The most Japanese of all drinks has hit the headlines around the world as growing exports but falling consumption at home have caused issues for brewers and the taxman alike. Luckily Kyoko Nagano of Sake Lovers Inc. was available to help guide Will through the very basics of how Sake is made, what makes it unique, how the traditional brewers are being challenged by changing tastes and demographics but also the new opportunities that are being developed for this most ancient of drinks.For the Desert Island Drink, John Kelly returns to the pod yet again, giving us a short and sweet view of his go to drink if he was all alone and in need of some comfort.We also discuss Foxy's first impressions of Kazakhstan (really), his (hazy) memories of drinking Sake in Toyko and Will's coffee confusion.Support the showFor more high-lights and low-downs follow @BizBevPod on "X" or LinkedInBusiness of Beverages is self-funded and hosted/ edited/produced by Will Keating.Pádraig Fox co-hosts in a strictly personal capacity.All opinions are those of the person expressing them at all times.
