SSI (Sake Service Institute) was founded in 1990 to educate and provide an international
standard that improves and establishes Sake as a globally recognised product.
With demand for Japan’s national alcoholic beverage increasing, through educational
campaigns, SSI aims to diffuse and expand Japanese Sake, while continuing to influence,
inherit and propel relevant industries.
The SSI has been providing the official Kikisake-shi (Sake Specialist) course, Shochu
Kikisake-shi and higher certificate in Sake and Shochu education course for over 30 years.
