A fascinating insight into this mysterious drink. I highly recommend the course to any lover of Japan and its culture.
I attended a virtual Sake session last night: it was great. We learned all about sake: how it’s made, where it’s made, history etc – full of facts and anecdotes. I really enjoyed the course – will definitely be buying some sake to share my newfound knowledge with my family and would definitely do an online session again. It was a lot of fun.
The course definitely opened up my eyes to the world of sake and I look forward to more learning and tasting.
The Sake Educators passion for Japanese culture and sake made this course very enjoyable. I now appreciate and enjoy sake much more and can’t wait to continue learning when the next course.
