Highly recommend the sake experience! - We did the sake experience with Joe (on Jan 26) and had an incredible time! The experience started with an informative introduction to sake and sake making, followed by a generous tasting of 10 different sakes, made with different techniques and served in different ways. We walked away a lot more confident in our ability to select sake at a restaurant which helped us a lot for the rest of our trip! Thank you Joe!

Awesome Sake experience with Joe - Had an absolutely awesome afternoon with Joe yesterday. I was the only booking for the day so it was really a private tasting. I didn’t really expect the tasting to go ahead with only one person so was very pleasantly surprised. The communication was also great leading up to tasting.
Joe was extremely knowledgeable about the intricacies of all the different sake tasted and had a wealth of information.
He also gave me many tips and suggestions for the rest of my time in Japan. He is a real “food” guy.
If you’re interested in trying sake, definitely book this tour. You won’t be disappointed.
Thanks again Joe.

Excellent - Other than the place is different than stated and I went to the wrong place first, once we found it, the instructor was excellent. Really knew his stuff and we were given many different ones to try. Even gave us a sheet to take home so we would know what to buy.
