Embark on a journey to master the art of saké tasting from the comfort of your own home! This tasting kit is the perfect companion for those pursuing the WSET Level 1 Award in Sake (Online) and other saké courses!
 
Yearning to taste like a seasoned pro? We've teamed up with the award-winning saké importer and distributor, Tengu Sake, to meticulously curate a selection of seven saké bottles, each representing distinct profiles — fruity, floral, lactic, cereal, sparkling, cloudy, and aged. This selection aligns with the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Level 1 Award in Sake study programme requirements.
 
Why Choose Our Tasting Kit?
Our tasting kit showcases seven benchmark saké expressions, encompassing a diverse range of saké styles. It offers an exceptional opportunity to refine your palate, preparing you for saké tasting exams, such as the WSET Level 3 Award in Sake, SSI International Kikisake-shi, JSA Sake Diploma, SSA Certified Sake Sommelier, and more.
 
What is the Shelf Life of the Saké?
Rest assured, the saké we provide is freshly imported into the UK, retaining its original, unopened condition, with bottle sizes ranging from 250ml to 720ml. Upon receiving your shipment, ensure the sakés are stored in a refrigerated environment, preferably upright, to extend their shelf lives. Typically, delicate styles like junmai daiginjo should last around a year. Meanwhile, robust junmai-shu and saké varieties with high-strength distilled alcohol, such as futsushu/honjozo, can endure even longer. Koshu (aged saké) has been intentionally aged for a minimum of three years.
 
Once opened, you can savour the saké for approximately 2-3 more weeks when stored in the fridge. The duration may vary depending on the saké style, with delicate ones having a shorter lifespan and fuller-bodied sakés lasting longer.
