Can you talk about the relationships, the relationship between sake in particular and cherry blossoms in Japan?
Well, since the cherries trees are in peak bloom here in D.C., I think we should drink under the cherry trees.
Let's try some sakes.
What did you suggest for us?
Yes, I have cherry blossoms on my cup.
So tell me a little bit about the sake and what we're smelling.
It's very like delicate and definitely floral.
And it is kind of sweet, but not like cloyingly sweet because I don't usually like the super sweet things.
This is very nice.
I like it a lot.
Oh, yes, I got that just as I took a sip.
I was like, wait a second.
It's got like a little bit of beer taste to it.
Amazing.
All right.
Well, you mentioned the breweries in the United States, but it surprised me to learn that the sake industry in Japan is actually shrinking, but growing elsewhere.
Why is that?
And yet, you know, we have now breweries here in the United States and elsewhere.
And I suppose that's been good for businesses like yours, this expanding, this increasing interest here in the United States.
I have to ask you because we are a business and economy show about the tariffs.
