[kikisake-shi] course
Our love for Japanese culture continues to increase.
Over the last ten years, there has been an explosion in Japanese culture and cuisine. From healthy lunches or nights out, to exhibitions, imports and technology — as a nation we can’t seem to get enough of Japan.
You can be a part of this incredible uplift in the love for Japanese culture and train to become a Kikisake-shi — an essential advisor and curator to the ever-increasing number of sake consumers and enthusiasts.
Why enrol?
Our International Kikisake-shi course is available, and indeed suitable, for enthusiasts, amateurs, professionals, and wine sommeliers.
By taking this course, we will professionally equip you with the knowledge that enables you to advise sake to customers around the world. And, of course, the ability to speak Japanese is not essential!
The course
Our courses run up to four times each year and are in a classroom environment.
To provide the best learning conditions, and individual attention to each student, we limit places to twenty on each course.
A final exam will follow three sessions of learning and tutoring.
