A bi-weekly podcast exploring the stories of sake. Brought to you by experts on the front lines of the industry in Japan.
We’re back with a brand-new episode of Sake On Air, and this week, we’re doing things a little differently! Not an interview, not a deep dive into a trendy topic—just pure sake myth-busting.
In this episode, three of our regular hosts, Arline Lyons, Rebekah Wilson-Lye, and Sebastien Lemoin come together to tackle some of the most persistent misunderstandings surrounding sake. From the belief that sake is a distilled spirit to the common (but incorrect!) practice of drowning tiny sake cups like a shot, we’re setting the record straight.
Surprisingly enough, many of these myths aren’t just widespread overseas but are also common in Japan. So if you’ve ever wondered what’s fact and what’s fiction in the world of sake, this episode is for you!

Until then, kampai!
