Extreme Sake: Doburoku
Episode 158. Enough playing it safe! It's time for another walk on the high wire that is our extreme sake series! This time, the guys skirt the law and explore the rough and ready style of home-brew style sake known as Doburoku. While Home brewing of doburoku has been outlawed in Japan for over a hundred years, Doburoku can be produced legally in specially designated Doburoku zones across Japan and by facilities with an appropriate doburoku production license. Doburoku festivals are also held annually at dozens of shinto shrines around Japan each year. While it has bold flavors of rice, yogurt and a tangy, higher acidity, it is really the texture that makes Doburoku extreme. This is truly an "unfiltered" brew - no pressing of the mash at all. Bring your fork as doburoku is funky and chunky! In addition, the alcohol is low due to a shorter fermentation period. Buckle up and lets dive into another extreme sake! #SakeRevolution
