Who else loves this sound? Sounds like good sake, right? 

But what is good sake? And do you know how to find good sake? 

Imagine you are at a restaurant or at a liquor shop or even on the Internet. Should I take Ginjo? Or should I go for Junmai? How are they different? Have you ever thought about that while facing a large selection of sake? 

If you have, don’ worry. You’ll have your question sorted today. Maybe some of you have never been in such a situation – because you have some favourite ones that you always go for. But don’t you want to try other good sake too? I hope the answer is yes! 

And the worst case? … is removing sake from your options because you are not sure about what to start with! I hope you didn’t give up. But even if you did, it’s not too late to try it now. Because today you’ll gain some good knowledge on how to select good sake and enjoy it better. 

To do that, I’m so honoured to have John Gauntner -- aka the sake guy -- on my show. He has been writing and lecturing about sake for longer than any other English-speaking experts of sake would have – in fact for almost 30 years. 

He is certified as both a Sake Expert Assessor and a Master of Sake Tasting, meaning that he is the only non-Japanese person to hold these two certifications in the world.
