Really great experience. The host really has a great knowledge of the different types of sake. Would recommend.
Aki was great! Offered a variety of sakes and definitely learnt a lot, overall a very fun and unique experience! I want to come back again
Great hour and an half experience with Aki! He was very informative, classy, and personable. I could not imagine a better guide through a sake experience. We originally booked a sake tasting through a different company, but they cancelled. We were disappointed, but it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened since that’s how we ended up with this amazing experience at a great price!
WHAT AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE! I thought I knew my way around sake before I came to this tour but Aki opened my eyes and palate to much much more about his country’s rice-brewed beverage. No sake tasting or experience I’ve had in the US was this detailed, educational, or delicious. Furthermore. You’ll try several sakes with Aki that you’ll never have access to back home. 100% recommend, and it’s a fine price especially if you reach out and book direct!
Great educational experience learning about how sake is made, different flavor profiles and what to look for when buying. Not to mention delicious high quality sakes! Highly recommend joining Aki for this experience.
It was a rich and fun trip!! The guide was accurate and suited us a great tour. It was delicious, warmly recommended.
Really enjoyed this one on one tasting session with Aki. He was punctual, friendly and really knows his Sake. While sampling a range, from dry and smooth to sweet and chilled, Aki shared his detail knowledge on all things Sake. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys this unique Japanese drink or wants to discover it.
The sake tasting was wonderful. As someone who enjoys fine wines and whiskeys, it was a treat to experience a different cultures delicacies. I am a very empirical person, so Akira's presentation that consisted of a variety of sales with infographics and information, was very helpful to understand the most about sakes. I plan on taking home what I learned and sharing it with friends and family, I will be seeing the guide again when I come back to Japan. I enjoyed his work so much that I booked one of the other tours he guides. Funny, intelligent, and handsome ;)
This is our second tour with Aki. We had so much fun on the food and tavern tour that we wanted to try the sake with him! Both experiences were fun and I got to try lots of different sakes and learn more.
Went to sake tasting with my daughter on her first visit to Japan. Lovely and informative experience would definitely recommend to anyone.
