Deepen your knowledge of distillation and become familiar with a lifestyle that involves drinking distilled spirits.
We are starting a podcast on the theme of "distillation," run by distiller Hiroshi Eguchi.
When starting mitosaya, we became keenly aware of just how little information there was about distillation.
I created a content called "The Distillers Year" to record my daily life, hoping that the experiences I had while setting up a distillery in a completely unknown situation could be of help to those aspiring to become distillers in the future.
One post that received a huge response was, "Why is there so much book and information about fermentation, but so little information about distillation?" This was inspired by a simple question, and I wrote an episode called "Book Guide for Distillers," in which I collected and reviewed books related to distillation.
The process of extracting a special drop from something found in nature using a technique called "distillation."
Although the system is extremely simple, it requires the selection of ingredients, several processes, and a sense of style.
In the world of distillation, which is born from the interaction between nature and humans, there are many outputs and therefore as many people.
In addition, distillation condenses the flavor, reduces the volume, and almost completely eliminates factors that cause deterioration such as oxidation and spoilage. This means that it can be stored for a long time and is easy to carry around. These characteristics also mean that it can be aged for a long time, and the deepening of flavor that occurs over time and the stories that are born in the process are also part of the appeal of distillation.
Of course, raising a glass and enjoying a conversation is also an action unique to distilled spirits. Enjoying a distilled spirit over time, with or after a meal, and thinking about the brewer and the nature beyond. There is a culture of enjoying life around distilled spirits.
I would like to talk about the appeal of distillation in a technical way that I can only speak about because I am involved in distillation, and I would like to use distillation as a starting point for conversations with people who are involved in all aspects of their lives.
Distillery Class is a place to learn about distilling and also a gathering place for the distilling class to share the joys of a life of distilling.
Distillery Class can be listened to on various podcast services.

We are starting a podcast on the theme of "distillation", run by Hiroshi Eguchi, a distiller.
When I started mitosaya, I was acutely aware of the lack of information about distilling.
I started "The Distillers Year / 12 Months of a Distiller" to document my daily life, hoping that it would be useful for people who want to start a distillery.
At that time, the response was very positive: "There are so many books and information about fermentation, but why is there so little information about distilling? I wrote a book called "A Book Guide for Distillers," in which I collected and reviewed books on distillation based on such a simple question.
Distillation is the process of extracting a special drop from a naturally occurring substance using a technique called "distillation. Despite the simplicity of the process, it is a task that requires the selection of raw materials, a number of processes, and a great deal of taste.
In the world of distillation, where nature and man interact, there are many outputs and as many people as there are outputs.
Distillation also concentrates flavors, reduces volume, and eliminates degradation factors such as oxidation and spoilage. This means that it can be stored for longer periods of time and can be easily transported. This characteristic also means that it can be aged for a long time, and the deepening of the flavor and the stories that are created in the process are part of the appeal of distilling.
Of course, another unique aspect of distilling is the act of enjoying it with a glass of wine and conversation. Take time to enjoy spirits with or after a meal. Thinking about the distiller and the nature that lies beyond. There is a culture of enjoying life around distilled spirits.
I would like to talk about these attractions of distillation in technical terms, which I can talk about because I am involved in distilling myself, and to have conversations with people who are involved in all aspects of life, starting with distilling.
Distillery Class is a place to learn about distilling, and also a place for the distilling class to come together and share the joys of distilling-related life.
