WSET Level 3.
Sake is a historically important beverage category that is both interesting and complex to study, just like wine, beer and spirits. Level 3 is divided into 15 different parts that together give you a complete overview of sake, its manufacturing process and area of use. Please note that the course is in English.
After completing the course (WSET Level 3 Award in Sake) and passing the examination, you will receive a diploma and a pin to show your knowledge.

Get started today, the course is recorded! You can therefore take your course with the associated test at home with your company or alone, in peace and quiet. Theory and associated quizzes are added to test your newly acquired knowledge.
Åke and Fixi at Akebono Unlimited talk about the history of sake, production and styles.
How do you distinguish e.g. on a Junmai Daiginjo, Junmai Shu or Taru Sake? How does the brewing process work and which Sake is served with which food? The course also includes two recipes created by chef Albin Edberg that should give you an understanding of how to think when combining Sake with food!
