This webinar looks at the world of craft sake and the trends from Japan and beyond to celebrate World Sake Day. Natsuki Kikuya, WSET's Product Development Manager - Sake, is joined by Chris Hughes, Sake educator, to discuss trends in sake including:

1) Sustainability: development of new way to use environment friendly ingredients, production and packaging options for sake.

2) Natural and low intervention approach in sake production.

3) Craft sake movement: emergence of koji-based new "non-sake" categories to start up new breweries.

4) The impact of Climate Change in sake: how sake makers are solving.

5) Sake production outside of Japan & international collaborations.

Note: During the discussion, Natsuki referred to the Michizakari brewery in Gifu, but this should be the Michizakura brewery in Gifu.
