  A wonderful sake experience. - I was introduced to sake recently and wanted to learn more about sake. I am so glad that I signed up for this Sake experience, and I learnt more from... read more this experience than from the Sake course I attended in Singapore. Kotaro, our guide, not only explained everything in detail, he also made the understanding of the processes easier. After the museum, we took a short walk to the office where we experienced sake and food pairing - this was another mind blowing experience. If you visiting Kyoto, this is one of the tours that you should experience.

For Kotaro, thank you so much for your sharing so much with us.

But I learned so much on this tour, filling in a ton of gaps in my knowledge around history, rice varieties, different production methods, food pairing strategies, and styles that are less popular and usually hard to find in the US. The hosts Momoko and Kotaro were awesome and sent me off with great advice on other places in Kyoto to check out to find more sake.

There were others on the tour who were not very familiar with sake and they were very satisfied as well, so I believe this is a good tour for any beginner/intermediate level sake fan. I hope to make it back to Kyoto someday to attend their advanced sake tour!
