Bombs Away! Defusing the Sake Bomb
Episode 187
Saturday, 28 March, 2026
Episode 187. Ever wonder where the sake bomb actually came from? Spoiler alert: it probably wasn't Japan. This week on Sake Revolution, John and Tim dive headfirst into one of the most divisive topics in sake culture — the sake bomb. From its surprising roots in the 19th century boilermaker, to a 1987 Houston newspaper ad that might just be the earliest printed record of the drink, this episode is packed with history, hot takes, and a few personal confessions. Plus, we explore the question - is the sake bomb a gateway to premium sake, or is it a bad look for sake culture? The guys weigh in — and the answer might surprise you. Sit back, relax and get ready to take sides! Where do you stand on the sake bomb? #SakeRevolutionSupport the show
