Sake Revolution Sake Serendipity: Born to be Alive
Season 1. Episode 19. Sometimes there are happy accidents. This week, John and Timothy discover they both brought the same sake to the Sake Revolution party... This could have been an embarrassing Faux Pas, but instead they resolve to make the best of things and dive deep into this week's sake. We are talking Born "Gold" Junmai Daiginjo. It turns out, all that glitters IS gold when it comes to this delicious sake. It comes from the hard to pronounce "Katokichibee Shoten" sake brewery - but let's just call it "Born". Brewery President Mr. Kato is rightfully gung-ho about marketing and promoting his sakes and - case in point - beyond this weeks Born Gold, Kato-san also makes the famously elusive "Dreams Come True" Junmai Daiginjo sake, which they say, if you take a sip, you'll dream of your future. Such dreams are a little out of our price range for now, so we'll settle just for Gold. The taste of Born Gold is rich and perfumed with a hint of straw color that comes from one year of aging at freezing temperatures. In the end we were happy that great sake minds think alike!
