Facts Friday

This week's Fact Friday Lindsay shares a fact from The Sake Scholar Study Manual, Fourth Edition, by Michael Tremblay, 2021.

Space sake (the Japanese brewed rice beverage) is a thing, and quite popular. A group of sake brewers from the Kōchi region of Japan created Tosa Uchu-shu (Tosa Space Sake), after sending twelve yeasts (both freeze-dried and wet) and two sake rice strains over several years into space aboard the Russian Soyuz Rocket. The same scientists also recently experimented with sending those yeasts 6000 metres deep into the Pacific Ocean for one year. - Sourced from The Sake Scholar Study Manual, Fourth Edition, by Michael Tremblay, 2021
