Learn about sake-making with livestream of sake shibori pressing at Japanese brewery

In sake brewing, shibori 搾り, or more formally, jōsō 上槽, is the pressing stage of sake production. The sake mash, or moromi 醪, is pressed to separate the rice solids from the alcohol, thereby yielding sake and sake lees, known as sakekasu 酒粕

Warehouse Japan, which makes fine Japanese sake by working with small but high-quality breweries, will be offering a unique opportunity to learn about sake brewing by conducting their first-ever livestream of the shibori process on their YouTube Channel, courtesy of Miyoshikiku Brewery in Tokushima Prefecture.
