Natural Sake

We’ll occasionally draw from a growing number of breweries that have adopted similar approaches and principles to those of the natural wine movement. This includes organic rice cultivation, eschewing the use of mechanization in harvesting and brewing, native yeast fermentations, and more.

Wild

Super unique sakes that may not fit the above themes and make more sense to stand alone. This includes aged sakes, sakes made with rare or ancient rice varieties, taruzake, and more.

“I’d like to turn the subscribers on to the idea that buying natural wine is more akin to buying produce at a farmer's market in that it often directly supports Mom 'n Pop agriculture and likewise is often much more fun and interesting to drink. I’ll cover various styles, methods of farming/winemaking, special producers, importers of note, and for the geekier stuff delve into topics like wine flaws, sulfur use, and ageability.” - Zach
