Sake On Air

Guide to Japanese Drinks w/ Stephen Lyman


Listen Later

This week’s episode is especially timely, as Justin managed to

squeeze in an interview with Stephen
Lyaman to coincide with the launch of his brand new book, The
Complete Guide to Japanese Drinks, co-authored together with Chris
Bunting, author of Drinking Japan, which released
October 1st in the U.S. and is already largely available
internationally thanks to Tuttle
Publishing.

Those familiar with Stephen’s work may associate mostly with Japan’s

beloved indigenous spirit, shochu. Sake On Air’s shochu aficionado, Christopher
Pellegrini sat down for an extensive interview with Stephen back in Episode
14. Giving that show a listen first will be a great primer for this week’s
discussion.

This week’s show is a lot of fun because we delve into a great deal

more than just sake and shochu. A rarity for the show, Stephen’s new book gave
us a great opportunity to discuss Japanese wine, whiskey, beer, cocktails, and
how all of these things play into the greater landscape of ‘drinking in Japan.’

Stephen is currently on the road promoting his new book, so be sure to

listen in for upcoming tour dates, as well as follow him on Twitter and Instagram in order to
keep tabs on the Kyushu-based founder of Kampai.us
and East Coast instructor for the Sake
School of America Certified Shochu Advisor Course, and hopefully thank him
in-person for his great contribution with The
Complete Guide to Japanese Drinks.

We’d love your thoughts and feedback on this week’s episode. Let us

know what excites you about shochu at [email protected]

You can always follow us on Instagram, Twiiter, and Facebook, and if you’re so

inclined, our YouTube
channel is finally just about up-to-date as well, for those that prefer
plenty of video-distractions just one click away.

Also, reviews

are great. If you have a moment, please do share a few kind words. It helps
the show like you wouldn’t believe.

Thanks for listening, and kampai!
