This week we zone in on sake in the U.K. as we welcome the founder and owner of Tengu Sake, Oliver Hilton Johnson to the show.

Oliver’s carefully

curated portfolio

and user-friendly communication are just a handful of the reasons

that Tengu Sake has been selected as the Specialist

Merchant of the Year

in the Sake category for the International Wine Challenge four years running. From Oliver’s

first forays into the sake business to the exciting developments happening

throughout the sake industry in London, Chris Hughes, Marie Nagata and Justin

Potts fill the tokkuri and dig into the nitty-gritty with one of the country’s

young pioneers of kampai.
