The cold is creeping in and despite it being the season of fresh <\/span>shinshu<\/em> and <\/span>shiboritate<\/em>, it\u2019s also the season for <\/span>kanzake<\/em>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, allow us to get on our soapbox (or maybe a <\/span>komodaru<\/em>?) and make another public service announcement – this time in the name of warm\/hot sake.<\/span><\/p>\n

It seems we are finally, for the most part, past the days of decrying warm sake as a method for covering flaws in bad sake, and it\u2019s possibly safe now to say we have a far more educated public out there when it comes to the virtues of warm sake. (This may vary depending on where you are!)<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s take it to another level. Can we make kanzake <\/span>the<\/em> Christmas drink? Try it out!<\/span><\/p>\n

Take a nice, dense <\/span>nigori<\/em> (maybe even a <\/span>doburoku<\/em>?) to that Christmas party, warm it up however you can, and pass it around. Then sit back and watch the expressions of revelation as your friends realize that eggnog\u2019s days are numbered.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can be extra festive and toss in a cinnamon stick and some nutmeg!<\/p>\n

Go ahead! We dare you!<\/p>\n

The most important thing is getting more people into sake and every little bit counts, so like we said last issue – stop waiting for the \u201cright\u201d moment to introduce sake – they\u2019re all right moments!<\/p>\n

And now for the news\u2026<\/p>\n

Mie-<\/strong> It\u2019s actually kind of difficult to overstate just how popular the famed reptilian mutant, Godzilla is in Japan. As a consistent mainstay in Japanese cinema for 70 years with a solid fanbase in the over-50 demographic, and recognized internationally as a symbol of Japanese pop culture, it is little surprise that there is significant overlap in the fanbase of Godzilla and Japanese sake.<\/span><\/p>\n

While it may not be a particularly new idea to use Japan\u2019s favorite <\/span>kaiju<\/em> to help promote sake, it\u2019s always fun to see the juxtaposition of Japanese tradition and pop culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, a new official Godzilla sake has been released to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the iconic \u201cKing of the Monsters\u201d.<\/p>\n
