  In-depth sake course for a beginner

  This course got me off the ground to start learning more about sake. My introductory course commenced at the end of April, and it built the basic information about sake with sake tasting kits. Even though I am Japanese, it was really a good idea to learn about sake in English because I passed the knowledge that I had just obtained on to customers at a restaurant where I work straight away. Keen to continue learning more about sake in the future.

  I had an private online sake tasting with Sandra from Kodawari Sake Education. It was such a lovely experience! Sandra sent me some sake samples, handpicked for me based on what kind of wine I like. Then we logged on and had a live virtual event, in the comfort of my home. Sandra is very knowledgeable and passionate about sake, and she was able to convey it well. I learnt a lot, and got to try sake for the first time ever with the guidance of an expert. A great activity to do with some friends. I can highly recommend Kodawari Sake Education.

  Excellence Experience and Wonderful Educator

  The in-person course is absolutely wonderful. I had opportunity to understand the key basics of sake. Most importantly, the tasting samples are carefully selected to be neither too simple (and hence cannot show the contrast) nor too complicated (and hence confuse students).
  Sandra is a wonderful educator. I've got all encouragement from her to build up the knowledge. It can easily see her passion in the course.
  This is an amazing experience I have.

  Wonderful experience

  After being to several of the sake dinners that Sandra has organized, I finally took the plunge and did the online sake professional course, and it was a wonderful experience. Putting into practice things that Sandra & I have discussed at her dinners or her shop, learning new skills and getting a greater appreciation for the effort she puts in with her dinners, Sandra is a brilliant educator, and the course is very fun and satisfying. I can't recommend taking one of her online courses enough, and I look forward to continuing my education with her!

  Trust worthy Educator❤️

  My training sessions were amazing💛
  
  I did Introductory Sake Professional course with Sandra.
  It was my first experience of learning Sake and I liked her session because it was clear to understand the knowledge of Sake.
  Also, I had extra sessions with her which were additional and more practical-driven for six weeks.
  
  I believe that her organisation of training is definitely valuable and remarkable compared to other Sake educators.☺️
  
  The sessions made me confident and I am excited to work with the knowledge and skills that learned from the sessions with her.🍶✨
  
  Thank you so much for training me and organising sessions even though I live in Melbourne.

  I personally enjoy and appreciate the culture from Japan. By pure coincidence (or destiny) I met Sandra and have been enveloped in her world of Sake knowledge!
  
  
  
  We had so much fun having Sandra in our birthday celebration! She gave us a wide breadth of new knowledge about sake! Our party experienced a new world and we will forever cherish the camaraderie and the bond we have developed with her. Her passion and dedication is infectious... she has transformed our taste buds and we are now sake lovers kanpai to new beginnings!

  Had a super experience with Sandra, her experiences in Sake is beyond disbelief to know an expert like her exist here (of all places) Western Australia, Perth. Her classes are interactive, knowledgeable, and most importantly, FUN. Both my partner and I enjoyed a lot and have helped us to find out next favourite bottle of sake !

  I attended the Umeshu tasting class and had an amazing time. Very informative information from Sandra and Choya of how Umeshu is made. Amazing cocktails and canapés created by Hiss & Smoke. Im going to be dreaming of those cocktails :)

  Or if you enjoy a wine pairing night, try a sake pairing night for something new (especially if you like Japanese food)

  I’ve known Sandra for a while now and I can think of no other person that can invariably match her knowledge, enthusiasm and continual advocacy for the promotion of Japanese sake in Australia. She has introduced me to entire world of sake and opened my eyes to how fascinatingly multidimensional Japan’s national beverage can be. There has never been a more important time to preserve a fragile industry overshadowed by other dominating beverages and through her proactivity and passion there is a lot we can thank her for in preserving that cultural heritage outside of Japan. I’ve always trusted Sandra in being able to provide the best experience and knowledge to her customers in regards to not only sake, but also Japanese whisky, plum wines, shōchū and many more wonderful beverages.
