Certified Citrus Sommelier of Japan
The Citrus Sommelier certification was introduced in Japan in 2020. It is currently the single citrus sommelier certification system in the world. A citrus sommelier is someone deeply invested in the knowledge and the dissemination of that knowledge to the greater public.
I am the first non-Japanese holder of the Citrus Sommelier certificate. Besides professional trips around citrus in Japan, I organise private tasting sessions everywhere in Japan, including remote tasting experiences with the best seasonal fruits sourced from selected producers. |
