I usually don't fall for ads, but your sake ad was literally so convincing, I am genuinely considering trying to switch my medications so that I can drink again. 😅 You make that stuff sound so good. Edit: I appreciate everyone's concern 😅 it was mostly a joke, but the medication in question is an anxiety medication that isn't working 🤷🏼‍♂️😅 and I definitely know better than to stop taking a medication without consulting the doctor that prescribed it. I'm dumb, but not that dumb 😅

[@Linfamy]

lol wait, probably don't change medication for drinking. Cheers :)

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Sake is good, but I think Japanese Gin is better 👍

[@xionmemoria]

I'm with this guy. Most medications that interfere with alcohol are used to treat things so miserable you earned a drink by not walking in front of a bus. Screw Methotrexate, all hail sake!

[@fmleverynameistakenx]

​@@xionmemoria wait, i drink and i'm on mtx - my liver is (still) fine! I just don't drink the day on and after mtx. And when i take nsaids...or cortison...or when i feel too shit...so basically i'm abstinent

[@ferretyluv]

If you’re taking SSRIs, you can still drink. Just not too much. You just get drunk quicker. Source: my experience.

[@KamiRecca]

As for everything the japanese does, the making of Sake is a tradition filled with history, dedicatrion, complicated rituals, hard work and heart. Here in sweden, we just dumped honey into water and let it stand close to some bushes in spring for a few weeks to make Mead. Me and my partner make mead today, but we are chumps, and use yeast instead of Wild Flowering. Make mead. Its easy, fun and tastes great. And its a cool feeling to get drunk in the very same way our ancestors did.

[@Nemerian]

I did it, was fun and easy. Thing is, in Romania, it used to be more popular in one of the regions of my country, until the Middle Ages.

[@Mortablunt]

Commercial meadis way too fucking expensive. Seriously $60 for a bottle, what, does it come with a fucking blow job and a winning lotto number?

[@KamiRecca]

@@Nemerian Same here. Beer killed mead, and now few know about it or have tried it.

[@thanakonpraepanich4284]

Was it the arrival of instant yeast that allowed beer to drive mead out of Swedish alcohol market? And does instant yeast in Swedish shops come in power, or in small bars like here in Thailand?

[@KamiRecca]

@@thanakonpraepanich4284 cubes, and no i think its the fact beer is cheaper to make

[@Oscarandu]

Here in southamerica our ancestors made "chicha" (corn wine) the same way, asked a (presumably) virgin damcel to chew some of the corn and spit it into a pot, nice to know that acohol always find a way such as love and divorce Love your content

[@aleisterlavey9716]

Same with the viking method of making mead. Seems universal

[@thanakonpraepanich4284]

Looks like everyone use spit before the instant yeast enter the market I see. Maybe Ancient Thais didn't use spit because coconut and palm juice are enough to activate fermentation process by themselves.

[@frostincubus4045]

​@@thanakonpraepanich4284 the spit has amylase enzyme that helps break down starch into simple sugar

[@bettyswunghole3310]

@@aleisterlavey9716 But isn't mead made from honey? Honey is already full of sugar, not starch...

[@aleisterlavey9716]

@@bettyswunghole3310 yes, today mostly from pure honey, but the border between beer, wine and mead wasn't something people cared to much about. Make it sweet and make it booze. It was fairly common to put herbs, berries and some grain in it too. Berries, like grain, ferment better with another enzyme (pectin I think).

[@jessicaclakley3691]

Wow! The chewing method reminds me of chicha from Andean and South American culture. It’s the same principle but with corn instead. Amazing how across the globe us humans figured out similar techniques to get our drink on!!

[@octapusxft]

I thought the same. The special thing with fermentation is how it can happen by accident because someone spat in the porridge and then nobody ate it for a while

I am expecting to be told that the earliest form of Sake was made using human spit - aka Kuchikamizake, literally “mouth-chew-sake”. Edit: Yup. Expectations validated. Thank you, Makoto Shinkai. And Mitsuha. Don’t forget Mitsuha. (Really, Taki. Don’t forget!)

I've been brewing and exporting sake for ten years in Japan. You did a great job about a complex topic. Also, Tippsy Sake is a good place to find good sake. Japan brews 24,000 different sakes every year. >90% of them are best enjoyed within a year after shipping from the brewery. Such new sakes are usually better. Kanpai from Kyoto!

It was what I was expecting, because people in South America did it that way. But I still wasn't certain my guess was right.

Please consider doing a video on Japanese diaspora around the world. The historical contributions of Japanese people to places like Peru, or Brazil and the establishment of Japanese enclaves are fascinating yet largely ignored.

Really makes sense honestly. Saliva already breaks down sugar so it makes sense that they took it a step further. I still use a little spit every time i brew a cup of kava. And thats pretty frequent. And i dont think most kavalactones are even carbohydrates. Pretty sure theyre mostly terpenes and tropane alkaloids if my memory serves... and it often does not

I like plum sake- it's sweet and is good warmed or chilled. I also like mead. I really don't like grape wine, I've never had any that is nearly as good as a decent mead or plum sake, and beer is just plain awful stuff. Aside from those, I like just about anything sweet like mint mojitos (spelling?), strawberry daiquiris, etc.

[@TheEudaemonicPlague]

Sake isn't the only alcoholic beverage that was made by chewing some vegetable matter and spitting it into a container. Can't remember exactly where or what it's called, but one is/was common in central or south America, and something similar was done by native Americans of north America. It's very likely to have been done in other parts of the world, too. The idea of drinking something made from other people's spit turns my stomach...I would most definitely throw up if I tried it.

This Tippsy thing is really good actually. A shame I'm not from the US :/ I bought some sake drinks that had flavor and they were sooo gooood! And then I thought to myself: why not buy an actual bottle of sake? Like fancier than these bubbly alcoholic drinks? Get the real thing! And it was AWFUL XD It tasted really weird to me and I do think it was because I dunno how to choose the sake (I also bought the wrong wine once, so instead of using it on the meat we were preparing, we just drank it XD it was good for it at least) So yeah nice initiative from Tippsy!
