It is likely that few of us remember -- or put much value on -- our high school curriculum. After all, the three Rs and a dollop of foreign language is hardly a memorable course of study. Now, of course, if we were able to study and practice something like, say, sake brewing, well that would be fun -- and something to remember.
Well, the lucky students of Yoshikawa High School in Yoshikawa-cho, Niigata, get to do just that. Yoshikawa High School is the only school in the nation that has a sake-brewing course of study and an actual license from the government to brew sake.
It is otherwise a normal Japanese high school, although its overall curriculum tends a bit toward the agricultural.
