3-days Intensive Course!

If you’re keen to explore the world of sake, then WSET’s new Level 2 Award in Sake could be the right course for you.
It is intended for anyone wishing to learn about the different styles of sake and how they are made, as well as those seeking to build on the introductory knowledge gained with the WSET Level 1 Award in Sake.

The WSET Level 2 Award in Sake focuses on how the ingredients used by brewers are processed and combined to create the many different styles of sake. It will also teach you how to describe and assess the quality of the sakes you taste.

If you are a sake or hospitality professional, you’ll be able to offer valuable guidance on selection and service to your colleagues and customers. If you are a sake enthusiast, you’ll know exactly what to look for when choosing sakes for any occasion.

Upon passing the certification exam, you will receive WSET certification and badge. The exam consists of 50 multiple choice questions (four options each). There is no tasting.

※Textbooks will be sent out in advance when the course start is confirmed.

※ The exam will be held on the third day of the course
