Episode 101. This week, we have an enlightening and fun interview. We’re joined by Marcus Consolini, a New York City native who became the first non-Japanese owner and CEO of a sake brewery in Japan. In 2017, Marcus was introduced to Osaka’s Daimon Shuzo and with his background in finance and banking, he began a partnership to help guide the 200 year old brewery into new markets and opportunities. With such a unique perspective on the sake industry, both inside Japan and abroad, we knew we’d have an interesting discussion with lots of insight. For our tasting, we get to explore Daimon’s flagship export to the U.S., the “Road to Osaka” Tokubetsu Junmai Nigori. So listen in this week as we learn all about Marcus’ fascinating journey into the world of sake! #SakeRevolution
