About...

Sake Nomade is about sharing the love of Japanese sake one cup at a time. I love meeting people from all over the world and share my passion for Japanese sake with them. Because "Nihonshu", Japanese Sake is so much more than just a beverage, it is the passion and dedication of people that I want you to meet.

 

Having been in the Hospitality industry for more than 20 years I have been working for stared hotels, venues, and restaurants internationally, as well as spending an amazing time in Ireland as a tour guide introducing the lively Dublin pub scene, I always had a love for Japan...

 

I have studied hospitality management, including food and beverage, at the prestigious Institute Cesar Ritz in Switzerland with honors, where I discovered a passion for wine. However, my real love, I discovered, later on, lies with Japanese sake. Which is why I decided to pursue this as a career. I am a certified International Kikisake-shi and have done many other courses, such as the coveted Sake Professional Course run by “the sake guy” and founder of “Sake World” John Gauntner.

 

When I am not busy guiding or giving workshops, I travel around Japan, enjoy the local cuisine, culture, and of course drink sake. I also write for a variety of Publications such as Obsessed with Japan, Sakegeek or Senpai Japan, both local and global travel magazines showcasing this wonderful country. You can also follow my travel blog Let's Travel and Eat for travel tips, local insights, and fun anecdotes from my adventures traveling around this beautiful country.
