Next episode - DAY 4 - drops on 15 March 2022 at 20:00 JST! (11:00 GMT, 06:00 EST, 19:00 HKT). Looking forward to seeing you there. Oh, and please consider supporting Kanpai Planet at www.buymeacoffee.com/kanpaiplanet - Kanpai to all our supporters so far! You are helping to keep the channel alive!
Thank you. I have to give a huge shout out to my editor/producer/director, Danielle from newmediaeye.com, for making every aspect of this series look so good!
Who would have thought that there’s so much to learn (zzz) regarding sake making? Wash, steam, separate, shake the magic mould pepper pot, pile up, wrap, let sleep, unwrap, break up, separate lumps, more pepper pot, mound up, wrap again…and educational, edificational terminology to pick up along the way! Splendid! I bet they’re booked out till Christmas…😂
Such a pleasure to help technically review this series. Not that there was much to review. You had already produced a solid piece of work and really done your research well. You should be really proud of what you have achieved. This series just keeps getting better and better. Please share and help this series get the views it thoroughly deserves.
This is HUGE, Mac. You have taken this to a new level. If you haven't done so already, then share this video. I don't know where you get more education per minute than what I'm seeing here. Hats off, my friend! Kanpai!
I’m getting déjà vu - I feel like I’ve seen this masterpiece before? Equally as good the second time round! As I said previously, these videos are easily the highlight of my week. From gangster inoculations, gold panning to bathtub boats - this is top tier stuff. So keen for the next one Mac! Kanpai!
Am I reading it correctly that koji is included along with steamed rice and water in each of the zoe stages? As a budding sake enthusiast this truly is educational and entertaining.
I truly appreciate it, and the second comment too. The saddest part of re-uploading is losing the original comments so seeing you here again has made my day!
Really enjoying the series. Huge amount of labour going into this - is this a traditional way of making sake? Do the big producers do a lot of this by machine?
@@KanpaiPlanet While it isn't part of the common vocab about sake, I think there is enough explanation about what koji is in the video to allow the use of this rather liberal, but creative new term. I would certainly give my vote to adopt kojified as a common terminology. 😉
As the English language vocabulary around sake making is constantly evolving, and many have kindly commented that this is the most in-depth look at the process ever produced, I proud of have been at the forefront of pushing the sake lexicon foward!

Came for the youtube video, stayed for the TV-level quality documentary series. Top work to all involved!
Thank you. I have to give a huge shout out to my editor/producer/director, Danielle from newmediaeye.com, for making every aspect of this series look so good!
Sake never sleeps, and neither does Mac, bringing another awesome episode here!
Thank you sir! We continue...
Can’t wait until episode 4. What a great experience!
22 hours to go! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Even better the 2nd time! As I mentioned on LinkedIn, watching this is an anthropologist's "rice-culture" dream!
That means so much coming from you!

Now you know why we make whisky!
Thanks Jules! It's a mind-blowing process on every level. So so involved. Glad you're enjoying the series! Kanpai!
So much hard work and precision put into the making of sake. Makes each sip even more satisfying.
This is precisely one of the reasons I wanted to make this series. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🍶🍶🍶

Thank you Chris for bringing your expertise to bear to make "Making Sake on Sado' as good as it can be!
I love the meticulous attention to detail, like folding the sacks (I do that) and 10 blankets (cuz 9 probably wouldn't do). A great watch. 🥃🌾
Thank you! As I know you know, it is that attention to detail than makes for the best drinks!
I'm not a big saké drinker, but I still find this fascinating! Great job!
Thank you so much! I also believe there is immense value here, even for people who don't drink sake! Thanks for watching!
Very insightful video. I feel a Netflix documentary coming on…
Please let them know! We're available...
This is HUGE, Mac. You have taken this to a new level. If you haven't done so already, then share this video. I don't know where you get more education per minute than what I'm seeing here. Hats off, my friend!
Kanpai!
Thanks Christopher. Coming from a pillar of the Japan drinks world like yourself, that means a lot! Kanpai!

From gangster inoculations, gold panning to bathtub boats - this is top tier stuff.
So keen for the next one Mac! Kanpai!
Not long to wait! I love that you are enjoying every aspect. Makes the whole project worthwhile. Kanpai!
Brilliant video Mac. “Sake never sleeps”! I can’t wait for the next episode. The next time I drink some sake I’ll think of you washing those bags.
I hope it brings you a new appreciation for this incredible beverage. Sounds like it is doing that. Kanpai!
Wow Mac, the production quality on these just gets better and better. Fantastic stuff.
Thank you so much Paul. Coming from a legend like you, that means a lot!
It’s not only interesting but also very informative even if we are Japanese😀
健太郎さん, ありがとうございます
Nice episode!! Love the shirt 👕
More great shirt action coming in future episodes!
Loving this series, thank you for sharing! I never knew all the hard word that goes into sake and you present it wonderfully!
Thank you so much Stacey. I hope you'll savour those delicious drops of sweet, sweet sake even more!
Such a fascinating watch - thanks Mac! The care and precision is incredible. Can't wait to watch the next episode.

Watching this video made me feel like I was in Sado！Thanks Mac!
Thanks Yu! More Sado in the previous episodes and those to come: ua-cam.com/play/PLVVZAmQLmYxeianHPbiryKhgVZT8tIRGd.html
Would love to see more of Sado Island once this batch of sake is done.
Sado is such a beautiful place. Each day will showcase a different part of it. Enjoy!
@@KanpaiPlanet I'm looking forward to it Mac!
Thanks Andy! Please share this series with all your sake-loving friends!
Loved the video, specially the well-paced editing during the many stages of work. Very well made. Gracias.
Thank you Gustavo! Have you watched the previous parts? Enjoy: ua-cam.com/play/PLVVZAmQLmYxeianHPbiryKhgVZT8tIRGd.html
Outstanding stuff - this is as entertaining as it is informative. Way to raise the bar on stanrdards for drinks-related media as well.
What a wonderfully motivating comment. Thank you!
Keep them coming, Mac. Beautiful execution, a lot of details, great story!
Thank you so much! If you keep watching them, I'll keep bringing them!
Great video! Really educational.
Edutainment is Kanpai Planet's middle name!
Another great video Mac! Very educational and entertaining. Hopefully we have a chance to enjoy sake together soon.
Thanks Dudley. Looking forward to the day Japan's borders open for tourists. Kanpai!
Amazing trip!
It was an incredible experience!
This brings back a lot of memories, and looks like we found about the same amount of gold 😹
So together we can buy two sake breweries!? 🍶💸
@@KanpaiPlanet 2.5 😆
Deal! 🤝🍶💸
Am I reading it correctly that koji is included along with steamed rice and water in each of the zoe stages? As a budding sake enthusiast this truly is educational and entertaining.
You are correct - koji is included at each zoe stage. You'll see that in action as you work your way through the series. Enjoy, and Kanpai!
Great video Mac, looking forward to seeing Day 4!
Thank you! If you haven't watch the previous episodes yet, watch here: ua-cam.com/play/PLVVZAmQLmYxewV8kG6x75GglDA6y52PSD.html
A re visit video Mac. Nonetheless watched it again and enjoyed it, looking forward to day 4👍
Thank you David. A 2 second 24 frame rendering error met my perfectionist standards, and here we are! I truly appreciate your continuous support!
I'am enjoying this video so much that, even though this is a RE-UPLOAD, I still watched it again anyways in its entirety. Really great video!
I truly appreciate it, and the second comment too. The saddest part of re-uploading is losing the original comments so seeing you here again has made my day!
Very impressed with your work Mac, keep it up!
Thanks Tom! Glad you have been enjoying the series so far! Lots to come!
Great stuff, Mac! Looking forward to Day 4!
Pretty sure we rode the bathtub boats in the same place. Not by firelight, though!
Thank you for watching and commenting! You'll be please to know DAY 4 is out!
Firelight bathtub boat was magical. A calming, amazing experience!
Love it. Can't wait for the next one..
Thanks Phil! 6 hours to go until DAY 4!
This series is like a Gordon Ramsay show without the fake bravado.
One of the highest compliments I could receive for this project! Thanks so much Warren!
@@KanpaiPlanet seriously the production values are top notch.
A huge shout out to my editor/producer/director, Danielle from newmediaeye.com, for making every aspect of this series look so good!
Awesome video Mac san!
Thank you! DAY 4 is out here: ua-cam.com/video/PmKooxOYSdY/v-deo.html
Brilliant! ⚡
🍶🍶🍶🙏🙏🙏🤓🤓🤓🙌🙌🙌🍶🍶🍶
Really enjoying the series. Huge amount of labour going into this - is this a traditional way of making sake? Do the big producers do a lot of this by machine?
Great question... it'll depend, but the big guys are producing year-round with many parts that we are doing by hand, such as koji making, automated.
Man, that yellow powder thing is highly suspicious!
Koji-kin works wonders. That is all I will say here!
Re-living day 3
Thank you John. A 2 second, 24 frame rendering error allows us this Groundhog Day opportunity! Thank you for your continous support!
Ah that secret 5th ingredient in sake… lactic acid.
Now let us never speak of it again!
Ooooh, I noticed your use of the term "kojified." I don't mind it at all, but I'm curious about how it's perceived internationally.
I find it completely natural - there is rice, it becomes koji -> it's being kojified!
@@KanpaiPlanet While it isn't part of the common vocab about sake, I think there is enough explanation about what koji is in the video to allow the use of this rather liberal, but creative new term. I would certainly give my vote to adopt kojified as a common terminology. 😉
