Sponge Worthy: Castella Cake Meets Kikusui

Episode 189. After six years of audio-only podcasting, Sake Revolution is officially on video — and we're celebrating by doing something dangerous... dangerously delicious, that is! John and Timothy are trying their hand at a 15-million-view viral sake challenge out of Japan: dipping castella cake into a can of Kikusui Funaguchi. A sake shop called Kurand started it. Kikusui's own social media team escalated it. And now America's first sake podcast is here to find out if castella cake is really and truly sponge worthy. Along the way, we dig into what castella cake actually is (it's not pound cake, we promise), why Funaguchi's 19% ABV is sneakier than it looks, and, critically, whether you should dunk or dribble. Spoiler alert: one of us learned the hard way. In any case, we are here to tell you that you can have your cake and drink it, too. If you've been with us since the beginning, welcome to our new video format. If you're brand new — pull up a can and your favorite cake and join the party. Kanpai!
