Sake Revolution

Shubo Series: Monks and Bodaimoto with Jamie Graves


Listen Later

Episode 59.  On the final episode of our Shubo miniseries, we explore "Bodaimoto".  Our guide for today's episode is Skurnik Wine's Japan Portfolio manager Jamie Graves.  Jamie has visited the Shorakuji temple, the home of Bodaimoto and he also imports one of the quintessential sakes of this genre, the Takacho "Regal Hawk" Junmai Muroka Genshu Bodaimoto.  The name of the game is again lactic acid.  Getting the right acidity levels helps the sake yeast to flourish. As Jamie explains, this sake is a portal back to a time when samurai craved sweeter sakes to balance out the funky, preserved food they enjoyed.  While you won't find a bodaimoto at every corner liquor shop, this fun and historical style is worth knowing about.  Let's dive in to this 'time capsule' brew and discover a style of sake any samurai would love.
