Fermented Adventure The Podcast

This episode features Christopher Pellegrini of Honkaku Spirits. The word Honkaku means authentic in Japanese. Honkaku Spirits is an import company that brings traditional spirits from Japan that are much older than Japanese whiskey. We are focusing Shochu and Awamori in our discussion. Shochu is a spirit made from 53 approved ingredients. Like many, Christopher started out in craft brewing. Fast forward 22 years where he lives in Tokyo. He discovered the traditional spirit upon his arrival and has built relationships and is sharing Japan's wonderful secrets with the world. www.honkakushochu-awamori.jp - Instagram Highlights From our Discussion: Bar Convent Brooklyn Shochu Handbook Lobby Bar John Gauntner Dr. Takamine Cherry Trees Washington DC Astor Wines Death & Co.
