Some of you may already be aware that in July this year, the Australian Sake Awards took place in Sydney for the second year running.

We were delighted to have received 104 submissions, from 52 breweries, for judging in this year’s awards.

The 51-person judging panel included Australian sommeliers, sake retailers, food and beverage industry professionals, sake qualification holders and sake importers and wholesalers. 

The highest scoring sake from each category was selected.

• Platinum Award: the top-ranked sake in each category
• Gold Award: top 20% of the total number of sake entered in each category
• People’s Choice: top 10% of the total number of sake voted by judges

We are delighted to announce that all the Award-winning sake will be available to taste at Sake Festival in Sydney from Saturday 30th September-Sunday 1st October.

We will have a special table set up at the festival where you will be able to see, taste and discuss this year’s winners from each category. 

Be sure to come and say hello as we’d love to hear your feedback when you visit the Awards table!
