Description
A must-see tour for sake lovers! We will take you to the Nada area of Kobe, Japan's number one sake-producing region. When you think of Japan, you think of sake! The Nada area of Kobe is famous for being home to the number one sake brewery in Japan. However, while this area remains a hidden gem for tourists, it is a very historic and special place for locals.
