Educational and learnt alot from the tour guide - It was a fun visit at a gd walking pace for all in the family. Aki was thoughtful and even built in a short rest break, complete with some rice crackers and yuzi infused alcohol between the visits to keep the energy up. The teen was offered a soft-serve ice cream at one of the stops, which he thoroughly enjoyed.

Sake Tour - Top activity - The tour was really great. We were welcomed at a brewery and museum. The guide spoke wonderful English and explained the history of the brewery and the production of sake at the beginning. Afterwards we went to a small restaurant where the tasting with food took place. It was really funny and very interesting. Thank you so much!

Fun and knowledgeable experience - We wanted to experience Sake off the beaten tourist track and our tour guide Aki delivered all that and more! We visited famous breweries, local breweries and sake museums. Aki was very knowledgeable and educated us on the different types of sake and how it was made. Wear your hiking shoes and bring an empty backpack because you are going to want to buy souvenirs.

Chill afternoon of sake tasting and snacking on knowledge...also snacks. - Our guide was Aki, a true Kobe local knowledgeable about all things sake. She taught us technical terms and helped us differentiate between different polishes and tastes, as well as acting as our guide as we walked through the sake brewery district of Nada. We tasted heaps of sake, some even provided by our guide, stopped at a local family owned tofu spot (phenomenal flavor and as fresh as it gets), plus we learned the history of the area and just why so many breweries call Kobe home. For a fun, informative and boozy time I'd definitely recommend.

Great Sale Tasting Experience - Hiro was a great guide. She is very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about sale, both history and how it is made. She even helped us discover which is our preferred style.

Fabulous local sake brewery tour of Kobe - We had a great time on the tour learning about the history of sake and importantly trying sake. Our hosts were very gracious and also took us to a local boutique tofu producer. The tour was at a good pace with plenty of time to learn and taste.

Perfect tour - This was one of the best tours we have done. Our guides were so careful in picking spots and passing on information and knowledge. They truly made the tour and I am so happy to have a better appreciation and knowledge of sake making and the process. It was a perfect day.

Amazing sake tour - I highly recommend this sake tour. It was a fun and amazing experience being guided by Aki-san. She was very thoughtful bringing us some neck cooler, and also an umbrella, because of the hot weather. It was convenient to reach the sake places, and we could learn more technically about the types and brands of sake.
Also we were lucky to find a shrine festival, so we stopped to enjoy a little bit the music and the food. I’m very glad that we did this tour, and I will recommend to my friends! ✨🍶
