Two things-- where did you see/obtain the print photos (begs the question-- are these available to purchase?)<br />Second-- you wrote my book up somewhere, but I haven't seen anything yet.

I've always felt that I "taste/smell" sake in my mouth whereas I identify wine mostly through its nose. I also can't spit when tasting sake because I need to experience the mouthfeel and drinkability (nomi-gogochi/nodo-goshi) are so important.

I know a lot of technical and cultural innovations in early Japan had some outsider inspiration.
