This week we zone in on sake in the U.K. as we welcome the founder and owner of Tengu Sake, Oliver Hilton Johnson to the show.

Oliver’s carefully curated portfolio and user-friendly communication are just a handful of the reasons that Tengu Sake has been selected as the Specialist Merchant of the Year in the Sake category for the International Wine Challenge four years running. From Oliver’s first forays into the sake business to the exciting developments happening throughout the sake industry in London, Chris Hughes, Marie Nagata and Justin Potts fill the tokkuri and dig into the nitty-gritty with one of the country’s young pioneers of kampai.

Please review and rate us on Apple Podcasts, and send your questions and comments to [email protected], or @sakeonair on  Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. We’re on YouTube as well.
