John Gauntner is running a Sake Professional Course via Zoom on October 4 to 18. He will cover all the basics and more about sake over 5 3-hours sessions.
To help out, we have come up with a list of Sakes to match the criteria for the tastings!
Sakes will be sent out on October 3rd 2020. If you are not registered for the course, feel free to purchase the set for tasting too!
