Hawaii Joe is a passionate, enthusiastic, fun and knowledgeable guide of Japanese suke. I love his desire to share his wealth of knowledge about the exciting world of sake. I highly recommend Hawaii Joe for ann authentic Japanese suke experience!
Great advisor! Thank you so much!
Takeshi was a savant. Approached with a depth of knowledge but also made the entire experience so enjoyable and fun and interactive. I would list this as a must do if you are interested in understanding a part of Japanese culture that is often overlooked.
Lots of useful background information on sake preparation. Able to sample a wide variety of sakes with snacks!
Fun, knowledgeable, and accessible experience - Tadashi was a great host
We had a 2hr session with Hawaiian Joe. This was a fun way to experience a wide range of sake profiles. Joe is knowledgeable about the sake manufacturing process and in the profiles and flavours of sake. During the class we sampled them at different temperatures, with snacks, and by combining different sake together. There are a few slides which are interesting to explore the sake process but it's not a lecture. We sampled about 10 different bottles of sake in total to help understand the different features each sake can bring.
Yusuke was great, teaching us about Sake making and letting us try a wide variety of Sake, great value for the money and attention to detail.
Amazing tour with Yusuke! Super knowledgeable about everything sake and so nice! Sake is amazing
Tadashi’s tour is so much fun, and he has an incredible amount of knowledge! He explains everything from how sake is made to the best way to enjoy it. You can learn so much while having a really good time!
Tadashi was the absolute best host! He explained the differences between the sakes in a way that was super easy to understand and really fun. Even though I’m Japanese, I don't usually drink much, so I had a blast learning so much about sake.
