Sake Spotlight: Hokkaido

from Sake Revolution · host Timothy Sullivan, John Puma

Episode 63. Today brings another "Sake Spotlight" adventure, focusing in on the sake from a specific prefecture. John and Timothy turn their focus up north - way up north - to Hokkaido, Japan's second largest and northern most island.  Famous for its open plains, abundant dairy and frigid winters, Hokkaido is home to just 13 sake breweries.  The largest of these breweries is Otokoyama Shuzo.  Otokoyama means "Man's Mountain" and both sakes tasted today are brewed by this well known sake brewery. Hokkaido is also emerging as a sake rice powerhouse with three new sake rice strains registered since the year 2000 - Ginpu, Suisei and Kitashizuku.  John was a recent pre-pandemic visitor to Hokkaido, so be sure to listen in for his sake bar, ramen and "footwear survival" tips to make the most of your next trip to snowbound Sapporo. See you there!Support the show
