A sake challenge is a competition, typically held annually, to identify and recognize premium sake. The idea was conceived and competitions founded in 2012 by the Sake Sommelier Association and its founders, Xavier Chapelou[1] and Kumiko Ohta.[2] The competitions are held annually in cities and countries worldwide, including Milan, Singapore, Luxembourg, Bordeaux, and London.
The London Sake Challenge was the first sake competition and was dedicated solely to sake and local food pairing.
Objectives
The purpose of the event is to recognize outstanding premium sakes. It aims to promote sake consumption by showcasing a new market where sake is paired with local food. Additionally, the event seeks to raise global awareness and increase the popularity of sake, particularly through "Japan Life", an event celebrating Japanese culture.
Judging Process
Each sake is assessed independently, not comparatively. Sake sommeliers and jury members evaluate each entry based on appearance, flavor, and taste in the first round of blind tasting. The design and packaging are assessed separately.
This innovation was first introduced by the Sake Sommelier Association during the 2012 London Sake Challenge
Today, many sake competitions around the world have been influenced by this novel idea and have adopted it.
Reward
The competition awards Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze medals to the highest scoring sakes in accordance with the judging criteria.
