If you are a fan of handcrafted beers, spirits, and cocktails, you are definitely going to want to listen to this episode of The Author Factor Podcast where I am having a conversation with author and founder of Honkaku Spirits, Christopher Pelligrini.
Christopher is on a mission to bring intensely artisanal Japanese spirits to discerning American consumers, especially koji-based spirits including shochu, awamori, and koji whiskey.
In addition to being a contributor to the newly released Oxford Companion to Spirits and Cocktails, he recently wrote the first non-Japanese book about shochu and awamori, The Shochu Handbook.
