  Better at spotting (and drinking) sake - We had a blast on our tour of the Geikkekan Sake Museum and throughout the tasting. Our guides did a great job walking us through the different types of sake... read more and how to know not just which ones we liked—both with and without food through the tasting—but also how to identify them ourselves in the wild. Also, they were fun and very courteous with their time and insights. It was just the two of us, so it was like a private tour, but would be fun with a bigger group as well. Definitely recommend!

  COME CHECK THEM OUT - Kiyomi was awesome and so entertaining!! She answered all of our questions and is so good at her job!! Thank you so much!! If you are ever in this area,... read more please check this experience out!

  Before that I didnt like sake and after that I bought some bottles to bring home.  - It was a great experience. The sake was good and the presentation was great. After that I even bought some sake bottles to bring home.

  Sake tour worth it  - The tour was great. Started with a history of sake at the museum. We had two tour guides both were great (Kiyomi and Kyoka). After the museum, we got a... read more tasting of 10+ sakes. Very knowledgeable on both the history and tasting.

  Best thing to do in Kyoto - Amazing experience.

It was exactly what my friend and I were looking for. We went to some tastings before where we left feeling none the wiser about the culture... read more surrounding sake, the variety of flavour profiles and the brewing process. The Insider Sake Experience changed all of that! Our guides were informative and personable with a great sense of humour. But most importantly their love for sake was evident for all of us to see.

Before any tasting we were given an in-depth tour of a brewery where we learned about the brewing process and the history of sake in Kyoto and Japan.

By the end, we had over 10 different types of Sake all of which were explained in detail. Yet we were also encouraged to develop our own opinions and pallet along the way too.

The food pairing was a major highlight too. If you want to know more about sake this is the experience for you. 10/10

  Terrific time - Wonderful experience with Kiyomi & Kiyoko learning about sake history and enjoying some wonderful sake. Great learning experience, very fun and also Oishiiiii!!!!!

  Enlightening behind-the-scenes look at the world of sake - I had a blast having Greg and Chika as our guide! They led us through one of the oldest sake breweries in Japan and gave detailed (and often humorous) explanations... read more of the sake brewing process. During the sake tasting experience, they also taught use how to differentiate between sake bottles even without needing prior Japanese knowledge, which is highly useful information to have during my trip around other areas of Japan. Greg and Chika were great guides, so I highly recommend giving this tour a shot (no pun intended) if you're at all interested in the delicious world of sake!
