Well, Joshua Carinan introduced earlier.

He has remained a finalist who challenged the same competition sponsored by SAKE Sommelier Association (SSA) in 2 times. The first round progressed to the semi-final and the 2 round was unfortunately the runner-up, but it was the 3 round of honesty and the 2018 year was a big win!

If he is qualified as a liquor sommelier and wins a competition like him, he will be paid as a liquor sommelier at restaurants and hotels around the world.You will be welcomed at

Because,Having a highly educated liquor sommelier is also a great honor for a restaurant and gives customers deep trustIt is.

Fall in love for the first sake in Tokyo!

In fact, he works as an air sommelier on the Singapore Airlines,I originally loved wine, Who has a career.

However, when I visited Tokyo for the CWE (Certified Wine Educator) exam,Drinking sake for the first time changed his future life guidelines. In other words, it ’s more about sake than wine..

But,Turning from wine to sake is not an easy wayEnglish learning is necessary to prepare for life, learning and interaction with the global environment. <br> IT Skills (programming logic) is necessary to prepare for the needs of the future.<br> Financial literacy is necessary to prepare for creating, managing and being smart with time and wealth.<br>

Do not look at English to get used to Japanese

The first thing that stands out is the language barrier.Even we who speak Japanese are not easy to understand the world of sake..

To overcome this, I was not only striving to study Japanese, but also trying to get used to kanji by reading only the sake label without reading the English text in the restaurant.

Obtain MBA while working

In addition, he worked for Singapore Airlines to obtain an MBA (Master of Business Administration: Master of Business Administration awarded by completing a master's degree).

“Sake sommelier qualification + MBA” is the strongest combination. Pairing is essential if you are aiming for a luxury hotel or restaurant that is often entrusted with everything from purchasing and managing sake..

He is now humbly saying that he is still studying Japanese.

1 steps to spread sake around the worldAnd more motivated.

Like him nowThere are mainly 2 educational institutions for people who want to acquire qualifications related to sake overseas.

 

Difference between WSET and SSA

Normal,

There is a difference.

The purpose of choosing SSA for those who want to be a sake sommelierTop class as a sake sommelier awarded by SSAMaster of Sake (Master of Sake: MOS) ”で す(* MOS will be described later).

MOS acquisition is like the world of “Somm”

Posted by SOMM Films & TV (@somm_films) – August 2018, 9 8:9 am PDT

Obtaining a MOS (Master of Liquor) is not easy.Academic and tasting tests are the most difficultIt has been with. Tuition is not cheap.You can't pass just studying at home.

However, the content of the classes is substantial, and by repeating the training at restaurants and liquor stores, you can gain confidence and ability as a sake sommelier, and as a hiring side, you will be a sake sommelier that you can use as a ready-to-use power.

everyone is"SommHave you ever watched the movie?

A documentary about the days when 4 people who want to become wine sommeliers pass the strictest tests. The road to MOS (Master of Sake) is not much different.

If you watched this movie and shuddered, “It ’s great!”, You already have a ticket to MOS (Master of Sake).

Please challenge the challenges and win the title of the world-class sake sommelier, and spread the splendor of sake more all over the world!

What is the reward for an international sake sommelier?

If you win the Sake Sommelier of the Year like Joshua Carinan, you're guaranteed a high salary.

But,How much reward is for those who have MSS (Master Sake Sommelier) or MOS (Master of Sake) qualifications?Can you do it? I checked it because I was worried.

According to the results, there are still few people who have advanced qualifications as an alcoholic sommelier of MSS or MOS, and they could not be found as statistics.

But,Yuji Matsumoto, who became the first MSS in the United States, has gained a position as a drink director at Kabuki Japanese Restaurant, which has 17 stores in the United States.

So, I tried to predict the reward of the wine sommelier from the reward of the wine sommelier.

What is the salary of a wine sommelier?

For the wine sommelier reward,Business insiders introduce by classdoing.

according to itSenior wine sommelier annual salary is $ 78,000But this isBecome a master sommelier about 2 times $ 150,000 (1,610 million).

In another article,The average annual wine sommelier's annual salary in New York is $ 61,158 (655 million), the maximum is $ 75,291 (805 million)There was also. Since the sommelier's grade is not listed here, it is unknown whether it is professional or self-proclaimed.

From the above 2 examples, it may be possible to predict that wine sommeliers for ordinary restaurants will cost up to 800 10,000 yen, and master sommeliers such as starred restaurants and luxury hotel restaurants have annual salaries over 1000 10,000 yen .

This can be understood in a business insider article.

What is the reward for sake sommeliers (CSS) that are not MSS or MOS?

We are looking for sake sommeliers at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Dubai. Will it be confirmed after the interview?

The annual salary of sake sommeliers being recruited in London is described as £ 33,000 to £ 36,000. This is about 451 10,000 yen to 492 10,000 yen in Japanese yen.

Sake sommelier recruitment in Singapore is an annual salary of S $ 60,000, and in the case of Japanese yen, 475 million yen seems to be the price of CSS annual salary.

Whether this amount is high or low depends on your lifestyle.

But,If you improve your skills while gaining experience as a sake sommelier, or if you win a prize in a competition, it is expected that your income will increaseWill be

In addition, Overseas magazines related to sakeIt seems that 1 is one of the ways to take action such as making an appointment at the listed restaurants while grasping the trend of Japanese sake.

Let's take a look at how SSA sommelier associations can obtain certification as a sake sommelier.

Japanese sake sommeliers are expected to be more active overseas in order for many people to drink our sake in the best condition and to know its true value.

A trial set of Mr. Imada Sake Brewery. [Free Shipping] Imadaji "Shinto" drink comparison set: 180ml × 5 bottles http://t.co/hfCKmC1M　From my point of view, it's called manufacturing or cost performance ... I'm doing my best.
Kuramoto direct sales (manufacturers) are strong.

This is a drinking comparison set with the motif and class of the priesthood. What sets it apart from the common drinking comparison set is that 5 books in the 3 book set are occupied by Junmai Daiginjo.

What's more, the remaining 2 books are “Special Ginjo”, which brings out the fragrance and umami even if it is mochi.

The sake bottle “Imadai Tsuji” is the only sake brewery in Niigata, the country of sake that packs each taste into 5 simple bottles.

The period of studying as a real sake sommelier is not short. Why don't you take a breather with a brewer's drink comparison set, which has won gold awards at numerous fairs?
