The amount of “genshu” sake circulating the market these days is ever-increasing. So first and foremost, what in the world is genshu? This week your regular host Sebastien Lemoine brings the genshu topic to the table on his own terms together with Justin Potts. Beyond defining the term (hint: it’s actually pretty simple!) they also get into how the term can be both misinterpreted and reinterpreted at the discretion of the maker’s processes, making sake titled with the word genshu not only more prevalent, but also raises the question: does it even matter? Are you a genshu fan? If so, tell us why at @sakeonair on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, or send us a message with your thoughts and experiences to questions@sakeonair.com. We’ll be back with more Sake On Air – On Your Own Terms, very soon.Until then, kampai! Sake On Air is made possible with the generous support of the Japan Sake &amp; Shochu Makers Association and is recorded and broadcast from the Japan Sake &amp; Shochu Information Center in Tokyo. The show is brought to you by Potts.K Productions with audio production by Frank Walter. Our theme, “Younger Today Than Tomorrow” was composed by forSomethingNew for Sake On Air.

GENSHU: On Your Own Terms with Sebastien Lemoine

Christopher Pellegrini

Over the past year of doing Sake On Air, believe it or not, one of the most highly requested show topics that we get from our listeners has been for us to do a deep-dive exploring the backgrounds and stories of your regular hosts here on the show. Originally a bit hesitant – the entire purpose of the show is to provide a voice to those in and around the industry that are underrepresented – we realized that we’ve been doing this for quite a while now without ever properly communicating to our listeners exactly who is involved and their motivations behind, not only Sake On Air, but their involvement in the world of sake. So with that, we bring you Part 1 of our “Know Your Hosts” series. Each episode will include in-depth interviews with two of your regular Sake On Air hosts. Over four episodes to be released intermittently over the coming months, you’ll have the chance to learn a bit more about the people that came together in order to make Sake On Air possible. For Part 1, we hear from the show’s shochu ambassador, Christopher Pellegrini, as well as our deep culture guru and resident Frenchman, Sebastien Lemoine.  Now that we’ve gone through the process of recording all of these, we’re actually really excited to finally share the stories of the people behind the microphones with all of our listeners. If you have any questions for this week’s hosts (and interviewees!), feel free to reach out to us at questions@sakeonair.staba.jp, or via the contact page on our brand new website.  If you could take a moment to leave a review for us on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast streaming service, it really does wonders for helping us to promote and grow the show.  Also be sure to follow along with us on Instagram, Twiiter, and Facebook, and our  YouTube channel is finally in motion as well. Thanks for listening, and kampai! Sake On Air is made possible with the generous support of the Japan Sake &amp; Shochu Makers Association and is broadcast from the Japan Sake &amp; Shochu Information Center in Tokyo. The show is a co-production between Export Japan and Potts.K Productions, with audio production by Frank Walter.
