Futsushu: Humble King of Sake
Futsushu, the sadly undervalued, yet overwhelmingly popular base of the sake pyramid.
In Sake Deep Dive's inaugural episode, hosts Jim Rion and Andrew Russell discuss the meaning of the term, its history, and the reason why so many people turn up their noses at this enormously diverse class of sake.
They also give some insight into how it's made, and how to know which ones are worth trying.

Useful Japanese vocabulary for this episode:
級別制度 kyuubetsu seido: The old ranked system for classifying sake into Tokkyuu, 1-kyuu, and 2-kyuu. Lasted from 1942 to 1992. Now, many futsushu labels call back to this system with 特撰 Tokusen, 上撰 Jousen, and 佳撰 Kasen.
