A Sake Tasting sponsored by Sommeliers Australia was held at “Hanabishi” restaurant, on Tuesday, May 4th, with Mr. Masahiko Iga, the distinguished sommelier of the association. There we met Mr. Andre Bishop, who was one of the participants. Mr. Bishop is a pioneer and a trend-setter in current Izakaya and Sake booms in Melbourne. We asked Mr. Bishop about future prospects and challenges for the Sake culture to be embraced in Australia.
