Anna has been interested in wine since she was little, always keen to try whatever her parents were drinking. She became interested in sake after trying premium daiginjo-sake for the first time, researching a drinks' column for an ex-pat magazine in Japan. Surprised by the tropical fruit flavours weaned by the brewers from rice, she has been keen to spread the word ever since.
Interested in all drinks, she has brewed beer and makes infused spirits in her free time. Anna is also a keen traveller; having worked and lived in Japan, Syria, The West Bank and Nepal, she is always excited to learn about different cultures, food and drink! She usually lives in London, England but is currently living in Kampala, Uganda.
