SWET Kansai visited the Daimon Shuzō sake brewery (aka Sakahan Brewery) in Osaka on Sunday, September 10, 2006, where the British sake brewmaster Philip Harper, author of The Book of Sake: A Connoisseur’s Guide, just released by Kodansha International, gave a guided tour of the Sakahan brewery where he he works, led a sake tasting, and discussed the writing of his book.
The group enjoyed getting signed copies of the book and lunch at the brewery restaurant. Learning about sake production, sake tasting, writing, translating, and publishing were all part of the afternoon.
