Podcast appearances and mentions of lee reeve

Once again we dive into the inspiring international scene, this time learning all about cider in Japan thanks to our guest Lee Reeve, @inciderjapan. We talk through Japan's cider beginnings in the 1950s, its modern movement that began around 2017 and the different styles, makers, places and inspirations behind modern Japanese cider. From French-style keeves to English bittersweets, from Fuji apples to wild indigenous varieties found in the mountain forests, there's so much going on here to explore.  Lee also talks us through his journey importing the best of English, French, American, Norwegian and Australian cider to Japan, and how cider is gaining a foothold in a country with such a strong and historic drinks tradition. Shoutouts to producers including @kamoshika_cidre @vinvie.jp @sonofthesmithhardcider and @marukame_farm_cidery Thanks for all the messages you've been sending – keep them coming to albert@cidervoice.com. We love hearing from the 12 of you.

An Apology? By a Cider Judge Busted! I am the cider judge who has been holding onto a memory from nearly 20 years ago. At that time there were very few commercial makers of cider and in turn there were very few entries into competitions. The apology stems from my time back then when I was one of the rare cider judges here in the states, thinking I knew something about cider. Looking back now I keep repeating the same phrase - "I wish I knew then, What I know now... about cider." The competition was called the Great International Beer & Cider Competition, but honestly I don't think cider was even included in the name in 2003 or 2004.  Despite that, we had three ciders to judge and likely 300+ beers. Why an Apology? Up to that point I had only tasted cider made here in the states. Despite having 10 years of experience with cider, I had no idea what a Normandy apple or cider tasted like. UK ciders were definitely not a thing in the US and are only recently becoming more available. It is only more recently that I had the pleasure of traveling to Asturias and experiencing Sidra. This has led me to believe that: A cider judge needs to not only drink a lot of cider, but also travel to the location where it is made to taste both the cider and the juice from which that cider is made. It is all about the Juice! The Billionaire's Apology For years I knew that I had misjudged that cider back in the early 2000s and that became even more acutely true for me as I began to travel to Europe and taste the makers products at the site where they are made. Thus, when I got the opportunity to talk to the man who owned the brand "Hard Core" and to absolve myself from that misjudging I jumped at the chance. Hard Core was launched  in 1997 and lasted up to 2011. It was under the umbrella of the Boston Beer Company which was founded by Jim Koch in 1984. I met Jim Koch this past June of 2021 and took that opportunity to apologize. Once down, I felt an immense about of relief, because I know that a cidery really relies on the words of judges, especially at a time when there were so few cideries. But I won't say that it didn't feel totally great, especially when he told me that they were importing French and Italian apples for the Hard Core brand. That news compounded the sense of my misjudging even further again...if I knew then what I knew now I know I would have judged that cider differently. Lesson learned from the Apology Cider judges need to travel more to the producers or regions where the product is made. Taste the juice of a single varietal apple or a blend - get to know the difference of that apple being grown in one region vs another. Once you have tasted the juice then taste the cider. This step will help the judge fully realize the full potential of where the cider came from and where it can go. It will open nuances that would otherwise not be detected. All makers should offer juice at their cideries!

The Orchard Mystery Series is written by author Sheila Connolly who passed away in April of 2020. This episode 229 is dedicated to her for taking readers on a journey into the orchards of western Massachusetts, where this series takes place. The first book in the Orchard Series is titled One Bad Apple (2008). There are a total of 12 books with the last one Nipped in the Bud being published in 2018. The main character is Meg Corey, who moves from Boston to western Mass to a town that she makes up, but I think it might be Granby or Belchertown. As she takes on a project of renovating an old house, she keeps finding bodies on her land which also has an old orchard! Locals to this region and even visitors to Franklin County CiderDays will find lots of references to beloved spots in the Pioneer Vally. A few years back, she bought a cottage in County Cork, Ireland. There are 8 books in the County Cork Mystery Series. Which leads up to one of the two Audio Snap Shots on this episode. The first snap shot is from Lee Reeve of InCiderJapan who shares updates on the cider in Japan. Plus the new on the Summer edition of this bilingual (English and Japanese) magazine. This issue features James Forbes of Little Pomona's visit to Japan. Back to Ireland, we hear from Barry Walsh with an update on Killahora Orchards Cider. This award winning cidery was featured on episode 157 Barry not only makes cider with his cousin and family in Cork, but also is a fine singer. He first shared a tune with us on that episode 157 and so I asked if he would do so again for this episode 229. Barry obliged by playing a tune called the Rocky Road To Dublin. What continues to amaze me is the small world happenstances that keep taking place around orchards and cider. Sheila Connolly's book is based in West Cork and I just happened to find out about her when I found a copy of One Bad Apple. Wanting to share the good news about this read was a given for this episode, but I didn't know at the time that I would also be posting an Audio Snap Shot from a Cork maker.

Today on Small Business Japan I talk with Lee Reeve of InCiderJapan.com who is leading the hard cider revolution that is taking place in Japan. We’ll discuss the ups and downs of his Japanpreneur journey with tips for starting your business in Japan, and the overall state of the cider industry in Japan.

Paul O’Mahony & Roger Overall chat in a Cork cafe, Lab82 (Roger's business is called Show & Tell Communications.) [Please note: This episode isn't sponsored by Lab82, though we talk about it on the show.] You hear the conversation about 29 rubber ducks, Bert & Ernie, and the feel of the place,  There is a rubber duck in bondage gear, across the road from Cork railway station. This is the cafe where Roger met Phil Daly (photographer) & Pat Frawley (printer) last time he was here. The Big Question "Do you get the experience of a coherent style here Paul?" This place is not elegant, not sophisticated - it is a coherent mixture "Can you succeed in business today by being eclectic, messy, around the houses?  If you are a muddle?" Two of the companies Roger works for Lee Reeve, hand painter of kitchens, and iDriveGroup, executive car transfer in Ireland, are very focussed. It's relatively easy to come up with content for them because there is nothing messy about them. Show & Tell does a long list of things. "Its the way the List is presented that matters most". Part 2 The Big Question How about a website that speaks to you? How many companies have a visual website? Almost 100%? Why can't you listen to a company online? Why isn't there an audio file which you can click, and listen to what's on the site? The potential of audio on websites. You can talk about everything you make, and every service you offer. It could be attractive to blind people. It could be attractive to people on the move, who'd like to listen while doing something else. (After 12 minutes) Blinding revelation: (Roger's business is called Show & Tell Communications.) You hear Roger have an epiphany. Show & Tell means See & Hear "We will show you what we do, and we will tell you what we do." ("Tell" as in we will speak to you in a human voice, and tell you all we offer.) Partnership The relationship between business & customer. The Musgrave Group example shows great use of images to suggest there's an actual & potential partnership here. The Health Spa Story Roger was in a health spa - a hospital in Cork - during 2018. "Please offer a soft food alternative" was a fantastic sign & instruction to staff because The first word was "Please" "Offer" is a powerful word - it offers choice, it's not prescriptive, it's a two-way relationship word We & You We offer, You choose  This is how you create a relationship. People feel involved. Transform Us & Them to We & You We're working together - this is the kind of emotional feel you want - when you hope for repeat business. Everyone's interested in having a long term relationship. An on-going relationship is your dearest wish. The crazy story Roger & Paul worked at QQI (Quality & Qualifications Ireland) - podcasting. Roger remembers what Paul said to him in the car on the journey home from Dublin to Cork... (You must listen to this to find out what was said, and how significant it turned out to be.) Summarising the chat A website can talk to you. Such audio could be an unusual & distinctive feature (and an idea for Show & Tell Communications to put into practice).  This could help build trust. Paul remembers Steve Jobs - what he said about offering the customer something the customer didn't know was even possible. Roger make a commitment to change his website. Paul responded with How will you celebrate the fact that S&T website has become a place where people can hear? We'll let you know what happens next. Please tell someone about this podcast. ______________________ Contact us Roger Overall at showandtellcommunications.net  Paul O’Mahony at @omaniblog on Twitter

Lee Reeve arrived in Japan in 2003 as an artist from the United Kingdom Today in Yokohama, he is still crafting his magician skills, but his love of cider has led him into Japan’s growing cider market. We chat on the current pulse of cider in the country and what Lee is doing to help inspire cider  makers and consumers alike. And: What kind of apples are used in Japan to make cider and is this changing. French vs English cider Cider events in Japan Lee sees that cider being package in primarily large bottles 750ML as a deterrent to the general public at large not reaching for cider when it is only packaged in large bottles And, the world “cider” in Japan usually refers to a carbonated alcopop versions of cider. Yet, there are many French cidres (the Japanese do use this kind of spelling widely for cider) available, but as mentioned, Lee being from Scotland means he obviously has a hankering for ciders styles that harken back to his homeland. All this cider love lead Lee to meeting Clive Poole the owner of the Full Monty British Pub and Cider House with 7 draft lines of cider and over 80 bottle option too! Lee and Clive created a working relationship where Lee would write about the cider at the Full Monty and in turn get cider. Along with Kai, Clive’s wife, these three entrepreneurs founded the World Cider Experience and now have the magazine InCiderJapan. What is InCiderJapan? - a media, promotion, consulting company - also an importing and retailing cider related good and merchandise. - InCiderJapan is a quarterly magazine with the first edition being this winter’s edition of InCiderJapan. The goal of InCiderJapan magazine is three fold to be educational and informative for the public to provide a platform to Japanese makers to provide the world with a insider’s view of the Japanese cider market Contact for Lee Reeve eMail: mailto:contact@worldciderexperience.com  Website: inCiderJapan Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/inciderjapan Instagram: @inciderjapan Full Monty British Pub and Cider House http://fullmontyyokohama.com/  Ask for the following 9 #ciderGoingUP Campaign sponsors - By supporting these cider makers, you in turn help Cider Chat Kurant Cider - Pennsylvania : listen to Joe Getz on episode 14 Big Apple Hard Cider - NYC : listen to Danielle von Scheiner on episode 35 Oliver’s Cider and Perry - Herefordshire/UK ; listen to Tom Oliver on episode 29 Santa Cruz Cider Company - California : listen to Nicole Todd on episode 60 The Cider Project aka EthicCider- California Albermale CiderWorks : listen to Chuck Shelton on episode 56 Cider Summit : listen to Alan Shapiro founder of this cider fest on episode 75.
