The month of May is a special one! Our founder, Beau Timken is out in the far reaches of Yamagata Prefecture playing the role as Co-Chairman and judging sake for the illustrious International Wine Challenge! Here is a glimpse of some of the interesting experiences of an international sake judge and what it really takes to assess 450-1200+ sakes in a very short period of time!
