Focus on Filtering
Episode 79. This week we pay another visit to the Sake Education Corner to focus on what is known as "roka" or fine particulate filtering. this can be done by both a activated carbon powder or by a micron filter. The sake industry is full of debate as to whether filtering strips all the personality out of sake, or provides a clarity for color and flavor. At the end of the day it is up to our palate and our preferences! To test the waters, we are sampling one "muroka" or non-charcoal filtered sake, and one standard filtered sake. The differences are subtle and interesting. What Brita does to our tap water, brewers also usually do to our sake as well. Join us as we focus on filtration for this week's episode!
