Max is the best! Really good introductory sake tasting
This was a great experience. The guide was enthusiastic, energetic and professional.
Megan was a great guide who is very knowledgeable of sake and the process. I highly recommend.
Megan was fantastic and informative
Hawaii Joe was a great instructor!
Great experience with Max and all sakes
Our host, Hawaii Joe, was incredibly knowledgeable, and his outgoing personality helped the group bond. I learned so much about sake! This is not your average, boring, equivalent of a boring wine-tasting, but a very creative approach to sake. Joe even included take-home charts, restaurant recommendations, and other things to help us on our sake journey. I highly recommend this experience!
Dear ErinMee, Take-home charts is such a Joe thing to do. He's genuinely obsessed with sake and wants people to keep exploring after the tour ends, not just remember it fondly. Thank you for the detailed writeup, it'll help other travelers know what to expect. Ninja Food Tours Team
Hawaii Joe was an amazing host, I learned so much and had a fabulous afternoon, a great introduction to Tokyo and the magic of sake.
Dear A, sake tasting always turns a good tour into a memorable one, and Joe knows how to make it approachable without dumbing it down. Thank you for spending the afternoon with us. Ninja Food Tours Team
It was honestly the best! The more we drank, the better it got!
Thank you, V, that line made me laugh. Something about food and drink getting better together is exactly the mood we're going for on our tours. Ninja Food Tours Team
Megan and Kate were very informative about all things sake. It was a really good and relaxing experience as a solo traveller.
Megan and Kate sound like the perfect pair to learn about sake from. So glad the pace felt relaxing rather than rushed, that's exactly what we hope solo travellers feel with us. Thanks for sharing this, Dimitra. Ninja Food Tours Team
