Sake Industry News is a newsletter covering news from within the sake industry in Japan in English. Sent out twice a month via email, it strives to be a source of information for getting to know the industry and the breweries behind your favorite sake. Each issue consists of four or five short curated stories from public news sources about the sake industry in Japan, as well as one or more slightly longer stories and observations by John Gauntner on trends, new developments, or changes within the sake industry in Japan. Sake popularity is growing all around the world - yet most information on sake available in English is limited to the grades, production methods, and how to enjoy it. This is of course important, but there is very little information presented in a structured format on what is happening in the industry itself. Those promoting sake overseas have almost no channels of information on the producers of significance, the state of the industry, new products, changes, trends and directions within the production industry and the consumer world, or major events. Sake Industry News fills that gap.
