Sake – often misunderstood, but a delicious and unique fermented rice beverage full of history that is getting more and more attention as time goes by.

We are firm believers in the idea that the more you know about something, the more you can get out of it – be that professionally or personally. That’s why we offer three different sake courses – whether you want to further your career or simply want to learn more about sake we’re here to help. In addition, we also include free access to our own exclusively developed study guides for those taking any of the WSET courses.

Purchasing one of our courses as a gift? They’ll love you forever! Please make sure you let us know their details after purchase (first & last names, date of birth & email address). They will need to be registered to take the exam at the end. They won’t be sent anything until a couple of weeks before the course, so the surprise won’t be spoiled - don’t worry!

Our Range of Sake Courses

We offer sake courses from The Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) & Sake Sommelier Association (SSA) – two of the world’s leading and best-known providers of sake education.
