    The Japanese sake making adventures ramp up! Production of the magical koji - sake's saccharifying wonder - continues alongside rice washing and soaking. And see more of beautiful Sado Island as we journey to Obata Shuzo's rice fields and check out the island's rare Toki birds - the Japanese Crested Ibis! All this and much more in Day 2 of 'Making Sake on Sado'!
    In the summer of 2021, I spent one week making Japanese Sake at Gakkogura - a brewery school run by Obata Shuzo. Now, you can join me on this adventure in a multi-part documentary series exclusive to Kanpai Planet.

    Absolutely fascinating and very, very interesting... Impressive stuff Mac! Great to see the amount of detail and precision that goes into all these individual steps to create sake. Glad to see a man appreciating a good bagwashing- it's definitely important and often underrated. I'll see myself out

    Another great vid, Mac! You never fail to impress us with such detailed and interesting content.
    I feel like I’ve learned so much about the process already and it’s so much more intricate than I could have imagined - everything performed in unison and in some cases, down to the second! I definitely have a new found appreciation for sake even if I’ve yet to try it.
    Really looking forward to part 3!

    I don't know how I missed this when it came out!
    I visited the Gekkeikan sake brewery in Kyoto a couple of years ago, and they showed how it sake was traditionally made, so it's really interesting to see some of the practices which have basically stayed the same, but with a bit of an update in technology!

    • @KanpaiPlanet
