Sake Spotlight: Shiga

from Sake Revolution · host Timothy Sullivan, John Puma

Episode 150. This week we continue our series on prefecture profiles with a special focus on those prefectures that are "landlocked" with no access to the sea or ocean.  Despite no ocean view, Shiga is awash in water with 20% of it's area covered by Lake Biwa, Japan's largest lake!  This water feeds a robust rice growing industry and there is a healthy sake industry in Shiga as well. When it comes to food, listen in as Timothy recounts a harrowing run-in with Shiga's most famous, and definitely most funky fermented food that is best suited for - shall we say - extremely adventurous eaters.  Today's sake from Shiga's Mifuku Shuzo is something new imported into the States and it's always fun to try something new.  Let's explore Shiga sake together! #sakerevolutionSupport the show
