My Unique Hobby "tasting and learning 日本酒"

Weekly Topic: My slightly unique hobbies

Feb 7, 2021

I love Japanese Sake, because of not only its aroma and taste but also its background and history.
When I worked as a translation staff, I had opportunities to visit Sake Breweries many times and introduce their products and production process in English. Then, I became fascinated by Sake!

Guests from overseas are impressed by the craftmanship and stories of Sake.
We should be proud of Japanese Sake culture.

Fortunately, I live in a popular sake producing area. Whenever I visit my favorite liquor store, I can't decide which one to choose! 

Now, I am interested in International Sake Sommelier. With this certification, I will be able to introduce Sake to the world more!

私のちょっと変わった趣味は「日本酒を味わい、学ぶこと」です。
日本酒の香り、味だけではなく、その背景や歴史が好きです。
以前、翻訳スタッフとして仕事をしていた時に、地元の酒蔵に行ったり、そこの製品や製造過程を英語で紹介する機会が何度もありました。そうするうちにすっかり日本酒に魅了されました。
海外からのお客様は杜氏の仕事ぶりやストーリーに感銘を受けられます。日本の酒文化は私たちの誇りです。
幸いなことに(笑)私は酒どころに住んでおり、馴染みの酒屋では何を買って帰るか毎回悩みます。
今は、国際唎酒師の資格取得に興味を持っています。この資格があれば、もっとお酒を世界に紹介できると思います!
