    To say Day 6 of 'Making Sake on Sado' is action-packed is an understatement! Our Japanese Sake making has reached the Nakazoe stage of the Sandan Jikomi - the second addition of rice, koji and water to the main tank. We're also doing the preparation for Day 7's Tomezoe (Third addition) PLUS putting our palates to test in a sake tasting competition. All this and more as our Japanese Sake making adventure continues!
    IT CAN NOW BE REVEALED! In the summer of 2021, I spent one week making Japanese Sake at Gakkogura - a brewery school run by Obata Shuzo. Now, you can join me on this adventure in a multi-part documentary series exclusive to Kanpai Planet.

    I had no doubt you were going to get all 5 correct, Mac! I can’t believe the series is almost coming to an end. It’s been an awesome journey so far. I have no doubt that the final product will taste amazing - and I should hope that it would given how much effort you’ve put in to making it!
    Much like the sake, we can see how much effort you put into your videos and the quality shines through each and every time! I’m so glad I came across your channel!

    • @KanpaiPlanet
      @KanpaiPlanet  2 роки тому +1

      And I'm so glad to have you as a viewer Roy. Your support means a lot to me.
      Two more episodes to go... DAY 7 and the special yet-to-be-revealed bonus episode! I'm sure you'll be there for both! Kanpai!

    A perfect score, I expected no less from our favorite sake tasting god, I bow to your absolute wisdom sir! And also, we have 1 more day left to go, it's kinda sad to think about it, being that we only 1 day left but also, I'm highly excited to see the finale of this grand "sake making" adventure on Sado!

    • @KanpaiPlanet
      @KanpaiPlanet  2 роки тому +2

      I can't believe it either! However, although there's only Day 7 left, there is a special yet-to-be-revealed bonus video which I'll release on 31 March.
      Thanks so much for joining me on this journey, and all your support. Kanpai

    Are all the participants in the beverage industry? What an amazing way to learn about Sake! First hand experience.

      Hi Michael. None of team members are in the industry (aside from Kanpai Planet being a drinks content platform). And you're spot on - it was amazing!

    Another awesome video. I enjoyed the terminology of the different stages for preparation. So much to learn from japanese language. Also loved the quick nap in a hammock (as someone who was raised in one). Thanks Mack and keep up the good work Kanpai Planet Team ! 👍

      Good point Vin - it's not something that is thought about too much here because of the adundance of water in Japan.

      @maltymission 2 роки тому +1

      @@KanpaiPlanet Yep, to me it was mostly a sweet after diner (generally speaking) drink, and never gave it much thought. Got a mate who's a bit into sake and has some actual proper bottles so next time I visit him, rather than me banging on about whisky, i'll take a keen interest in his sake collection 😋😄😇🥃

    100% right AND the top student!
    Interesting about the cups making it harder to nose the sake. Makes you rely more on the palate. How much different was the experience when you had the "proper" glass?

    • @KanpaiPlanet
      @KanpaiPlanet  2 роки тому +2

      Great question! The ISO 9001, and indeed a typical wine glass, are designed to funnel aromas upwards. The choko isn't. This can be advantageous in certain circumstances - for example, I've found some aged sake to be experienced better in a choko than a wine glass. All part of the sake experience. Kanpai!

    @stuartnicolson1090 2 роки тому +1

    Hey Mac - loving the series, but I have a question. You have explained a lot about importance of different temperatures for the stages of sake - so how was sake made before precise temperature measurement and control was possible?

    • @KanpaiPlanet
      @KanpaiPlanet  2 роки тому +2

      That's a very good question Stuart! It's important to appreciate that we're making a Daiginjo - a modern style of sake that involves a higher rice polishing ratio than was used back in the day, and yeast strains that didn't exist back in the day.
      Historically, sake was made in winter - one of the reasons being that it was easier to heat things up than cool things down. This, combined with experience and expertise allowed for some temperature control... enough to make delicious delicious sake with higher polishing ratios and ambient yeasts.
