This New Year we're looking at Japan's 🇯🇵 traditional sake for the New Year's celebrations: O-toso 🍶

O-toso is a blend of sake with a unique, distinct flavour that is specially produced using a mix of herbs & spices 🫚 O-toso is believed to remove bad luck and give good health - perfect for looking into the new year 🎉

The team at the Sake Sommelier Association wishes you the best for the New Year 🎊

Kampai!

We recently had the wonderful opportunity to host

We recently had the wonderful opportunity to host our Advance Sake Sommelier course in the picturesque region of Tottori, Japan 🗾

Lets give a huge congratulations to Mr. Alan and Mr. Yi, for achieving the prestigious Advance Sake Sommelier Qualification🎉

Thanks to our incredible partners at Chiyomusubi Sake Brewery @chiyomusubi, for their warm hospitality & their guidance - their knowledge & passion for sake is truly invaluable 💫

Yi, a Sake Distributor from Australia is excited to bring back everything he learnt to help elevate sake culture back home.
Alan, a Senior Food & Beverage Instructor from Singapore, came with a strong passion for sake, and left with a new level of expertise that he hopes will inspire others.
Their preparation before traveling to Japan gave them valuable insights both within the brewery, and outside they engaged in extracurricular activities that highlighted the TERROIR, helping them understand the history of the brewery and how sake is deeply connected to Japanese culture👏

Set in a historical operational sake brewery, this is a rare opportunity to get hands on, dive deep into the sake brewing process. Students get an insider look at each step of the process, and gain a true sense of the role these breweries play in their local community and the wider sake industry.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, designed to deepen your connection and understanding of sake in a way that transcends the classroom.
For those ready to take their sake knowledge to the next level, this is for you!

この度、YiさんとAlan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！🎉

鳥取県の美しい風景に囲まれた中で、SSAの素晴らしいパートナーである千代むすび酒造 @chiyomusubi のご協力を得て、「Advanced Sake Sommelier® (酒ソムリエ上級)」コースを開催しました。岡空様をはじめとする蔵の皆様には、温かいおもてなしと共に、日本酒醸造の奥深い世界へと導いていただきましたこと、心から感謝申し上げます。その技術・知識とお酒に対する情熱は、参加者にとって貴重な体験となりました。💫

YiさんとAlanさんは、訪日前の事前研修を通じて準備を整え、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した。👏

「Advanced Sake Sommelier®（酒ソムリエ上級）」コースは、歴史ある日本の酒蔵で実施される資格取得プログラムです。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。

🎄✨ Merry Christmas from the Sake Sommelier A

THE TIME HAS COME! INTERNATIONAL SAKE SOMMELIER

THE TIME HAS COME!

INTERNATIONAL SAKE SOMMELIER DAY

25 years since we first taught Sake to Sommeliers - time flies when passion lights the way; we’re thrilled to add a new date to our calendars: April 4th 2025 will be the first ever International Sake Sommelier Day!
Every year on April 4th, Sake Sommeliers around the world will toast to their achievements under the beauty of the cherry blossom trees!

On the anniversary of our first course; International Sake Sommelier Day aims to recognise the tireless work of Sake Sommeliers and their efforts to share this wonderful drink with their communities across the world!

Xavier Chapelou, co-founder of the SSA, spoke of the goal:
“Becoming a Sake Sommelier takes determination, dedication and no small amount of skill! We felt it was time to commemorate their hard work and honour their service to the sake industry”. With Sake Sommelier courses now available across 6 continents, our mission to teach the world about sake is well on track!

Keep an eye out for our International Sake Sommelier Day next year and share our event worldwide to celebrate your favourite Sake Sommelier experiences with us! Kampai!
