Wild Rice: Dewasansan

Episode 62. Exploring another "wild rice", this week John and Timothy look at the superstar sakamai of Yamagata Prefecture - Dewasansan.  Registered in 1997 and named after the three sacred "dewa" mountains, sakes made with this rice definitely give a nod to the regions famous fruit flavors.  To explore Dewasansan more deeply, we taste the Phoenix Junmai Daiginjo from Tatenokawa - a sake produced in collaboration with the french rock band Phoenix and using 100% dewasansan sake rice. It's a special and meaningful marriage of sake and music.  Speaking of music, one of the most unique ways Dewasansan rice has been promoted is with its very own theme song.  You'll definitely want to listen in to this week's episode, if for no other reason that to hear the Dewa33 song! Join us as we take a deeper look at one of our favorite sake rices!ergnB6Cxq9pMlvRGq0r4Support the show
