<p>In this episode, the first for 2025, Simone catches up with the team from 'Sake Unplugged' - who also just happen to be two fabulous women doing some wonderful things in the sake world: both as a team and as individuals.</p><p>These two ladies are no strangers to the TWTT community or the TWTT podcast, and both were guests on seperate episodes of this podcast in 2024.</p><p>So much has happened in their 'sake world/s' since we last spoke, including the two of them teaming up to bring Sake Challenge to Japan for the very first time. We chat with Cindy and Giulia about the upcoming Tokyo Sake Challenge, and find out what else has been happening in their world of sake since we last spoke.</p><p>A big thanks to Giulia and Cindy for making time for our little podcast, and for a most enjoyable chat.</p><p>We hope you enjoy this episode and if you're in Tokyo in March (2025) - be sure to check out the details of Tokyo Sake Challenge. They'll be calling out for volunteers soon!</p><p><br></p><p>You can follow our guests on Instagram...</p><p>Giulia: @jijisake</p><p>Cindy: @sakenomad</p><p>and our podcast and hosts...</p><p>TWTT Podcast: @tastewiththetoji</p><p>Simone: @sakemistress</p><p>Maki: @sake.amata</p><p>Julian: @sakeadvocate</p><p>and don't forget to check out Julian's new bar on IG: @sakehouse_osaka</p><p>This episode was recorded on 17 Feb 2025</p><p><br></p><p>A huge thank you to our subscribers at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/tastewiththetoji" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Patreon</a></p><p><br></p><p>More information about Taste with the Toji - The Project can be found on our website: https://tastewiththetoji.com/</p><p><br></p><p>Music by: Kazuyoshi Sato (Koikawa Shuzo)</p><p><br></p><p>Useful links from this episode:</p><p><a href="https://tokyosakechallenge.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Tokyo Sake Challenge</a></p><p><a href="https://londonsakechallenge.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">London Sake Challenge</a></p><p><a href="https://milanosakechallenge.com/en" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Milano Sake Challenge</a></p><p><a href="https://singaporesakechallenge.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Singapore Sake Challenge</a></p><p><a href="https://sakechallenges.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Sake Challenge (general info)</a></p><p><a href="https://www.gozenshu.co.jp/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Gozenshu Brewery</a></p><p><a href="https://japansake.or.jp/sake/en/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">JSS - Japan Sake and Shochu Info Centre</a></p><p><a href="https://www.sakenomad.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Sake Nomad</a> (Cindy)</p><p><a href="https://www.jijisake.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">JiJi Sake</a> (Giulia)</p><p><a href="https://anatparnass.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Anat Parnass</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tenon.jp/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Itakura Shuzo - Tenon</a></p><p><a href="https://konohanano-brewery.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Konohanano</a></p><p><a href="https://sakesommelieracademy.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">SSA</a></p><p><a href="https://sakeonair.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Sake on Air</a></p><p><a href="https://www.sakeunplugged.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Sake Unplugged</a></p><p><br></p>
