Course Introduction

WSET's Level 2 Award in Sake is a beginner- to intermediate-level qualification exploring sake, suitable for industry professionals and sake enthusiasts.

This qualification 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.

What you'll learn

  • How to taste sake, describe their characteristics and evaluate their quality, using the WSET Level 2 Systematic Approach to Tasting Sake® (SAT)
  • The ingredients that brewers are required to use and the ones they can choose. We also cover the varieties of rice that are used to make sake.
  • How steamed white rice and kōji (a type of fungus used for fermentation) are made and how different styles of sake require rice with different polishing ratios and different styles of kōji.
  • Explore all of the main techniques that are used from fermentation starter to dilution and packaging and how different choices are made when making the different styles of sake.
  • Common labelling terms, including how some of the most important ones are written in Japanese.
