Next episode - DAY 7 - drops on 27 March 2022 at 20:00 JST! (12:00 GMT, 07:00 EST, 19:00 HKT). Looking forward to seeing you there. Oh, and please consider supporting Kanpai Planet at www.buymeacoffee.com/kanpaiplanet - Kanpai to all our supporters so far! You are helping to keep the channel alive!
I had no doubt you were going to get all 5 correct, Mac! I can’t believe the series is almost coming to an end. It’s been an awesome journey so far. I have no doubt that the final product will taste amazing - and I should hope that it would given how much effort you’ve put in to making it! Much like the sake, we can see how much effort you put into your videos and the quality shines through each and every time! I’m so glad I came across your channel!
And I'm so glad to have you as a viewer Roy. Your support means a lot to me. Two more episodes to go... DAY 7 and the special yet-to-be-revealed bonus episode! I'm sure you'll be there for both! Kanpai!
Fantastic that you nailed it on the tasting, and fully deserved after all this hard work (& you're a lucky chap as well ! Number 1, what a blast ! ). Enjoy your purchase & gift/lucky draw!
A perfect score, I expected no less from our favorite sake tasting god, I bow to your absolute wisdom sir! And also, we have 1 more day left to go, it's kinda sad to think about it, being that we only 1 day left but also, I'm highly excited to see the finale of this grand "sake making" adventure on Sado!
I can't believe it either! However, although there's only Day 7 left, there is a special yet-to-be-revealed bonus video which I'll release on 31 March. Thanks so much for joining me on this journey, and all your support. Kanpai
Another awesome video. I enjoyed the terminology of the different stages for preparation. So much to learn from japanese language. Also loved the quick nap in a hammock (as someone who was raised in one). Thanks Mack and keep up the good work Kanpai Planet Team ! 👍
100% right AND the top student! Interesting about the cups making it harder to nose the sake. Makes you rely more on the palate. How much different was the experience when you had the "proper" glass?
Great question! The ISO 9001, and indeed a typical wine glass, are designed to funnel aromas upwards. The choko isn't. This can be advantageous in certain circumstances - for example, I've found some aged sake to be experienced better in a choko than a wine glass. All part of the sake experience. Kanpai!
@@KanpaiPlanet Yep, to me it was mostly a sweet after diner (generally speaking) drink, and never gave it much thought. Got a mate who's a bit into sake and has some actual proper bottles so next time I visit him, rather than me banging on about whisky, i'll take a keen interest in his sake collection 😋😄😇🥃
Glad to see you getting top marks! Always gonna be nervous. 😂 I hope you do a refresher after this series to run through the important points for us dummies.. what Sake is, what varieties there are and what we should try? 🍶🌾
Hey Mac - loving the series, but I have a question. You have explained a lot about importance of different temperatures for the stages of sake - so how was sake made before precise temperature measurement and control was possible?
That's a very good question Stuart! It's important to appreciate that we're making a Daiginjo - a modern style of sake that involves a higher rice polishing ratio than was used back in the day, and yeast strains that didn't exist back in the day. Historically, sake was made in winter - one of the reasons being that it was easier to heat things up than cool things down. This, combined with experience and expertise allowed for some temperature control... enough to make delicious delicious sake with higher polishing ratios and ambient yeasts.

Thank you always for watching, commenting and your continuous support!
Epic! What an experience! So envious… 🍶
Thanks Mark. Glad you've enjoyed the series!
Are all the participants in the beverage industry? What an amazing way to learn about Sake! First hand experience.
Hi Michael. None of team members are in the industry (aside from Kanpai Planet being a drinks content platform). And you're spot on - it was amazing!
満点, congrats!!
🍶🤓👏
Also not surprised you got 100% in the exam!
🍶🍶🍶
Fantastic that you nailed it on the tasting, and fully deserved after all this hard work (& you're a lucky chap as well ! Number 1, what a blast ! ). Enjoy your purchase & gift/lucky draw!

Amazing series, thank you for sharing the knowledge!
My pleasure! Whatever you can do to help me get eyeballs on this series is highly appreciated! 🍶🤓
Thirsty work! Another great video Mac!
Thanks Neil! I was very thankful for the sake tasting competition at the end of that day!
A perfect score, I expected no less from our favorite sake tasting god, I bow to your absolute wisdom sir!

Raised in a hammock?! That is super cool! Kanpai! 🍶🤓
This is a very interesting and enjoyable series to watch Mac, looking forward to the last day, by the way you nailed the blind tasting 👍, slàinte Mac
Thank you David. Can't believe Day 7 has rolled around so soon!
100% right AND the top student!

Mac good job very interesting video , like !
Thanks always!

Kanpai!
The greatest day of your life not once but twice. You look pretty tired walking up those stairs though :-)
I really needed a drink by that point!
Look at those tastebuds bringing it home :-) enjoying this series Mac. You've defintely changed the way I look at sake.
I changed the way Menno looks at a drink? WHAT. AN. HONOUR! 'Nuff said. Kanpai!

I've got you covered already! Check this out: th-cam.com/video/unakWrWR6s0/w-d-xo.html
Kanpai!
The water usage in this process is mind-boggling! Is there any water recycling efforts?
Good point Vin - it's not something that is thought about too much here because of the adundance of water in Japan.
Wow! This is a great series of entertaining and fascinating information about sake.
Thanks so much! Really glad to see your enjoying them!
Need to try some of that Sado Yamada Nishiki sake! Looks awesome!
It truly is a great sake! Kanpai!
Score of FIVE .. Let's not talk about that ... "I think we need a BIGGER Refrigerator Room" .... cheers
I'm glad you picked up on that. Cheers John!
