31 AMAZING Japanese Sake Tricks That Will BLOW YOUR MIND

31 AMAZING Japanese Sake Tricks That Will BLOW YOUR MIND 🔔 Subscribe to join our family and more Japanese kitchen wisdom 🤍   / @granny-yuki   Granny Yuki kept a bottle of sake next to the salt and soy sauce. Not for special occasions. Not just for drinking. Every single day, in the kitchen, on her skin, and in the garden. In this video we counted 31 things she does with one cheap bottle of Japanese sake that most people would never think to try. From Japanese cooking hacks like the sakamushi shellfish steaming trick that fills your kitchen with the most incredible smell, deglazing a pan for a restaurant quality sauce in seconds, the kasuzuke marinade she pulled out every New Year like a small miracle, and the very first thing she ever taught me to do in her kitchen before I could even reach the stove, to Japanese beauty secrets that explain why sake brewery workers have been famous for their impossibly soft hands for centuries. That comes down to one compound called kojic acid, and once you understand what it does you will see sake completely differently. Then there are the traditions, the Shinto rituals, the New Year tonic, the three sip ceremony, and the Hiroshima hotpot that cooks an entire pot of meat and vegetables in nothing but sake with no stock or dashi added at all. 31 tricks, one ten dollar bottle, and a lifetime of Japanese sake wisdom. Welcome to Yuki's kitchen. 🍶🍚 Articles and sources used for research outside Granny: https://www.thewasabicompany.co.uk/bl... https://kanpai-navi.com/en/sake/cooki... https://www.mai-rice.com/fermentation... https://liaandrews.com/diy-kojic-acid... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sake_kasu
