Find your Sake Language at Sake Dozo Kitchen

Our hosts, Sebastien Lemoine and Frank Walter made their way west to the little spot in Hachioji called Sake Dozo Kitchen. (Which is why the audio sounds a bit funky at times, apologies!) Started in February 2024 by fellow sake lovers David Cheek and Miwa Wag, the second floor restaurant is a delightful place to find your own sake language. The conversation winds through Dave's and Miwa's personal sake histories and what prompted them to open up their own kind of sake restaurant in Hachioji. We also talked about sake tasting competitions, judging sake, and how to find your own way to describe the flavor of sake and how it makes you feel. How do you describe the sake you like? Let us know, we’d love to hear from you! Let us know at [e-mail] or send us a message on our Instagram, Facebook, or Substack! In other news, we have a newsletter!
