Celebrating WIRED25 and beyond with GetWIRED
As WIRED's Digital Experience Agency we connected readers with WIRED through the GetWIRED app.
The results
A native mobile app for iOS and Android that brings the latest news, events, and media from WIRED magazine to their audience.
The challenge
WIRED Editor-in-Chief Nicholas Thompson wanted a mobile app for WIRED Magazine
As WIRED prepared to celebrate its 25th Anniversary in the fall of 2018, we were asked if we could not just build an app for the four-day event, but, if we could build an app for WIRED, and if we could build it in roughly 8 weeks.
The solution
GetWIRED is the official mobile app for WIRED, and a collaboration between WIRED and Isobar to explore new models of storytelling and user engagement on mobile devices and beyond.
The GetWIRED app is a robust mobile experience full of the most recent articles from WIRED.com, along with Podcasts, a guide to WIRED Events and the just-launched 'Experiments' section where the Editorial team at WIRED and the Innovation team at Isobar take a deep dive on some of the most important subjects in tech and culture, today and tomorrow.

Every man creates a culture by the way he lives. That culture can be positive or negative, constructive or destructive. If you're listening to this episode, you're being charged to create a culture around you in which men can bring the problems of their souls to the surface. You don't have to be a "counselor" or have any special knowledge in psychology in order to do this. It can be really simple. All you have to do is listen and ask questions.

nor the engagement of words, are not so forcible as custom. Only superstition is now so well advanced, that men of the first blood1 are as firm as butchers by occupation; and votary resolution is made equipollent to custom even in matter of blood. In other things the predominancy of custom is every where visible; insomuch as a man would wonder to hear men profess, protest, engage, give great words, and then do just as they have done before; as if they were dead images, and engines moved only by the wheels of custom. We see also the reign or tyranny of custom, what it is. The Indians (I mean the sect of their wise men)2 lay themselves quietly upon a stack of wood, and so sacrifice themselves by fire. Nay the wives strive to be burned with the corpses of their husbands. The lads of Sparta, of ancient time, were wont to be scourged upon the altar of Diana, without so much as queching.8 I remember, in the beginning of Queen Elizabeth's time of England, an Irish rebel condemned, put up a petition to the Deputy that he might be hanged in a with, and not in an halter; because it had been so used with former rebels. There be monks in Russia, for penance, that will sit a whole night in a vessel of water, till they be engaged with hard ice. Many examples may be put of the force of custom,4 both upon mind and body. Therefore, since custom is the principal magistrate of man's life, let men by all means endeavour to obtain good customs. Certainly custom is most perfect when it beginneth in young years: this we call education; which is, in effect, but an early custom. So we see, in languages the tongue is more pliant to all expressions and sounds, the joints are more supple to all feats of activity and motions, in youth than afterwards. For it is true that late learners cannot so well take the ply; except it be in some minds that have not suffered themselves to fix, but have kept themselves open and prepared to receive continual amendment, which is exceeding rare. But if the force of custom simple and separate be great, the force of custom copulate and conjoined and collegiate is far greater. For there example teacheth, company comforteth, emulation quickeneth, glory raiseth: so as in such places the force of custom is in his exaltation. Certainly the great multiplication of virtues upon human nature1 resteth upon societies well ordained and disciplined. For commonwealths and good governments do nourish virtue grown, but do not much mend the seeds. But the misery is, that the most effectual means are now applied to the ends least to be desired.
1 The translation hasprima clnssis sicarii; (murderers of the first class): which seems to me to miss the meaning of the English. "Men of the first blood" must mean here, men whose hands have not been in blood before.
1 loquor de gymnosophistis, et veteribus et modernis.
'vix ejulatu ant gemitu ullo emisso. Qureh, according to Dr. Whately, means to move or stir.
* plane sttqiendas consuetudinis virti .... predentin.
XL. Of Fortune.
It cannot be denied, but outward accidents conduce much to fortune;2 favour,3 opportunity, death of others, occasion fitting virtue. But chiefly, the mould of a man's fortune is in his own hands. Faber quisque fortunes Sucp, saith the poet.1 And the most frequent of external causes is, that the folly of one man is the fortune of another. For no man prospers so suddenly as by others' errors. Serpens nisi serpentem comederit non fit draco. [A serpent must have eaten another serpent, before he can become a dragon.] Overt and apparent virtues bring forth praise; but there be secret and hidden virtues that bring forth fortune; certain deliveries of a man's self, which have no name. The Spanish name, desemboltura, partly expresseth them; when there be not stonds2 nor restiveness in a man's nature; but that the wheels of his mind keep way with the wheels of his fortune. For so Livy (after he had described Cato Major in these words, In illo viro tantum robur corporis et animi fuit, vt quocunque loco natus esset, fortunam sibi facturus videretur) [Such was his strength of body and mind, that wherever he had been born he coidd have made himself a fortune ;] falleth upon that, that he had versatile ingenium: [a wit that could turn well.] Therefore if a man look sharply and attentively, he shall see Fortune: for though she be blind, yet she is not invisible. The way of fortune is like the milken way in the sky; which is a meeting or knot of a number of small stars; not seen asunder, but giving light together. So are there a number of little and scarce discerned virtues, or rather faculties and customs, that make men fortunate. The Italians note some of them, such as a man would little think. When they speak of one that cannot do amiss, they will throw in into his other conditions, that he hath Poco di motto. And certainly there be not two more fortunate properties, than to have a little of the fool, and not too much of the honest. Therefore extreme lovers of their country or masters were never fortunate, neither can they be. For when a man placeth his thoughts without himself, he goeth not his own way. An hasty fortune maketh an enterpriser and remover; (the French hath it better, entreprenant, or remnant;) but the exercised fortune maketh the able man.1 Fortune is to be honoured and respected, and it be but for her daughters, Confidence and Reputation. For those two felicity breedeth; the first within a man's self, the latter in others towards him.2 All wise men, to decline the envy of their own virtues, use to ascribe them to Providence and Fortune; for so they may the better assume them:8 and, besides, it is greatness in a man to be the care of the higher powers. So Caesar said to the pilot in the tempest, Cmsarem portas, etfortunam ejus: [You carry Caesar and his fortune.] So Sylla chose the name of Felix, and not of Magnus. And it hath been noted, that those who ascribe openly too much to their own wisdom and policy, end infortunate. It is written that Timotheus the Athenian, after he had, in the account he gave to the state of his government, often interlaced this speech, and in this Fortune had no part, never prospered in any thing he undertook afterwards. Certainly there be, whose fortunes are like Homer's verses, that have a slide and easiness more than the verses of other poets; as Plutarch saith of Timoleon's fortune, in respect of that of Agesilaus or Epaminondas. And that this should be, no doubt it is much in a man's self.
1 muUi/Aicatio et {ut chymiarrum vocabulo utar) projectio super natural* humanam. 8 adfortunas promovendas vet deprimendas. 'gratia alicujiu ex magnatibus.
1 Fortuna prapropera magna molientes et nonnihil turbulentos reddit; ai fortuna exereita ea eft qua efficit jmidente* et cordatot. a The translation adds, Eaque vicimm pariunt animot et auctoritatem. * decentiut et liberiut eat sibi auumere.
XLI. Of Usury.
Many have made witty invectives against Usury. They say that it is a pity the devil should have God's part, which is the tithe. That the usurer is the greatest sabbath-breaker, because his plough goeth every Sunday. That the usurer is the drone that Virgil speaketh of;
Ignavum lucos pecus a prasepibus arcent.
That the usurer breaketh the first law that was made for mankind after the fall, which was, in sudore vultus tui cornedes panem tuum; not, in sudore vultus alieni; [in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread — not in the sweat of another's face.] That usurers should have orange-tawny bonnets, because they do judaize. That it is against nature for money to beget money; and the like. I say this only, that usury is a concessum propter duritiem cordis: [a thing allowed by reason of the hardness of men's hearts :] for since there must be borrowing and lending, and men are so hard of heart as they will not lend freely, usury must be permitted. Some others have made suspicious and cunning propositions of banks,1 discovery of men's estates, and other inventions. But few have spoken of usury usefully.2 It is good to set before us the incommodities and commodities of usury, that the good may be either

Individuals with an elevated low fat mass, and muscles bulk, had an increased level of dynamic vitamin D within the bloodstream.

SEA designers Monica Paolini and Sean Monahan want customers to feel and embody a sense of freedom and creativity through their designs. With an expansive collection and stocklist that incudes global retailers such as Barneys New York and an ever-growing Japanese fan base, how to progress and elevate each success collection is a continuous challenge for the design duo.
Having grown up together in Newburgh, New York, the pair began working together after Monahan moved back to New York. With experience working for Betsey Johnson and Jill Stuart, Paolini was able to flex her creative muscles autonomously. Producing collections that combine femininity, coolness, and optimism, their often modestly provocative designs have been embraced by a growing international fan base, with Japan representing one of the brand's largest markets.
Expecting a child when she was designing the Pre-Fall 2016 collection, Paolini decided to make clothes a woman could wear before, during, and after pregnancy. The resulting line up was a kaleidoscope of mixed materials and textures that exudes unconventional appeal. From lacey, patchwork-inspired tops to fringed outerwear with raw, unraveled accents and intricately embroidered, eyelet creations, the pieces are delicate with folksy undertones without being frilly. Distinctly girlish with touch of rebel, the label continues to find its way into women's closets and retailer inventories with wearable staples that stand up to the test of time.

The Do It Scared™ Podcast with Ruth Soukup provides weekly motivation, inspiration, and practical instruction for anyone tired of settling for "good enough." Each week we tackle topics like goal-setting, overcoming procrastination, finding the time, energy & know-how for accomplishing our dreams, and overcoming the obstacles that stand in our way. Don't miss an episode; subscribe here.
What do you do when you've worked your entire life to achieve something, only to realize it isn't what you really want?
Tasha Agruso, a self-proclaimed overachiever and my guest for Episode 14 of the Do It Scared™ Podcast, shows us that no matter how far you've gone down one path in your life, it's never too late to find a new one.
As a former medical malpractice attorney, Tasha harbored a secret passion for interior design. She eventually left law and turned her passion into a six-figure online business.
Tasha is now the founder of the wildly popular website Designer Trapped in a Lawyer's Body and the creator of the fantastic Designer in a Binder.
The journey to where she is today was not always easy. After Tasha's parents divorced, her mother struggled financially, but her dad, an attorney, didn't. The financial hardships she faced at her mom's house scared her. She was afraid of living a life where she didn't have enough and thought the secret to financial stability was a career in law, so she made it her mission to become an attorney.
The thing is, Tasha thought she had her life figured out. She eventually graduated from law school and made partner at her law firm. For many people, making partner would've been enough, but it wasn't. She couldn't silence the inner voice telling her that she was on the wrong path.
While at work, Tasha slowly created her blog, Designer Trapped in a Lawyer's Body. She wanted a place where friends and family could follow her design and house renovations. And, what started off as a fun hobby, sparked something in her. After 14 years of practicing law and the financial stability that came with it, she knew that she'd denied her passions long enough.
That's when she made a scary decision…
She walked away from her powerful career and dove headfirst into creating a life of her dreams.
In Episode 14 of the Do It Scared™ podcast, Tasha talks about changing career paths, and why overachieving isn't what it's cracked up to be. It will definitely make you laugh, make you think, and hopefully, spark new possibilities for you.

Here are my 5 favorite takeaways from her interview:
Embrace Change
Tasha will be the first to tell you that law wasn't fulfilling her. "I had always had this feeling, like this inner voice that told me I was not doing really what I was meant to do with my life." So she made a change. She chose happiness, left law, and never looked back.
We've all made decisions based on emotions, and for Tasha, she let fear guide her for long enough. She wanted to set an example for her children that "it isn't okay to choose unhappiness when there are other options out there." Happiness is a choice, and it is your choice to make. If you are stuck doing something that you don't love, then it's time to embrace change and choose happiness.
You Don't Have to Blaze Trails
There is nothing wrong with taking comfort in looking at how others have achieved success, and believing that you can do it too. "If you can find somebody, who has blazed that trail before you and find out what they did or find a mentor or somebody to guide you through it […]you can cut that learning curve and take the fear out of it a lot, too." Seek people that are doing something that you admire, and ask them questions. Try and learn what they did on their path to success. It will help you envision your own way to a life you would love.
Be Your Own Cheerleader
You don't have to have it all figured out. Sometimes you just need to start. We all have self-doubt that tries to stop us from doing something… but there comes a time where your inner cheerleader and inner confidence needs to drown out your self-doubt so that you can make a change. Tasha experienced a lot of conflict about pursuing her passion, but her optimism was louder, telling her that "you can do this other thing, and you can do it well, and you can really rock it out and be happier."
Not Everyone Is Nice
Not every lesson we learn is easy, and for Tasha, experiencing negativity in blogging was one of the hardest things for her. Despite the negativity, if anything, it really underscored who she wants to be. "I'm still happy to be a cheerleader […] (even though) not everyone is going to be cheering me on."
Through Elite Blog Academy®, Tasha was able to silence the loneliness she felt in her new career path and come together with a group of really positive, like-minded individuals, who have kept her accountable and gave her confidence enough to launch her latest product, Designer in a Binder.
There Will Never Be A Perfect Time
Circumstances will never be perfect; sometimes you just have to do it. That is something Tasha has carried through to every aspect of her life. From starting a family to changing careers to launching her own products. As a perfectionist, it was hard for her to come to grips that there's never going to be a 100% perfect time, so you just have to make the leap and do it!
These are just some of the highlights from this episode, but there is SO much more to hear! You can listen to the entire episode on iTunes HERE or on Google Play HERE. Visit doitscared.com for show notes from this episode, and never miss a new episode by subscribing on iTunes.

Mind Matters.
Have you ever wondered how toddlers view the world? I'm 21 months old right now and I'm starting to get really curious about the world around me and how I fit into it. I don't have the ability per se to understand anything bigger than my direct experience – but I love to explore the world! Also, I may not be able to ask my parents a million questions (yet!) but I know the day will come where I certainly will! Right now, I fill it with my own imagination which – by the way – is a wonderful place!
Below are some of my developmental milestones (age 2) on how I see the world:
- I still think that my parents know what I'm thinking (because they are my super hero's!)
- I easily mix up reality and fantasy, so sometimes my own imagination can certainly frighten me
- Everything I see is real, what happens on TV actually happens (Elmo is real!)
You know , children and adults see the world in fundamentally different ways…but that's not say that one's better than the other! We just have the passion to get out there to discover the world!

Everything you thought you knew about budget deficits is wrong
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
Politicians pay such frantic lip service to "America's debt" that it's become common knowledge that rising budget deficits can put the economy at imminent risk.
Except, in this case, the conventional wisdom is dead wrong, according to a new paper presented at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's annual Jackson Hole symposium.
"Even in countries with high public debt, the penalty for activist discretionary fiscal policy appears to be small," wrote Alan J. Auerbach and Yuriy Gorodnichenko, economists from the University of California, Berkeley.
It's not that governments should spend willy-nilly at all times. But there's strong evidence that targeted spending boosts aimed at generating jobs and economic activity in the short-run can have a self-fulfilling positive momentum, which itself generates more growth.
Auerbach and Gorodnichenko are unequivocal.
"The Great Recession and the Global Financial Crisis have left many developed countries with low interest rates and high levels of public debt, thus limiting the ability of policymakers to fight the next recession," they argue.
"Whether new fiscal stimulus programs would be jeopardized by these already heavy public debt burdens is a central question. For a sample of developed countries, we find that government spending shocks do not lead to persistent increases in debt-to-GDP ratios or costs of borrowing, especially during periods of economic weakness. Indeed, fiscal stimulus in a weak economy can improve fiscal sustainability along the metrics we study."
The findings fly in the face of economic arguments favoring fiscal austerity, including those backed by a famous and controversial paper written by Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff of Harvard University.
That research was controversial in part because a graduate student later uncovered a basic spreadsheet error that undermined a key finding of the paper — that government debt levels in excess of 90% of annual output of gross domestic product started to create problems for nations.
Critics also say Reinhart and Rogoff's findings were used to back flawed agendas of steep economic austerity not only in Europe but also in the United States at a time when fiscal policy should have arguably been pushing hard against a deep recession, just as was the case for central banks and monetary policy.
A restrictive fiscal policy was in part to blame for the historic weakness of the global economic recovery.

After a few years of marriage, are you noticing all your days pass by just like a routine? Is it as if you are just existing to survive each day, looking after the family and just doing what is expected out of you? Is there no excitement and fun left in the bond you share with your husband/wife? Is your marriage on the rocks and inches away from collapsing? If your answer to all these questions is yes, then, my friend, you are stuck in a loveless marriage.
Why does a marriage become loveless?
It is true that with time, the perception married couples have about love changes. Instead of the early stages of passion and intimacy, the relationship gets characterised by strong bonds of care and respect. But in certain cases, love disappears forever. Here are some causes which make a marriage loveless:
- The relationship might have taken a backseat in the couple's lives, so they fail to give time to each other and forget to appreciate one another
- The couple is not able to come to terms with the differences they have in terms of their preferences, dreams, personalities and end up drifting apart
- Some specific incidents like a major fight might have triggered feelings of resentment towards each other, which the couple is not able to resolve
Some couples accept these causes and work hard to improve the status of their relationship, while some others just accept their fate and continue living with such a miserable relationship or go their separate ways.
10 signs you are in a loveless marriage
There are many of us who look like ideal couples on the face but are actually stuck in loveless marriages for the sake of society. Such couples live bitter lives, and indulge in extramarital affairs to satisfy their need for love and affection. However, the right thing to do is to work on your marriage, put the differences aside and strive to make it better everyday with little things. It is not easy, but is definitely worth a shot.
Getting to know what characterises a loveless marriage will give you the opportunity to make a decision about the future course of your relationship. So we bring to you 10 tell-tale signs which will help you realise whether you are in an unhappy marriage or not.
1. There is a huge communication gap between the two of you
As a couple, both of you are expected to share your opinions and thoughts with each other on a daily basis. But if you both are failing to do so, then there is a huge communication gap which needs to be addressed. Not talking to each other, just working on your respective projects, watching television to avoid each other or having regular disagreements on various issues: If your relationship is going through these things, then there is definitely something amiss.
2. You both are not physically comfortable with one another
Gone are the days when you used to express your love for each other without any inhibitions. You used to hold hands, kiss each other or cuddle. But now, you will notice that you both are not physically comfortable around each other. The idea of having sex with your partner makes you feel awkward and vice versa because your marriage has turned into a sexless marriage. Intimacy has become so rare in your married life that you fail to connect with your spouse any more. However, you should know that lack of intimacy in your relationship is not just affecting your marriage, but you too.
3. Your partner continuously criticises you
For any mistake (no matter how small), you have to bear the harsh criticisms coming from your partner. He/she will make you feel horrible by highlighting your defects. Instead of helping you become a better person, the continuous criticisms from your spouse will demoralise you and will hamper the bond that you share with him/her. If you were in a happy relationship, then your partner would give constructive advice and not discourage you with harsh comments.
4. You are finding happiness outside marriage
This means you are either spending time on your own and enjoying what life has to offer you, or you are getting attracted to another person. This other person is someone with whom you are able to connect and who respects you more than your spouse. You might be having an emotional affair with that person without even realising it. An emotional affair takes place when you share all your deep dark secrets with someone outside your marriage, that too comfortably.
5. Fights do not characterise your relationship
When a couple of fights, it means there is a connection that they have and that they care for each other. After the reconciliation, the couple is able to experience new bonds of love and respect in the relationship. But if your married life is devoid of fights, then there is something wrong. It shows that you both do not care any more and do not have any intention of saving your relationship.

6. You both fail to appreciate each other
The blame game has become a common phenomenon in your married life. For any problem that you face, you both start blaming each other instead of finding a solution together. Nothing you do makes your spouse happy and vice versa. The mutual feelings of appreciation have been lost in the relationship and you both start taking each other for granted. Sometimes, you might feel that only you are making efforts to make the relationship work.
7. You hardly care about your responsibilities towards your partner
There comes a point in your loveless marriage when you hardly care about your responsibilities towards your partner. You do not keep track of what your spouse wants to eat, what he/she likes or dislikes, what he/she wants to do, etc. You just start caring about your needs, likes and dislikes and you might not even feel ashamed to shun your responsibilities. Your spouse can exhibit this same behaviour as well. You both become selfish in the relationship.
8. A future without your spouse seems more positive to you
It will become obvious to you that you are unhappy in your loveless marriage when you start thinking about a future without your spouse. If you start thinking about a life in which your husband/wife has no role to play, then it means you feel imprisoned in your relationship and you want to escape the clutches of such a marriage. Your partner might also feel the same.
9. Spending time with your partner seems awkward to you
You dread the times when you have to spend time with your partner all alone. Given a chance, you would love to spend your free time with either your family members or friends, rather than being awkward around your husband/wife. Both of you even stop making efforts to plan dates or mini-vacations, because being with each other is the thing you both want to avoid the most.
10. Deep down in your heart, you know your marriage is loveless
Even though you keep telling yourself that all is well in your marriage, your heart knows your true feelings. Your gut feeling will give you all the assurance that your marriage is lacking love and affection. Listening to your heart is probably the smartest move on your part.
Those of you who are in an unhappy and lacklustre marriage have the following options to choose from:
- You can keep feeling miserable and continue being in that loveless relationship
- Both of you can make efforts to work things out by either confronting one another or taking the help of a therapist
- Or last but not least, you can try to move on and get a divorce to find happiness elsewhere
The decision will ultimately depend on what you truly feel about the relationship and whether you think there is a possibility to instil love in the relationship once again. So think carefully

The Ultimate Guide to Sake
Learn everything you need to know about sake, from the vocabulary terms associated with it to how to drink the Japanese beverage, with our helpful guide to sake.
Sake, sometimes denoted saké or referred to as Japanese rice wine, is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice. In Japan, sake refers to alcohol in general, whereas sake refers specifically to rice wine in countries outside of Japan.
Regardless of what you call it, the Japanese drink sake; or nihonshu, at holidays, special gatherings, and extravagant ceremonies; is similar to what Americans do with champagne.
Since you might be coming across sake soon in a local bar or Japanese restaurant as the sake fad further proliferates, it's important that you know more about this trendy adult beverage.
For that reason, let's discuss the history of sake, important terms related to sake you should know, the types of sake out there, how sake is made, and how to serve and consume sake, all wrapped up into our Ultimate Guide to Sake.
The Brief History of Sake
Remembering that sake in Japan refers to alcohol on a broad scale, sake as we know it outside of Japan can still be understood through its history.
Before we get started on the history of sake, sake doesn't just mean different things from the Japanese to the rest of the world (general alcohol versus rice wine); it can also refer to different things in different parts of Japan.
For example, sake was distilled from potatoes in former Southern Kyoto while it was distilled from sugar beets in Okinawa. However, today, sake is most often created from long types of rice.
When backtracking the origins of sake, there are actually two theories:
- Sake began in China in 4800 B.C. around the region of the river Yangtze, and shortly spread to Japan.
- Sake originated in the third century in Japan.
Regardless of where it started, we know that the beverage was, at first, produced in Japan for families and wealthier villages. As sake become more known, mass production became centered especially around present-day Kobe, still often consumed by the upper class.
It wasn't until around the 1300s that the mass production of sake in Japan made the beverage one of the most important drinks of the country. In fact, sake soon became (and still is) the national drink of Japan.
By the time Japan's Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century came into play, the automation and mass production of sake grew even larger. In the twentieth century, the canvas bags originally used to squeeze yeast, koji mixture, and rice mash were often replaced with presses so that sake production became more mainstream.
As World World II rolled around, so did a rice shortage. Due to this shortage, the brewing process of sake was altered. To improve production and the brewing time, alcohol and glucose were added to the rice mash of sake.
Through the history of sake in Japan and the different methods of its production over the centuries, sake has been and still continues to be a crucial component of Japanese tradition, often signifying gathering and celebration.

- Koji: Cultured mold or fungus on steamed rice often used for fermentation
- Shubo: 'Mother of sake;' a mash composed of rice, water, and koji
- Fermentation (moromi): Chemical breakdown of microorganisms; what the rice in sake goes through during production
Types of Sake
- Junmai shu: Pure rice sake; no added ethyl alcohol
- Honjozo shu: Sake with a small amount of ethyl alcohol
- Ginjo shu: Sake with rice that's polished no more than 60 percent of its remains
- Daiginjo shu: Ginjo shu sake with rice polished no more than 50 percent of its remains

How Sake Is Made
The most important part of sake production is its main ingredient: brown rice. Premium sake (all honjozo and junmai sake) is instead made with a special sake rice.
After the rice is harvested by farmers, it is hung and then later goes through a machine to remove the grains from the stems.
The rice kernels are then polished, or milled. The rice polishing ratio will depend on the type of sake produced.
Once the rice has been polished, the rice will be left to sit for about two weeks before it is washed and soaked, until the rice/water content reaches approximately 30 percent. After this process, the rice will be steamed, neither too much nor too little.
Once steamed, the rice will be cooled and moved onto the koji process, which is then followed by the shubo process, and then lastly, the fermentation process. Fermenting sake can take around 20 to 40 days, depending on the type of sake being made.
After fermentation, there are many other processes that occur before it can finally be served:
- Pressing
- Filtering
- Pasteurization #1
- Storing and maturing
- Diluting
- Pasteurization #2
- Bottling
With the lengthy and intricate sake brewing, it's no wonder why sake is so treasured in Japan! Fortunately for you, there are ways to make traditional sake in your own home.
How to Prepare and Serve Sake
One of the most important things to know before ordering sake is that different types of sake are often consumed at different temperatures. For instance, some types may taste best slightly warm or room temperature, whereas others may have their best flavor when drank cold.
It's recommended that junmai sake is served at room temperature or slightly chilled due to its high acidity. Premium sake, such as ginjo, are usually served warm. However, everyone may have a different idea of what tastes best.
For that reason, use your taste buds to guide your decision, or ask your server or bartender how a certain type of sake would best taste served.
Tips for Preparing Sake
- Warmed sake is best at just a pinch above the normal human body temperature. Serve at 100 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 to 45 degrees Celcius).
- Refrain from making your rice wine too hot or too cold, especially repeatedly. This may distort the flavor and aroma of your beverage.
- Never heat your sake directly or too quickly (e.g., in the microwave). Slow and steady is key.
- If you want to chill your sake quickly without ruining the taste, wrap a wet cloth around the bottle, and place it in the freezer for about 20 minutes. (Don't forget about it!) You might instead wish to place it in an ice chest to cool it down.
- After opening a bottle of sake, keep the bottle out of direct light. For storage, place it in the refrigerator at 68 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Refrigerated sake should be drunk within the next few days.
- Sake that is left out should be finished within two to three hours.
How to Serve Sake
It should come as no surprise that a drink with such a strong tradition and extensive production process should be revered, which is why there is a method behind learning how to drink sake the right way.
- Always pour sake for others, never for yourself.
- The server who's pouring sake from a larger serving container or tokkuri should hold it with both hands.
- Those you're serving to should hold their tiny sake cup (called an ochoko, guinomi, choko, or sakazuki; there are different styles/shapes of sake cups for different sakes) with both hands as well.'
- Tasting sake should be like tasting wine, taken in sips rather than quickly downed.
Sake, rice wine, or nihonshu is a beloved alcoholic beverage; however, many are unfamiliar with its background. From the history of sake to the terms associated with it to how it's made, prepared, and served, sake of all types is still closely linked with its Japanese roots.
After reading through our guide to sake, you'll be pretty much a sake expert. Now, all that's left is for your taste buds to experience the different flavors various sakes have to offer.
