Kahoko was an excellent server/bartender for our sake tasting! Very kind, helpful, and informative, and patient with our language barrier! We had a lovely time enjoying delicious sake!
Thank you so much for joining us! ✨ I’m so happy that you all had a wonderful time enjoying sake! I’m still learning English, but I hope this becomes a fun memory for you all here in Kyoto. 😊 Thank you for trying all the different kinds of sake!
Wonderful experience with Kahoko, our expert in Kyoto! She managed to convey to us all her love for sake and the related Japanese traditions. Highly recommended!
Grazie mille per aver partecipato! Adoro il sake giapponese, quindi sono davvero felice di poter far conoscere la sua bontà a chi visita il Giappone ☺ Spero possa diventare uno dei bei ricordi a Kyoto!
This was such a great experience in Kyoto. Kahoku was an amazing host! She was friendly and knowledgeable about sake. She had such a great presentation set up for us. But her real talents lie in her cooking. The food she paired with the sake was amazing and she made it all herself! I would do this tour all over again just to eat the food again. Follow the directions she gives to find the bar because it can be a little bit challenging to find.
Thank you so much for joining us! I love sake and I want every tourist who comes to Japan to experience how great it is and leave with fun memories of Kyoto 🌟 I picked foods that I thought would go well with sake, so I'm really happy that you enjoyed them! Please come visit again when you come back to Japan!
This experience was amazing! Kahoku was so knowledgable about sake. The food she made was INCREDIBLE. She is so talented. I highly recommend this experience. She is so kind and friendly, it was so much fun spending time with her.
Thank you so much for joining! I was also happy to have fun teaching about sake. I’m glad you enjoyed the sake and food pairing too ☺ I hope it becomes a memorable experience in Kyoto!
First time Sake tasting. Left loving sake. The owner gives the lesson and her love and knowledge for sake makes the experience amazing. 10/10 recommend!
Thanks for joining! I love sake, so I'm really happy to be able to share it with everyone ☺ I hope it becomes a memorable experience in Kyoto!

We had a lovely time tasting 5 excellent sakes (paired perfectly with delicious snacks!), and learning all about the production of sake. The host was so friendly, thank you!
Thank you very much for your participation! I am very happy that you were able to enjoy the differences in the taste of sake through sake tasting and pairing with food! I also really love talking, so it was enjoyable to spend such a wonderful time together! I would be happy if this became a memory of Kyoto🌟
We had a lovely time tasting five different sake. The session was relaxed and fun, and we were the only people there! This is a good option for beginners who are looking for a basic introduction to sake, as well as those who want a relaxed sake tasting in the centre of Kyoto and who do not want to dedicate half a day travelling to one of the larger or more time consuming tasting sessions at breweries in the suburbs.
Thank you very much for your participation. Our experience is designed so that even first-time visitors in central Kyoto can easily learn about the charm and qualities of sake. We hope that the experience of enjoying delicious sake while having fun conversations will become one of your memorable moments from your trip to Japan!
My husband and I had an incredible time during this experience! Such a lovely way to learn about how sake is made, the different types, and compare multiple types! It was paired with delicious snacks that complimented each sake perfectly! Would highly recommend this experience with the sweetest guide/shop!!!
Thank you very much for participating in the sake course! I am really glad that you were able to enjoy various types of sake along with homemade foods that pair well with each one! I will do my best to convey to everyone the goodness of the sake that I love!
