Episode 99. Ripening in May each year, Japanese plums have a brief window of being in season.  Brewers take advantage of this delicious fruit to make an ever popular style of sake known as "Ume-shu" a.k.a. plum sake.  We're not talking about sticky and cloyingly sweet chemical plum wine here but rather a lightly sweet, tart and low alcohol elixir that is made by soaking whole plums in premium sake.  These styles of premium umeshu have complexity and go down smooth as silk. John and Timothy dive feet first into the world of plum sake.  And beyond simply tasting, they also look at some easy cocktail recipes that use umeshu as a base.  There is a lot to explore and talk about, so do join us this week as we plumb the depths of all things Umeshu! #sakerevolution

Episode 96. Listen at SakeRevolution.com.  What's the first thing that pops to mind when you hear the word "Miyagi"?  Well, Daniel-san, if you're our age, it might be Mr. Miyagi's "wax on, wax off".  But we are digging deeper to discover the real Miyagi - Miyagi Prefecture that is! And, by listener request, we'll be exploring some of the brands and sakes that are a part of this fascinating and resilient region. With only 25 breweries total, Miyagi suffered a major blow during the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami.  Six of the 25 breweries were completely destroyed. With the support of sake lovers, government support and a lot of hard work, all of the effected breweries were rebuilt and are back in business.  There is so much to love about this interesting prefecture.  Our sake tasting takes us back to Katsuyama Brewery, which is well known for it's rich, fruity and luxurious styles of ultra-premium sake.  This delicious brew has us looking forward to our next trip to Miyagi. #sakerevolution

Spoiler Warning!  Chris and Taylor review the fourth season of the Netflix action series "Cobra Kai" created by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg.  With the big tournament coming up and the fate of the dojos at stake, former enemies Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence join forces while John Kreese calls upon an old friend to help give Cobra Kai the upper hand.  The series stars William Zabka, Ralph Macchio, Martin Kove, Courtney Henggeler, Xolo Maridueña, Tanner Buchanan, Mary Mouser, Peyton List and Thomas Ian Griffith.

On March 11, 2011, at 2:46 p.m., the largest earthquake ever recorded in Japan struck, soon triggering deadly tsunami and meltdown of a nuclear power plant in Fukushima. The event led to around $360 billion in damage, and even worse, the tragic loss of 15,899 lives.

In this episode, the Krewe mark the 10 year anniversary since the devastating events which have come to be known as 3/11. Doug and Jenn sit down with the filmmakers of the 2014 film "Tohoku Tomo", a documentary which tells the story of true friendship and commitment to Japan’s recovery by the international community following the events of 3/11.
