We’re back with a brand-new episode of Sake On Air and this week, we’re bringing you behind the scenes of a special event - a sake-themed photo exhibition hosted by the Japan Sake and Shochu Information Center.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> For one week, starting February 12th, the Japan Sake and Shochu Information Center showcased the work of three international photographers: Anat Parnass, Anna Petek, and Cindy Bissig. Their stunning images highlighted the beauty of sake breweries and the craftsmanship behind Japan’s iconic drink.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> We took this opportunity to speak with Anat and Anna, along with some of the visitors who attended the exhibition. Unfortunately, due to heavy snowfall, Cindy was unable to join the conversation, but Miho Ota sat down with the other two photographers to discuss their passion for photographing sake breweries, their sources of inspiration, and what makes the world of sake so fascinating through their lens.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Tune in to hear their stories and gain a new perspective on the artistry of sake!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> We’d love to hear from you! Let us know at [email protected] or send us a message on our Instagram, Facebook, or Substack!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> We’ll be back very soon with plenty more Sake On Air.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Until then, kampai!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Sake On Air is made possible with the generous support of the Japan Sake & Shochu Makers Association and is broadcast from the Japan Sake & Shochu Information Center in Tokyo. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Sake on Air was created by Potts K Productions and is produced by Export Japan. Our theme, “Younger Today Than Tomorrow” was composed by forSomethingNew for Sake On Air.

Our hosts, Sebastien Lemoine and Frank Walter made their way west to the little spot in Hachioji called Sake Dozo Kitchen. (Which is why the audio sounds a bit funky at times, apologies!) Started in February 2024 by fellow sake lovers David Cheek and Miwa Wag, the second floor restaurant is a delightful place to find your own sake language.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The conversation winds through Dave's and Miwa's personal sake histories and what prompted them to open up their own kind of sake restaurant in Hachioji. We also talked about sake tasting competitions, judging sake, and how to find your own way to describe the flavor of sake and how it makes you feel.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> How do you describe the sake you like?

We’re back with a brand-new episode of Sake On Air, and this week, we’re doing things a little differently! Not an interview, not a deep dive into a trendy topic—just pure sake myth-busting.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> In this episode, three of our regular hosts, Arline Lyons, Rebekah Wilson-Lye, and Sebastien Lemoin come together to tackle some of the most persistent misunderstandings surrounding sake. From the belief that sake is a distilled spirit to the common (but incorrect!) practice of drowning tiny sake cups like a shot, we’re setting the record straight.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Surprisingly enough, many of these myths aren’t just widespread overseas but are also common in Japan. So if you’ve ever wondered what’s fact and what’s fiction in the world of sake, this episode is for you!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Did we miss a myth? Let us know, we’d love to hear from you!
