Extreme Sake: Wild Yeast

Episode 103. If you look up "extreme sake" in the dictionary and you may well find a picture of this bottle in there.  We are upping the ante on our quest for extreme sakes this week by introducing a brew with a lot of character... and a lot of fans: Tamagawa Heirloom Yamahai Junmai Genshu from Kinoshita Shuzo out of Kyoto.  The brainchild of UK-born Master Sake Brewer Phillip Harper, this sake is extreme in its deft use of ambient yeast to create a uniquely wild fermentation starter.  Paired with very high alcohol levels and a high acidity to match, this sake pushes the envelope on multiple fronts.  You'd think a sake like this might be a bit of a bull in a china shop, but the Tamagawa brewers have created an elegant, deeply flavored and eminently drinkable extreme sake.  It's not to be missed! #SakeRevolution
