    Did You Know? 👀 Did you know the design behind o Did You Know? 👀 Did you know the design behind our famous Introductory Sake Professional lapel badge? The Introductory course’s badge is inspired by two key ways to enjoy sake: an ochoko and a masu 🍶 An ochoko is a small traditional cup used for drinking sake. Its compact size isn’t just charming — it invites thoughtful sipping and turns every pour into an act of hospitality 🙇‍♀️ A masu was originally a square box used to measure one portion of rice; and these were often made of woods with antibacterial properties. Nowadays masu are largely used as another form of drinking vessel for sake, poured until the moment that the sake might overflow from the box 💠 At the Sake Sommelier Association, we’ve honoured these traditions by designing our Introductory Sake Professional (ISP) badge to combine the shapes of an ochoko, a masu, and our logo — a symbol of the journey into the world of sake 🌟 The Introductory Sake Professional is the very step in our line of Sake Sommelier course. It introduces everything from sake’s origins & culture to ingredients, production, tasting, and serving etiquette. This shorter course offers hands-on learning, guided tastings of fantastic sake, and students who pass earn their certificate and the lapel badge to proudly show their new qualification - your first step into the sake world 🌸 Start your sake journey with us — one ochoko at a time! #SakeSommelier #IntroductorySakeProfessional #SSA #SakeLovers #SakeEducation #Ochoko #Masu #JapaneseTradition #LearnSake #SakeCup #SakeJourney #Sakesommeliers #SakeSommelierAssociation #SakeProfessional
