Sake In The News

Episode 120. Stop the presses! Sake has been more and more in the news recently and we wanted to take a look at some of the newsworthy headlines hitting our shores.  This week, we'll discuss reports of the first ever "carbon neutral" sake coming out of Hyogo from the Kobe Shushinkan Brewery.  This involves not only changes to the energy that powers the brewery but also changes to the production process itself to optimize energy expenditures and production time.  Is this a sneak peek into sake's future?  We also debate the somewhat controversial "Sake Viva" program put out by Japan's National Tax Agency.  This program solicits marketing proposals that will encourage drinking among the younger generations.  Lots to unpack here, too!  Listen in to get our two cents the latest sake headlines as we uncover some sake in the news!  #SakeRevolutionSupport the show
