"Officially" Announcing: The 2009 Sake Professional Course
to be held in Tokyo, January 26-30, 2009

A five-day, intensive sake course, replete with comprehensive lectures, directly applicable tasting sessions, and certification testing. No sake stone will be left unturned! 

Message: August 20, 2008

Thanks to everyone's help, the 2nd Stateside Sake Professional Course went off without a hitch in  San Francisco, this past August 10 to 12, 2008, as did the subsequent Level I Sake Specialist Certification Test . The next course will be held in Japan, and the next stateside version in New York next summer. Those interested can find out more at the link above or by emailing me.

Also, do not forget to check out the several do-it-yerself sake education products, soon to be bolstered, in the Sake-World eStore, which offers various digital content for immediate download.
