Become a Sake Sommelier

The only official Certified Sake Sommelier qualification in the world!

Widely recognised within the sake world, the Certified Sake Sommelier is a fantastic way to further expand your career in the sake service industry.

This 2-day course covers the broader aspects of the sake industry, including how to work with sake, from introducing it to customers, to storage and purchasing. We also delve into the science of Umami; and taste a multitude of different sake. All students who pass will receive their Certified Sake Sommelier qualification - recognised globally in the Food & Beverage industry for its high standards - and a sommelier lapel pin.

Sake Sommeliers will be eligible to attend the London Sake Challenge and other Regional Sake Challenges as tasting judges as well as enter the coveted Sake Sommelier of the Year competition.

USE OF PROFESSIONAL TITLE AND TERMINOLOGY —
You may not, legally or ethically, use the title “Sake Sommelier” 酒ソムリエ unless you have passed the Certified Sake Sommelier® examination and have been duly awarded this professional certification by the Sake Sommelier Association (SSA), who solely confer this title.

For the avoidance of doubt, and with reference to the Sake Service Institute (SSI), Japan; any qualification earned from the International Kikisake-shi 唎酒師 class provided by SSI (or any trainer or affiliated provider of theirs) confers the title “International Kikisake-Shi”, (with a literal translation of sake specialist or sake tasting instructor/teacher); it does not confer the title “Sake Sommelier” nor "Certified Sake Sommelier", as this is awarded solely by the Sake Sommelier Association (SSA).
