Most people know that sake is made with rice, but did you know that rice might be grown in California?
This is the 250th episode of Lush Life Podcast, every week I have been inspired to live life one cocktail at a time by the guests who have been kind enough to join me and I am sure I will continue to be inspired by those who are yet to be on the program.
Thank you everyone for your support, especially Evo Terra and his team, that’s my producer, and thank you for listening.
Now, back to that 250th episode!
I was shocked, too. I had just assumed the rice was all grown in Japan. That’s just one of the many things that Ken LaGrande revealed about sake over cocktails at the Connaught. In fact, those aforementioned cocktails had all been made using SoGood Sake.
Why create a new sake and one whose pedigree is purely American?
Joining me today to explain everything is Ken himself and, one of the other co-founders of SoGood Sake, Meryl Kennedy.
