Season 1. Episode 24. Grab your scarf and your ginko nuts!  Step away from the pumpkin spice!  This week's episode is all about what we refer to as "Fall Nama" or Hiyaoroshi.  This is a type of Namazume that is once pasteurized and released in the fall season.  In addition to Hiyaoroshi, Akiagari is another type of fall sake released on the market at this time.  both of these styles of sake pair well with the japanese foods that come into season in the Fall.  One favorite that John and Timothy share is "ginnan" or ginko nuts.  Roasted with  salt, there is nothing better to nibble on while sipping on fall sake.  This week Timothy and John look at two fantastic sakes that speak to the fall season.  Kid Hiyaoroshi Junmai ginjo and Azuma Rikishi Akiagari Junmai Ginjo.  Both of these sakes have unique characteristics that herald everyone one's favorite season!
