    We’re thrilled to announce our latest graduate of We’re thrilled to announce our latest graduate of the Master of Sake course, Melvin @melvindsua at Hatsumomidi Brewery @hatsumomidi.222 🎉 Melvin is the first participant from the Philippines to join the course. While running a wine business, he visited Japan and discovered sake, instantly becoming captivated by its charm. He had explored sake through theory and tastings, but it wasn’t enough. Seeking a deeper understanding, he joined this course for hands-on experience in sake brewing for 2 months. Congratulations, Melvin! 🎉 We’d like to thank our partners at Hatsumomidi Brewery in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan 🇯🇵, who shared their passion and knowledge during the Master of Sake program and guided Melvin every step of the way! Founded in 1819, they’ve been brewing for over 200 years and have continuously dedicated themselves to the art of sake production, earning numerous awards along the way. Our Master of Sake program is a tailor-made, focused apprenticeship at a sake brewery, providing an insider’s view of the ancient sake brewing process as well as how a modern brewery operates. The course is offered with select brewery partners in Japan, and in English with @zenkurosake in New Zealand 🇳🇿. Melvin Sua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 🎉 Melvinは、フィリピン初のMaster of Sakeコースに受講者です。ワインビジネスを経営する中で日本を訪れ、日本酒と出会った瞬間、その魅力に強く惹かれました。これまで理論やテイスティングを通して日本酒について学んできましたが、それだけでは満足できず、実践で日本酒をより深く理解するため、今回のコースに参加しました。 山口県のはつもみぢ酒造の皆様 🇯🇵Master of SakeプログラムでMelvinを温かく迎え、惜しみなく情熱と知識を共有してくださったことに、心から感謝申し上げます。1819年創業、200年以上にわたり酒造りに取り組む同蔵は、日本酒造りの技術と芸術に力を注ぎ、数々の受賞歴を誇ります。 『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。
