Yesterday I participated in the first round of the national amateur #Japanese #sake tasting competition in #Nakano (the one in #Nagano ). It was my first experience at this.

There were twenty competitors and we tasted 7 different sakes twice and had to match them. I was the only non-Japanese.

Surprisingly, I got a perfect score and won first place.

Next round I need to go to #NaganoPrefecture championships. The winner there goes to the nationals.
