Brewery Switch!

🎙️This is the last episode of 2023 and this time our hosts are keeping it within the SU family.

🎙️Giulia recently moved from brewing craft sake in Tokyo at Konohanano to going back to Izumo, Shimane Pref., like every winter, to brew sake at Itakura Shuzo and Cindy is taking up the occasion to dig more into the difference between these 2 breweries.

🎙️In this episode our hosts are taking us virtually into the world of sake breweries, comparing traditional and modern styles of brewing, and what it means to transition to such different environments.

🎙️This is a biweekly podcast so make sure to subscribe and tune in on Thursdays, and you are looking for additional information visit www.sakeunplugged.com

🎙️The next episode will be aired next year after a short winter vacation. If you miss our hosts, make sure to check on their accounts where they show us more of their sake journeys!

Happy Holidays from SU and see you in 2024!

Until then,

* ERRATA CORRIGE
The brewery Giulia visited in Hiroshima is Chikurin, not Shichiken. Apologies for the confusion!

Daruma Masamune 3 y.o.

🎙️ It's been a minute since we shared our thoughts about the sake we love and 3 y.o. aged Daruma Masamune is perfect for this occasion!

🎙️We’re happy to have a chill session to talk about Daruma Masamune which comes from Shiraki Shuzo in Gifu Prefecture, in the heart of Japan

🎙️It's obvious by listening to the episode how passionate we are about this sake. Not only it's delicious but it's also versatile with food pairings and service temperatures as well as easy to enjoy in different settings!

🎙️To add to the sake itself, the CEO Shiraki Shigeri is so charismatic she will make you love Daruma Masamune even more!

🎙️As summer has arrived, we’ll take some time off recording, like last year. SU will be resumed in September, but in the meantime, we’ll keep you guys posted about our sake adventures on our social media

🎙️This week is all about koji!

🎙️We started the conversation about rice in the previous episodes, and in case you missed those, go listen to them after hearing all about koji!

🎙️When talking about rice in sake making, we couldn't miss the chance to talk about koji and the koji-making process in sake

🎙️First of all, what is koji? What it's used for and how does the koji-making process really impact the final flavour of sake? Don't worry, Cindy and Giulia will tell you all about it, and more!
