Back To Basics: Honjozo
Episode 190. Honjozo sometimes gets a bad rap. Somewhere along the way, "added alcohol" sake became viewed skeptically by some and Junmai sake wound up with all the glory. On Episode 190, John and Tim go back to basics to mount a defense of honjozo because as John puts it, "ginjo doesn't need a hero". In the glass we are sipping Atago no Matsu Tokubetsu Honjozo from Niizawa Jozo in Miyagi, a bottle that quietly flexes Grade A Yamadanishiki from Hyogo milled all the way down to 60%. It drinks ...

Bombs Away! Defusing the Sake Bomb
Episode 187. Ever wonder where the sake bomb actually came from? Spoiler alert: it probably wasn't Japan. This week on Sake Revolution, John and Tim dive headfirst into one of the most divisive topics in sake culture — the sake bomb.

Funky Packaging: Koimari Nomanne Porcelain One Cups
Episode 186. What happens when one of Japan's most ancient art forms meets your favorite grab-and-go drink?
