Sake On Air

Talking with the Houseman of Sake House: Julian Houseman


Listen Later

Hold your breath, Osaka—there’s a new sake bar in town!

After much anticipation, Julian Houseman has taken the leap and opened Sake House in Osaka!

For those unfamiliar with Julian, he is a long-time friend of the Sake On Air team – a voice behind the scenes, a sake industry journalist, and a brilliant musician among his many other talents. Now, he’s bringing his passion for sake to life with his very own venue, creating a space where sake lovers can gather, explore, and enjoy the incredible world of Japan’s iconic beverage in a small intimate setting just a stone’s throw away from Umeda Station.

In this week’s episode, John Gauntner and Cindy Bissig sit down with Julian to talk about Sake House. From the logistics of opening a sake bar to the passion that drives it, they dive into what it’s like to stock the fridges, line up the glasses, turn on the music, and finally open the doors to the public.

Of course, if you’re visiting Osaka, we highly recommend stopping by Sake House – not only for its stellar selection of sake but also for Julian’s expert guidance in helping you find the perfect pour. Whether you’re a seasoned sake enthusiast or just discovering it for the first time, Julien is there to navigate you through the experience.

Join us as we celebrate this exciting new addition to Osaka’s sake scene!
