Photo gallery: WSET Level 3 Sake Course Day 1

-
Ready to start the WSET course with my new business cards.
-
Tasting, my nemesis. At least it was all explained clearly so I knew what to aim for.
-
Judging colour: colourless, lemon-green or lemon?
-
The bottles from the first round of tasting. Needless to say, the spittoons were getting lots of use or you would be paralytic by lunchtime.
-
Another round of tasting.
-
I had a lot of trouble seeing the haze in a sake that had not been charcoal fined (muroka) - the gentleman sitting next to me taught me the trick of holding it up in front of print to see the blur it produced.
-
More bottles from tasting!
-
I particularly liked the clear bottle in the middle here - made entirely from rice seeded with the koji fungus and very sweet.
-
The final tally of the first day.

Crossing London Bridge at the end of an intensive day.
