First, I want to specify that my ultimate goal is not necessarily to become a bartender or mixologist. However, I recently became interested in brewing my own sake or shochu. While I found plenty of guides on the subject, I found myself wanting to know exactly what certain terms meant, how flavors work, etc so that I may eventually perfect my brew.
I am internet-savvy, but I seem to only find either bare-boned guides on brewing, or only some niche sources. I will peruse multiple sources if it comes to it, but I was hoping there was a book or website that sort of laid everything out regarding what I am looking for. Any help and references is much appreciated!
