Hi all. Jim here.
Due to circumstances and all, Andy and I regret to say that we will not be releasing a February 1st episode. This is our first time missing a release since we started in late 2021, and it sucks.
We are truly sorry.
We plan to be back March 1, though!

In this episode of Sake Deep Dive, we tackle koshu 古酒 - the history and culture of aging sake.

The first episode of Sake Deep Dive is all about futsushu: what it means, why it's important, and what's good.

Jim's recommended brand of Gokyo recently released an aged version of theirs. It's a fantastic example of how the class can offer so much more than most believe.
