Sake Revolution Sake Revolution Episode 50 - Two Guys, 50 Kanpais and a Look Behind the Scenes
Season 1. Episode 50. Well it's been 50 episodes since Sake Revolution launched in 2020. The year turned out very differently than we expected... as did our little sake podcast. This week John and Timothy flip the script on its head and start the episode with a "kanpai". John starts by asking Timothy what the heck is a Sake Samurai anyway? Has anyone else ever had a crazier first day in Japan? Let's all promise to "Spread the word about Japanese sake around the world with pride and passion!" Then, we look back on how the Sake Revolution got started... it was just a couple of guys with a sake-soaked podcast idea and absolutely no idea what they were doing. What could go wrong!? Well, as it turns out, transcription A.I. is not yet up to speed with all the latest sake vocabulary, leading to hilarious transcription errors such as SUCKY Revolution. JUNE MY GOOD JOB! Challenges aside, to celebrate this milestone, the guys enjoy a 50% milled Yamdanishiki Junmai Ginjo from Izumo Fuji Brewery to celebrate 50 episodes. This soft and lovely sake is the perfect soft landing pad for winding down our first season of episodes. Looking to the future, we see a sunny horizon of on-location episodes and maybe even a visit to Japan?? Our sincere thanks to everyone who has listened to Sake Revolution so far. We are so grateful and hope to bring you more sake sipping, savoring and kanpai-ing in the next 50 episodes. Let's go!
