The 15 quest steps

1. 1Talk to the Apprentice Brewer

   Dialogue[21,-26] · Apprentice Brewer

   The quest starts when the Apprentice Brewer invites you to taste a new fermented drink. The Pandawas are trying to revive forgotten brews: he offers you a taste of Shaké, made from fermented rice milk.

3. 3Meet Arumichi

   Dialogue[20,-25] · Arumichi

   At the Shaké distillery, tell Arumichi you come on behalf of his apprentice. A refined drink of the primitive Pandawas and the spirits' favorite offering, Shaké was forgotten when brewing anything other than bamboo milk became sacrilege. Only the Daimya could restore it to favor, but she refuses to receive him: offer to be her emissary. He must first make a Shaké worthy of her.

The quest does not unlock any other quest, but Arumichi now sells Shaké and High-Fermentation Shaké, at [20,-25], in lots of 1 or 10, at the same price: one Pandawushu Artefact of each element (Water, Wind, Roc, Fire, Wood) per Shaké. Shaké gives the Fifth Flavour effect, -200 Initiative for 10 fights; High-Fermentation Shaké gives the Sixth Flavour effect, -400 Initiative for 10 fights. The two do not stack: the second erases the first. It is part of the achievement Tears of Stone.
