Omschrijving
"This book is jam-packed with information and knowledge about the drink's past and present. Without a doubt, it's the result of in-depth research, interviews, and sake tastings." --Shuso Imada, Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association
"This book is jam-packed with information and knowledge about the drink's past and present. Without a doubt, it's the result of in-depth research, interviews, and sake tastings." --Shuso Imada, Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association
"Brian Ashcraft has written the thorough, authoritative, yet highly accessible book about sake the English-speaking world has been waiting for." --Michael Booth, author of Super Sushi Ramen Express
"…it would be misleading to call this title a mere guide, for it is not just about knowing your honjuzo from your daiginjo…Rather the author's approach here is reflected in an apt quotation from a former Japanese PM: 'sake does not just reflect Japanese culture; it is Japanese culture.' Interviews with the likes of a veteran master toji brewer of 70 years and the pioneers of premium ginjo sake make for a truly enjoyable read and offer valuable context." --Kyoto Journal
Brian Ashcraft is a former senior writer for the video gaming site Kotaku and columnist for The Japan Times. He was previously a contributing editor at Wired magazine. His work has appeared in Popular Science, the Guardian, the design journal Metropolis, and many other publications. He is the author of Japanese Whisky as well as many books on Japanese culture, including Japanese Tattoos and Japanese Schoolgirl Confidential. Originally from Texas, he called Osaka home since 2001, until returning to Dallas in 2022.
Takashi Eguchi is based in Kyoto, where he curates the popular Japanese-language Sake Concierge Report website (sakeconcierge.com) in which he covers sake events across Japan, interviews brewing luminaries and contributes tasting notes. He regularly gives sake workshops and, as of 2019, has held over one hundred sake-related seminars. He holds a Sake Diploma from the Japan Sommeliers Association and lectures on sake tourism at Kyoto's Doshisha University.
World-renowned musician and DJ Richie Hawtin became a sake connoisseur after he first visited Japan in 1994. He has earned the Advanced Sake Professional Certification and was made a Sake Samurai by the Japanese Sake Brewers Association in 2014 for his efforts in promoting sake internationally. He continues to use his global influence to open up young audiences to new cultural experiences via music, concerts and sake initiatives.
