All about Yamadanishiki with Natsuki Kikuya

With a history spanning over 2,000 years, now is a really exciting time to be discovering sake. WSET School London Sake Educator and Sake Samurai Natsuki Kikuya has been running a series of fascinating sake webinars for us since the start of lockdown in the UK, and her next one focuses on a particularly important rice variety. Today there are over 120 different sake rice varieties grown all around Japan, but you cannot start learning about them without mentioning Yamadanishiki, known as "the king of sake rice". In this one hour webinar, Natsuki will explore the history and stories behind the popularity of Yamadanishiki. She'll also discuss how microclimate and regionality factors affect the quality of rice itself in Hyogo Prefecture and other areas of Japan.

"Although WSET School London's building has had to close in light of the coronavirus pandemic, courses are still available online. In addition, while we are unable to deliver our usual packed programme of evening tasting events, we are hosting webinars on a variety of topics for you to expand your wine, spirits and sake knowledge.
