Paul Nakayama sits down with Greg and Sother to talk about Nikaido Shochu. Discovered after a twelve hour boat ride to a remote Japanese island, Paul and his wife have been importing this into the United States for the better part of a decade and they have quite a story to tell. Tune in to hear about the magic of Koji, the place it occupies in modern Japan, and how it works in cocktails and highballs. Spoiler alert, but one answer might actually be “with Cherry Coke.” Plus, the state of the world kinda sucks right now but don’t worry. Greg has a plan to fix it.
