Episode 23: Obsessed with Shochu: Kampai! or Cheers! This week on Japan Eats host Akiko Katayama welcomes Stephen Lyman to the studio talking all about the Japanese alcoholic beverage shochu. Founder and editor of Kampai!, Stephen explains his devotion to shochu, of which he is an expert and shares his travels to Kyushu (where 90%+ of authentic shochu is made) where he visited 6 distilleries and tried 262 different shochu (there are an estimated 6,000 labels from 600 distilleries in Japan) in just 5 days. Stephen went on to neighboring Okinawa where he visited 5 more Awamori distilleries. Upon his return from Japan he realized he had just scratched the surface of understanding shochu, but by this point his obsession had turned into a passion. After the break, Akiko and Stephen taste select shochu in studio and discuss traits to look for in the unique beverage. Virtually all shochu is aged 3 to 6 months.

Wine Can Be a Perfect Companion to Japanese Food: Our guest is Nori Nakamura who is the owner and winemaker at Noria, a unique winery in California. When we eat Japanese food, we almost automatically think to pair it with Japanese sake or Japanese beer. On the other hand, Japanese sake has become so popular globally that you can find it at Michelin-starred, non-Japanese restaurants outside of Japan these days. Nori decided to break the preconception and now is making beautiful wine that pairs perfectly with Japanese food. In this episode, we will discuss how Nori, who used to be in the high-end hotel industry in Japan, became a winemaker, his wine-making philosophy, what types of wine go well with Japanese food, the future of Japanese food and wine pairing, and much, much more!!! by Japan Eats!

Philip has been working in the sake industry for the last 30 years. In 2007, he became the very first non-Japanese brewmaster at Kinoshita Shuzo. Nowadays there are more non-Japanese workers in the sake industry but back then, it was a shockingly novel event! Philip has proven his remarkable talent and his outstanding products have won many awards. Also, he has been inspiring the sake industry with refreshing new ideas like sake that is made to be drunk on the rocks. In this episode, we will discuss how Philip ended up living in Japan and eventually becoming a brewmaster, his unique style of sake making, the future of the sake industry and much, much more!!! by Japan Eats!

A Coveted Whisky Brand Made Out Of Shochu: Our guest is Chris Uhde who is a whisky specialist based in Los Angeles. Japanese whisky is very popular among whisky connoisseurs in the world lately. Chris understands Japanese whisky thoroughly but it is not the only reason he is here. He has done something very precious for the shochu industry. In Japan, if shochu is barrel-aged for a long time and its color turns amber, you cannot sell it in the market. Chris discovered batches of unsalable barrel-aged shochu and magically made it into coveted whisky labels in the US. In this episode, we will discuss the unique flavor profile of barrel-aged shochu, the Japanese regulation to restrict sales of dark-colored shochu, how it can be sold in the US as whisky and much, much more!!! by Japan Eats!
