Course details

This new intermediate-level course is for those entering a profession in the industry as well as for enthusiasts who wish to broaden their knowledge in a structured way. You will learn how to confidently describe, as accurately as possible, what the named products you have studied taste like. You will also become a competent and confident sake taster and start the journey of learning the links between aroma, taste and touch to the theory of production.

Prerequisite: None.

WSET Level 2 Award in Sake covers the main categories of sake styles and examines the influences of production methods on the different styles available in each category, building on the introductory knowledge gained with the WSET Level 1 Award in Sake. Throughout the course, you’ll develop analytical tasting skills while exploring the sake style and quality.

This 16-hour course provides fundamental product knowledge and systematic tasting skills. Expect to spend an additional 12 hours on preparation and review outside of the classroom.

Upon successful completion of a 1-hour multiple-choice exam, you will receive a WSET certificate and lapel pin and will be able to use the associated WSET certified logo.

The course will be delivered by IWEG's Certified WSET Sake Lead Educator and Sake Samurai, Michael Tremblay.

All WSET textbooks and study guides are in an eBook format.
