Thank you to everyone who has joined me on this epic journey! This has been the most ambitious video project I've ever attempted. If you've enjoyed it, please consider supporting Kanpai Planet at buymeacoff.ee/kanpaiplanet Arigato, and Kanpai!
Whether it's a clean, creamy or cereal-y, sounds like you (and the folks at Gakkogura) knocked it out of the park. I hope you have a bottle or two of each saved up for a special occasion!
This really was delicious sake. Just watching this had my tastebuds tingling again. Thanks for letting me try these Mac. You really went above and beyond in your pursuit of making delicious sake. They will make a toji of you yet ;)
Great Mac that your tasting and liking what you made, all that work has paid off. Also a good idea to bring your sake expert along for the tasting. An excellent , enjoyable series 👍💪, cheers Mac.
Thanks David! So glad you enjoyed it. As you can imagine this took month, and a lot of effort and money to make. If you'd like to support the channel, you can do so at buymeacoff.ee/kanpaiplanet 🍶 Thanks always for your continuous support. Kanpai!
Great bonus episode. I thought the series ended with "Day 7". It's great that your efforts produced such good sake! This was the best beverage video series I've seen.
Thanks! I (New Media Eye) was Kanpai Planet's production partner on this series - It was certainly a challenge to write and edit all the videos . I hope we did it justice and and that people are entertained as they learn about sake. It really is an incredibly labour intensive process!
I’ve been meaning to get to this video for over a week! Even before the bottles were opened, I liked the look of the arabashiri. Glad to hear it was the standout of the bunch. If Chris the sake expert says it’s perhaps the best arabashiri he’s ever tried, you know it’s gotta be good! I have no doubt that the people lucky enough to get their hands on the small batch of bottles would have thought the same. You really spoiled us Mac. Excellent ending to a fantastic series! Can’t wait for the next Kanpai Planet video 😊
Thank you so much for your continuous support throughout the series, and for your contribution at buymeacoff.ee/kanpaiplanet It's strange to think a drink I helped make was commercially available. I've definitely got a taste for it though... 🤓 Thanks always, and Kanpai!
And I thought I've seen your whole journey ... and then this episode turned up. Great final! Curious how the nigory tastes, tbh 😉 (I will not reveal anything more; I'll leave that to experience to the viewers, but enjoyable it is.) Kanpai / Slàinte mhath
I want some of those sake too! The comments on those sakes are very appealing. I do hope that I can go to Sado someday and try making my own sake as well. Really, this series has been a blast, I have really enjoyed seeing your journey. I'm excited for the future contents as well!
Thank you for joining the journey! So glad to hear you enjoyed it! If you can, please consider supporting the channel at buymeacoff.ee/kanpaiplanet Thank you always, and Kanpai!
Was it that obvious?!? 🤓 I was genuinely nervous and quite apprehensive about Chris' judgement... but like everything I do I want it to be edutaining and fun. Thanks always John! 🍶🙏
Hi Mark. So glad you enjoyed the series and very happy to hear the impact it has had! As you can imagine this took months, and a lot of effort and money to make. If you'd like to support the channel, you can do so at buymeacoff.ee/kanpaiplanet 🍶 Thank you, and Kanpai!
Thanks Van. It seemed appropriate to end things with a tasting of the actual sake itself. Really glad that this video has been well recieved. Cheers for watching, and Kanpai!
I really enjoyed working with Mac @Kanpai Planet to produce and edit all the Making Sake on Sado videos. Love all the positive feedback and curiosity. Thanks for the editing compliment!
Thank you so much Ben! Please share these videos with all your drinks-loving friends! ... and please consider supporting Kanpai Planet at buymeacoff.ee/kanpaiplanet! It is very much appreciated. Kanpai!
Hopefully they sell that band overseas. I've been dying to drink some sake, but wasn't sure which brand to go for since I know no one who's drank store bought sake.
Obata Shuzo - the parent brewery of Gakkogura - do sell their sake overseas, but the particular bottle we made is only available in Japan. Check out Day 6 - the Sake Tasting Competition - and see if some of those bottles are available where you are! Good luck, and Kanpai!
Mac I haven't completed this series but just wanted to congratulate on an epic journey that made me a bit envious. Thanks for giving us an up close and personal look into one of the world's most glorious beverages. By chance is this available online to ship to the U.S? Cheers!

Thank you for joining me in this epic sake journey. Sadly Obata Shuzo don't export Gakkogura sake. If you come to Japan ASAP, you can try some of my stash! Kanpai!
I can see this as a new trend. "Please see X's comments for my thoughts" 🤓 Both you and Greg are legends, so I'm honoured you're on the same page! Kanpai!
Hi Mac, I really enjoyed this sake series! My wife and I are visiting Japan in October this year (flying into Tokyo and likely traveling by train to other cities/towns from there). While there, I'd like to visit distilleries and bars (of course). Would you recommend any particular distilleries or bars that are a must visit? I already have Aloha on the list :) Thanks!
Hi Allen. Thanks for watching. Hakushu, Yamazaki and Miyagikyo are all well worth visiting and reasonably accessible. Others are a bit of a journey. If you're heading to Kagoshima, try to visit Kanosuke. Bars - too many to mention! I actually run a tour business, mactionplanet.com. Please check it out!

I hope you have a bottle or two of each saved up for a special occasion!
Not as many of the Arabashiri as I would have liked with hindsight! It's certainly something special to know you made a drink. Kanpai my friend!
Well done, Mac, and it was a good idea to have a sparring partner for this tasting...I think you can be proud of the result ! 👏👏👏
I hope so! Chris was impressed which was a huge relief! Kanpai! 🍶🙏
This really was delicious sake. Just watching this had my tastebuds tingling again. Thanks for letting me try these Mac. You really went above and beyond in your pursuit of making delicious sake. They will make a toji of you yet ;)
Thank YOU for taking the time to assess the fruits of the Rising Dragons' labour! We just need to buy that brewery now... Kanpai!

It's highly appreciated and all reinvested to bring you even more from the world of Japan's drinks!
It's very elaborate review! Also good for new comer. Thanks!

A real Peach of a review ...... I was reminded of a Morecombe & Wise sketch when they try to be serious :) :) :) cheers john

I am now imagining Morcombe and Wise doing a sake tasting. Great imagery. I wonder if they would sing in between s😂ips.
There's a comedy career for us yet Chris!
Great video and great to see you enjoying your own Sake. Kanpai! 😊
Thank you so much, and thank you too for supporting the channel at buymeacoff.ee/kanpaiplanet. It is truly appreciated!
