Season 1. Episode 39.  New Year's resolutions come in all shapes and sizes, but we here on the podcast are looking at our Revolution Resolutions - namely, our sake goals for 2021!  The New year is one of the most important holidays in Japan.  The Japanese flock to their local shinto shrine to pray for a healthy and auspicious new year.  One tradition that is a bit less common is the drinking of Otoso sake.  This is a medicinal sake infused with herbs and spices (cinnamon, ginger, pepper etc).  Tim and John step into the new year with some new sake goals for the new year.  For Tim, it is to drink outside his comfort zone, and as a good first step, he brings in a sweet Junmai Nigori.  John wants to buy more sake locally and hits the japckpot when he finds some wonderful premium sake at his local liquor store.  Here is a toast to 2021, hoping it brings us all more of the sake we love.
