If you know the basics about Sake—that it’s served both warm and cold, and that it’s made from steamed rice, water, yeast, and koji—then begin at Level 2. This beginner to intermediate sake course offers greater breadth and depth of material, more tasting opportunities and additional classroom hours compared to Level 1. It’s for anyone who:
