    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!

    • @KanpaiPlanet
      @KanpaiPlanet  2 роки тому +3

      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!

    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 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 😊

    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.

    • @KanpaiPlanet
      @KanpaiPlanet  2 роки тому +1

      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!

    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!
