking Sustainability Live Supporters ** ~HAPPS~ https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmoydEVVSWhIWWt2OWwwT29IazVlRmVPVEdHUXxBQ3Jtc0tudi0yRDJtVTNhZkdDWTZIdFFHUnVGRlI1VUJnVVhIb0ljVlBmMi15aWRRTjdxRkNxRzZFcm9nc3o1dUV4RHk0V3g0YlVfTkp3UFQwSmZ6V29mdXluT1FURVpHVFplUnE0WGNxb1ZROEdJSkY2eEUzTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fhapps.tv%2Finvite%2F%40JJWalsh%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B (https://happs.tv/invite/@JJWalsh​​)​ ~BuyMeACoffee~ https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbldMazlyZjZlN0M3OFh6cDJKeVBvZXZVLVk0UXxBQ3Jtc0tuZWRoUFFQdVJUdU9TZDZ6TUNEbHU3azJNak0yNTlfbWFURlExTk9zRENKOFpza3d2SDBJT21nSzliSlFYYXNQU0dRZVNlT2IwaHhSNGotSEVsbmFOb0pZb1NTbm02YkdKQkVfV1BqaUY1NDhvRk5HZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.buymeacoffee.com%2Fjjwalsh%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jjwalsh​​)​ ~Patreon~ https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa29WZ2pLTHBqd2x5djJCQUZvS1Z0WjJHTlBpZ3xBQ3Jtc0ttR2k3LVFRd0QtTU5ZSWVsNnJLYzlxT2hzbjc4Vm82bEpOUXlBSnRPNENYdndHWVB6Wkh0MXJCM3hON1d1a29aSkRoQW1kVzZmNncyOXFGMVdvSHRPNkNOWTg3dWZ4cDNUTWtQbGdtTkU1WWFaU2JwYw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.patreon.com%2Fjjwalsh%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B (https://www.patreon.com/jjwalsh​​) JOIN the support team on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbjRdeieOLGes008y_I9y5Q/join (YouTube Memberships ) SoundCloud sourced BGM thanks to Hikosaemon Support this podcast

Season 1. Episode 32. This week, Timothy and John connect with a special guest for an interview and tasting. Brian Ashcraft is a well known writer focusing on the subjects of video games and Japanese culture. His most recent publication is The Japanese Sake Bible: Everything You Need to Know About Great Sake (With Tasting Notes and Scores for Over 100 Top Brands). It's a marvelous book that takes you deep into the world of sake without being too technical or boring. Every chapter has individual stories to highlight the topic or area being discussed. As one would hope, the last section of the book is a tasting guide to over 100 kinds of sake with tasting notes and pictures of the bottles. Not all the featured sakes are available in the USA, but there are enough to make it really worthwhile. Sake nerds finally have a Bible of their own - Amen to that!

I’ll start this episode off by letting you know that because I geeked out so much on the topic I felt it best to split this into a 2-part show.

Just wetting your palate on some Sake knowledge. What is Daiginjo? What is Honjozo? What can sake hold up to and pair with? Before diving into Sake 101, this is a little teaser to give you a feel for Japanese Sake.

In this episode we're diving back into the world of Japanese sake, which we explored in the very first episode of Season One.This time I've got two interviews to share with you from my time in Japan earlier this year doing a sake press tour with the Japanese Sake & Shochu Makers Association.First up is a chat with John Gauntner, who is recognised as the world's leading non-Japanese sake expert.A resident of Japan since 1988, he has been writing and lecturing about sake since 1994 and has published six books on the topic.Next up, I visited the Japanese Sake & Shochu Makers Association Information Centre in Tokyo where I sat down for a chat with the centre manager, Shuso Imada.Shuso has spent almost his entire life in the sake industry - he was born into a family that owns a sake brewery.At first he had little interest in following in his family's footsteps, so much so that he did the unthinkable and study a sommelier equivalent qualification in wine.But little by little, sake drew him back in. And as you would expect for someone of his experience, he has some really interesting insights into Japanese sake industry.And if you're heading to Tokyo, I highly recommend you visit the JSS Information Centre, it really is one of the best places you can taste a lot of sake and learn about it.I also want to recommend John Gauntner's excellent book, Sake Confidential - I bought a copy last year and it's a fantastic introductory resource for sake beginners.And finally, also for people visiting Japan, look out for Rangitoto Tokyo. It's a brand new bar in Tokyo opened by Wayne Shennen, a sommelier from New Zealand who also has a passion for sake.Follow James Atkinson on Facebook here, Instagram here and Twitter here.Theme music ‘Sandbox’ by Rudists.

If you haven't yet discovered the delights of Japanese sake, now is the time to add it to your drinking repertoire.Cast aside any preconceptions you may have of that cheap and nasty stuff served hot in Aussie-Japanese restaurants.Premium Japanese sake is every bit as rich in heritage, sophistication and complexity as fine wine, and it is a superior match for many cuisines.Australian visitation to Japan continues to increase and with that, growing numbers of us are looking to enjoy fine Japanese food and drink on our return.The increased interest in Japanese sake has driven the growth of exports to Australia, which is now the second fastest growing market for Japanese sake worldwide.Eighteen sake breweries recently participated in a sake showcase and masterclass in Sydney organised by Japanese trade authorities, attended by the local restaurant trade.Drinks Adventures attended to find out a bit more about what makes sake unique. We spoke with leading sake brewers and local champions of Japanese sake including Yukino Ochiai of De Ja Vu Sake, Melbourne restaurateur Andre Bishop and Sakeshop founder Leigh Hudson.Music credits:Cameo Culture - SandboxCameo Culture - FrancoisHigh Highs - Glamorous Party (Cameo Culture Remix)Bad Snacks - MizukiAll other Drinks Adventures episodes, show notes, transcripts and many helpful links are available on the podcast website, DrinksAdventures.com.au, and you can email me at hello@drinksadventures.com.au.Follow James Atkinson on Facebook here, Instagram here and Twitter here.Theme music ‘Sandbox’ by Cameo Culture.
