Eligible participants are amateurs. The representatives for each prefecture who got through the prefecture-level preliminaries will compete with each other for the position of Japan’s top sake taster through a written test about sake and an actual “sake tasting” session where they have to distinguish seven kinds of sake by tasting and smelling.
At the competition, a university division where pairs from different universities compete with each other and an international division for foreigners will also be offered.
