The world of sake can be a little intimidating for the average consumer, and in this episode we want to help you learn how to navigate it. We will be discussing labeling terms and some basics of what these terms mean from a production standpoint so you can have a better idea of what you're getting in a bottle. We hope this episode motivates you to seek out some sake to try as we (ok, primarily Gabe) think this is a highly underrated drink.

We also wanted to give a shout out to the importer Joto. We discuss this company at the end of the episode, but in short, they are an importer seeking to bring high quality sakes to the United States. Gabe in particular has been very impressed with their products, and we recommend seeking them out if you can. You can go to www.jotosake.com to find out more about them!
