Sakeology Professional Program
(Sakeology-P1)

Sakeology is the world’s first academic discipline, featuring extensive learning with an interdisciplinary focus specifically on sake, which is rooted in Japanese culture and traditions. In recent years, global interest in sake has been on the rise. An increasing number of people are seeking to acquire knowledge and skills pertaining to Sakeology, particularly in sake brewing, aiming to become sake brewing practitioners or start their own sake brewery ventures overseas.
In response to such educational needs, Niigata University has introduced a new certificate program, “Sakeology Professional Program (Sakeology-P1),” in FY2025, designed to train professionals involved in sake brewing as Sakeology evangelists.
