Season 1, Episode 17.  Often the overlooked step-child of sake production, bottling is a lot more complex that you might think.  And a lot depends on the scale of your production.  A family run Mom and Pop brewery might bottle and label sake by hand.  Whereas a larger brewery might have an multiple automated bottling lines with a clean room.  Keeping with this week's theme, John and Tim challenged themselves to profile two sakes that were sold in bottles!  We did it!  The two sake selected not only came in bottles but are both would could be described as sturdy... or some might go so far as to say indestructible.  Either way, they are absolutely delicious.  So, to quote Laverne and Shirley, "Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!" and we're off to the bottling line!
