Purpose of The Academy of SAKE Corporation
I have a taste for NIHONSHU (Sake; Japanese rice wine), in the meantime I started to visit sake brewery. As I listen to the people who were there, I understood that many of them are anxious about the shrinking NIHONSHU market in Japan today. However, with the Japanese food boom in foreign countries recently, also their interests in NIHONSHU is getting higher outside Japan. The interest for NIHONSHU is beginning to grow slowly with the younger generation in Japan too. Not to stop this movement, I would like to be able to explain and pass on the knowledge of NIHONSHU (includes Japanese Traditional Culture) to the others, I thought.
And another thing I was wondering, there are various types of foreign liquors in a line at the bars in Japan. Just listening to the stories of each liquors and brewery, I can often feel close to their birth countries. However, I have never seen NIHONSHU lined at the bars overseas except at the Japanese restaurants. The western liquors are accepted in Japan like this, it might be possible to spread these wonderful NIHONSHU all over the world. Not only to sell well but also to spread NIHONSHU, which I love, abroad, I thought I could do something. Then I came up with the idea of Seminars and education courses would be helpful to pass on the knowledge and the know-how to the others and to make companies to tell the values of NIHONSHU together. I decided to ask for Full cooperation about the textbooks, the know-how and so on to Mr. Takahisa UESUGI, a consultant of NIHONSHU who is also anxious about the situation of NIHONSHU today. We offer the courses full of practical tools so the people, who like NIHONSHU or want to spread NIHONSHU abroad, can learn easily and will be able to pass it on properly. Also, overseas, we have activities like NIHONSHU tasting and PR party to increase fans of NIHONSHU.
Training and supporting the person who can work internationally and planning the Project Development, NIHONSHU education as a core, we hope to continue evolving with our companies and our future companies.
In addition, not only the courses also though IT introduction and website authoring, we support to spread the wonderfulness of NIHONSHU. We do hope you will give us further encouragement for that too.
