Sake is often called rice wine, but is it actually wine?!? You may be surprised to find the answer! And for this minisode, we are joined by our daughter Marianna who you can find on Instagram at munch.with.mar! They have been making sake in Japan in the same way for more than 500 years, and there are 12 steps to making it, so, whether it is wine, beer, spirits, or its own thing, it is a very involved process!

Join us for this taste spoon of our podcast, and speaking of tasting, we give a little tasting of a sake just for good measure.  <a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1880401/open_sms">Send us a Text Message and we'll respond in our next episode!</a>Contact The Wine Pair Podcast - we’d love to hear from you!
