SAKE POP
The japanese sake have its pop splash in Paris!
Here's the first sake contest open to the general public!
A unique concept!
While sake consumption is declining in Japan, exports have grown dramatically in recent years. But while France is one of the major players on the international stage, its primary goal is to expand its production and distribution.
At Japan Expo, more than a hundred bottles from various Japanese sake breweries are entered into a competition organized by the festival and OSAKE, the long-standing expert in sake imports and the trainer of France’s leading sake sommeliers.
More than 800 participants took part in the tasting exercise: they had to select 5 bottles based on their appearance, then choose 3 of those based on taste, assigning points to each. There are three categories: aromatic, sweet, and dry.
Thank you for your participation!
If you love sake, don't hesitate! Put your palate to the test and help shape the market of tomorrow!
If you're new to this, come discover some new flavors!
If you're a journalist, critic, or influencer, you're taking part in an important award for producers!
You were 840 participants for this SAKE POP edition. We all thank you for your engagement and enthusiasm during the tastings.
