Sake Revolution

Listener Request: How to Taste Sake


Listen Later

Season 1. Episode 36. Shoe leather? Starfruit? Pheasant Skin?   Have you ever heard a - let's say - "advanced" sake aroma or taste description that left you feeling a little bit lost? What if you feel like you're not picking up on the nuance or subtlety in sake?  That is exactly the question one of our listeners asked us by email.  

In this episode, John and Tim break down the process of tasting sake - Tasting with intention to study the main points of a sake.  That would be the appearance in the glass, aroma, palate/taste and finish.  We talk about each step in detail and what to do if you might be lacking the vocabulary to express what you're tasting. Also, we'll review some tips and tricks to study aromas and flavors.  In the end, the art of studying sake tasting is about enjoying sake tasting.  Learn as little or as much about tasting as interests you and helps you find a sake you love.
