Sake Deep Dive

Blending Sake - Unmixing Truth from Fiction


Listen Later

Finally, the European masters have introduced the world of sake to the power of blending, something that no one in sake’s centuries of history ever thought of before. Or, not. Jim and Andy stir things up with a talk about the real, and very long, history of blending sake in all its many shapes and forms.

Vocabulary from this episode

Arabashiri - The initial “rough run” of sake from a pressing.

Nakatori - The middle, and often considered best, run of a pressing of sake.

Seme - The final cut, sometimes considered the “dregs” or tailings of a pressing of sake.

Chogo - The Japanese word for blending, as in sake.
