Catching up on 5 years of Zenkuro with founder David Joll

Sebastien and Marie catch up with friend of the show, David Joll! Their conversation with the founder of Zenkuro Sake covers both the tribulations of making sake abroad while using Japanese rice, koji, and yeast along with the changes in the New Zealand sake market. We also talked about future plans for the brewery and much more. It’s been 5 years since we first had David on the show, Episode 35 , and there is a lot to talk about! We’d love to hear what you thought about the episode! Let us know at questions@sakeonair.com or send us a message on our  Instagram ,  Facebook,  or  Substack !
