BECOME A SAKE EXPERT!

With the expansion of the Japanese food industry, customer service is becoming key to maintaining a sound business base. The liquor line can be a particular category of distinction, presenting an opportunity for unique customer propositions. One knowledgeable Sake professional on staff can convert wine aficionados into Sake followers. This is true for Western distilled liquors fans into Shochu and American beer drinkers into Japan’s micro-brews. Most importantly, liquor sales can turn into high profits.

SAKE SCHOOL OF AMERICA (SSA) aims to foster higher appreciation and memorable drinking and dining experiences. Fully committed to educating trade professionals and enthusiasts alike, SSA promotes Japan’s unique liquor culture in faraway countries at the same level of understanding and enjoyment as is in its homeland of Japan. This is part of a larger vision aiming to ensure the dissemination of traditional and true Japanese food culture to the world and into the future.

SSA is accredited by Sake Service Institute, Japan's largest organized body for Sake sommelier certification.
