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. From its surprising roots in the 19th century boilermaker, to a 1987 Houston newspaper ad that might just be the earliest printed record of the drink, this episode is packed with history, hot takes, and a few personal confessions. Plus, we explore the question – is the sake bomb a gateway to premium sake, or is it a bad look for sake culture? The guys weigh in — and the answer might surprise you. Sit back, relax and get ready to take sides! Where do you stand on the sake bomb?

Episode 186. What happens when one of Japan’s most ancient art forms meets your favorite grab-and-go drink? This week on Sake Revolution, John and Tim crack open something truly special — a one cup sake housed in genuine Imari porcelain, the same fine ceramics that were traded to Europe as far back as the 1600s. The brewery behind it, Koimari Sake Brewery of Saga Prefecture, has crafted a series of five beautifully designed cups that double as collectible works of art. And when it comes time to actually taste what’s inside, both hosts are caught completely off guard by a bold, bright acidity that nobody saw coming. Tune in for a tasting that’s equal parts art history lesson, sake education, and pure delicious surprise.

Episode 184. With a new year fast approaching—and an astonishing five years of podcasting under our belts—we thought it was the perfect time to go back to basics. In this episode, we revisit some of the cornerstone concepts of sake, offering a concise refresher on ingredients, classifications, and production.

Sake remains a niche category in the world of alcohol, and every day new fans are looking for a clear, approachable foundation. Our hope is that this episode provides helpful insight and practical knowledge to support the beginning—or deepening—of your sake journey.

Here’s to a great new year filled with more sake learning, tasting, and plenty of fun along the way.
