The First Sake Brewery In The U.K. Promotes The True Market Value of Japanese Traditions

Our guest is Kumiko Hashimoto who grew up in the family of the 200-year-old sake brewery in Osaka.  She now plays a key role at Dojima Sake Brewery https://fordhamabbey.co.uk/ near Cambridge in the U.K., which the family founded in 2018. Dojima Sake Brewery is the first sake brewery in the U.K.  It is known not just for the quality of sake it produces but the scale of the project.  The property is set in a historic, approximately 75-acre garden and pastureland.  And its sake is priced far above the regular premium sake for a good reason. In this episode, we will discuss why the traditional sake brewery family decided to undertake such a huge, ambitious project, the joy and challenges of producing sake in Britain, the important mission of Dojima Sake Brewery for the entire sake industry and much, much more!!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
