Sake 101: Sake Classifications
This is another video in the “Sake 101″ series which explains the 6 major classifications of sake. These different categories can effect both price and taste of your sake, so it’s worth learning about. I hope you find this useful and informative. Once you know these basics, you’ll be honjozo-ing with the best of ‘em.
Please leave a comment or drop me an email if you have any questions, comments or feedback. Thanks so much for the comments so far - I’d love to hear from you.


Your video cast is really great! It is really amazing how these are put together so well. I love your “filming” studio with sake boxes
Why do I feel like there should have been a Brady Bunch theme song rewritten for this lesson? (Here’s a story. Of a lovely sake. Who was milled to more than 60 percent….)
But where’s our handsome host in this episode?? Enjoyed it, especially the reappearance of our smiling Koji friend!
Etsuko!! glad you like the videos
I am happy you noticed the sake box bakckdrop! I had to drink a lot of bottles to make my set!
Hello sake-licker - I stayed behind the camera for this episode. Look for me to appear in other videos soon! I can’t disappoint my Boston fanbase.
Good post and good information. Please don’t stop the video casts.
Dang. I got beat on the Brady reference. Please include Timothy in the next videocast! I’m learning so much and enjoy your presentations. Keep it up. And thanks!
tim your pronounciation was perfect!! we need to hear the japanese words as well as english so GANBARE!!!!
but where did YOU go?
While waiting for a flight once in the transit lounge in Tokyo’s Narita airport, a fellow passenger suggested I try a sake whose name translated meant “breath of the dragon”.
What should I ask for to locate this sake?
