Episode 96. Listen at SakeRevolution.com. What's the first thing that pops to mind when you hear the word "Miyagi"? Well, Daniel-san, if you're our age, it might be Mr. Miyagi's "wax on, wax off". But we are digging deeper to discover the real Miyagi - Miyagi Prefecture that is! And, by listener request, we'll be exploring some of the brands and sakes that are a part of this fascinating and resilient region. With only 25 breweries total, Miyagi suffered a major blow during the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami. Six of the 25 breweries were completely destroyed. With the support of sake lovers, government support and a lot of hard work, all of the effected breweries were rebuilt and are back in business. There is so much to love about this interesting prefecture. Our sake tasting takes us back to Katsuyama Brewery, which is well known for it's rich, fruity and luxurious styles of ultra-premium sake. This delicious brew has us looking forward to our next trip to Miyagi. #sakerevolution
