Traveller reviews
Aleef was great very fun tour!!!
Fantastic sake tour with very knowledgeable guide! The tour was so much fun and we highly recommend!
Fantastic sake tour experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made it both informative and fun!
Masa was a kind, patient, and affable tour guide who introduced us to some wonderful sake breweries and local favorite restaurants. Highly recommended if you have any interest in how sake is made or want to try a few with a knowledgeable guide and translator (especially the unique Hiroshima brews with their special soft mountain water).
We really enjoyed our sake tour with our guide Sanae. The museum was interesting, lunch was great and the tasting at the end was both interesting and great fun. But the highlight of the tour was Sanae, who was a wonderful, gracious and entertaining guide.
This tour was led by Masa, a qualified sake sommelier. He took us to a number of breweries where we could see the equipment used in the intricate brewing process and taste samples of different types of sake. The tour included a delicious lunch with more sake! We also stopped at a specialist coffee shop. We learnt a lot and ate and drank too much!
Our guide Ami was friendly & knowledgeable. She took us to several local places during a sake festival, and spent extra time with us. She was amazing, would definitely recommend!!!
A ver fun day, filled with great tastings of sake in Saijo! Can’t miss experience for anyone interested in learning how sake is produced, and looking to enjoy delicious sake.
