The 5th Edition of the French Sake Competition was held on 12th July 2021 in Paris. 72 Sommeliers took part in the judging, tasting 960 entries from 312 breweries (up from 824 in 2020). At the end of the 1st round of tasting, 26 sakes were selected for a 2nd session to determine the Jury's top 16 sakes.

 

The Top 16 will be announced on the award ceremony, held on 20th September 2021. 

I would like to congratulate all the winners, especially those in our portfolio!
