Extensive sake knowledge in 2 hours - a great experience in Kyoto - The Advanced Sake tasting was a very special experience for us in Kyoto. Kotaro was our sake sommelier and he managed to convey an incredible amount of important information about the sake in two hours in a very well thought-out system. This tasting is ideal for people who want to explore the subject a bit more closely, no specific prior knowledge is required, but it helped us that we have some prior knowledge about winemaking. The tasted sake was very well selected. We have already been able to put some knowledge into practice and can already make a first assessment of the taste of the sake based on the information on the bottle

Great intro and advanced details on sake - Two of our party were familar with sake, but one was new to sake. The class was very educational in what goes into making sake and the various flavors that are available. There were plenty of sake tasted.

Must do in Kyoto - This is a must do experience. Kotaro and Momoko were amazing and took the time to answer questions and share their love of sake. Can’t recommend this experience enough - you won’t be disappointed

Start your sake nerd metamorphosis in under two hours - I'm a wine nerd, and for some time, I'd been hoping to do a sake tasting that went deep on technical details of production and how it affects the end result, as opposed to a simply qualitative, empirical comparison tasting, as is so often done in the wine world. This tasting did not disappoint! Kotaro-sensei did a fantastic job of covering not just details of production, but what is happening chemically and how these details change what you get in the glass. I now have a solid foundation of knowledge to build on not only of different styles but also what keywords map to the production techniques that will help me find the experience I'm looking for.
