    Congratulations to Laura @thesakecat, our latest g Congratulations to Laura @thesakecat, our latest graduate of the Master of Sake course! 🎉 Laura, a UK-based private chef, ran a restaurant in Hong Kong for over 10 years. During a pop-up in Hokkaido, she fell in love with Japanese culture and sake. Since then, her passion for Japanese cuisine and sake has grown, leading her to join the course this time. As a Certified Sake Sommelier®, she also judged the inaugural Tokyo Sake Challenge in March. A huge thank you to our partner Yamamoto Honke Brewery yamamotohonke_official for hosting and training Laura! Founded in 1667, Yamamoto Honke has been dedicated to brewing the highest quality sake, enriching people's lives, and making the most of the pure spring water from the local mountains. 🍶 The Master of Sake is a focused apprenticeship at one of our partner sake breweries, offering an in-depth study of the ancient art of sake brewing while gaining firsthand insight into how a modern brewery operates. The course is available in Japan 🗾 with selected sake brewery partners and in English with @zenkurosake 🇳🇿. @thesakecatが『Master of Sake (マスター・オブ・酒)®』コースを修了いたしました！おめでとうございます 🎉 Lauraは、イギリス人のプライベートシェフで、彼女はかつて香港で10年以上にわたりレストランを経営し、北海道で短期間の店を出店。その際に、日本と日本酒の奥深い魅力に強く惹かれたと言います。以来、日本食と日本酒への情熱を深め、今回、このコースに参加しました。また、「酒ソムリエ（Certified Sake Sommelier®）」の資格保持者でもある彼女は、東京で初めて開催された日本酒の品評会「Tokyo酒チャレンジ」にも審査員として参加しました。 今回、SSA研修生の受け入れをして下さった[神聖]山本本家@yamamotohonke_officialに深く感謝いたします。[神聖]山本本家は、京都伏見に位置する老舗酒蔵、300年以上にわたり酒造を行っています。その歴史は、伏見の名水「白菊水」と京の食文化、そして受け継がれた伝統の技と共に美酒を育み、高い品格の清酒をお届けしています。『シンガポール酒チャレンジ』での金賞受賞や、海外での評価の高さも、その品質の証しです。 『Master of Sake (マスター・オブ・酒)®』は、伝統的な酒造りを学び、醸造家を育成することを目的とした資格取得コースです。オンラインの事前研修から始まり、実際に酒醸造所で蔵人と2ヵ月間過ごすことで、日本の歴史や文化、地域と風土、自然に触れ、杜氏や蔵人たちの技と熱意を学び、日本酒の理解を深めます。開催は、厳選されたSSAの酒蔵パートナ―、英語のコースも@zenkuroで開催中です。 #MasterofSake #SakeMaster #SakeBrewery #SakeBrewer #BrewersCourse #BrewerTraining #SakeTraining

Contact us for more info この度、Andreさんが「Advanced Sake Sommelier® (酒ソムリエ上級)」の資格を取得されました。おめでとうございます！ Andreを温かく迎え入れ、日本酒醸造の奥深い世界へと導いてくださった藤居酒造@fujii_shuzo_oitaに特別な感謝を申し上げます。 1872年に創業した藤居酒造は、約150年にわたり、伝統と大分の清らかな水、自然の恵みを融合させて酒を造り続けています。SDGsと地域社会への貢献に対する姿勢が、藤居酒造の酒を一層特別なものにしています。 「Advanced Sake Sommelier®（酒ソムリエ上級）」コースは、訪日前の事前研修から始まり準備を整えます。酒蔵内での実践研修を通じて日本酒醸造の各工程の深い理解を得て、酒蔵外での活動では「テロワール」を体感し、酒蔵の歴史や日本酒が日本文化・伝統とどのように結びついているのかを学びます。　歴史ある日本の酒蔵で実施される資格取得プログラムは、地域で使用される米の精米から、特に重要な「麹室」での作業を通じて、日本酒造りの核心に触れ、その魅力と奥深さを五感で学びます。また、酒蔵の地域の風土が日本酒に与える影響「テロワール」を感じ取りながら、酒蔵が地域社会や日本酒業界全体で果たす役割を理解します。教室を超えたこの実体験による研修は、人生に一度の貴重な機会となるでしょう。
