THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS
Sake has a long, deep history in Japanese culture, but despite the popularity of Japanese cuisine, it is still not well known outside Japan. Kampai! For the Love of Sake journeys from rice paddies in Japan to breweries around the globe as it chronicles three passionate exponents of the increasingly popular beverage: a British ex-pat who has become Japan’s first foreign master brewer, an American journalist known as the “Sake Evangelist,” and a fifth-generation Japanese brewer determined to shake up the industry. Together, their stories form a fascinating snapshot of the rich, complex, spectacular and secretive world of sake.
