Beyond Junmai Daiginjo
Most people think Junmai Daiginjo is always the highest quality sake. We disagree. This experience goes beyond what restaurants, bars, and most sake guides will ever tell you — exploring traditional brewing methods, minimally polished rice, and rare fermentation techniques through 10 specially curated sakes.

Informative and delicious! - Highly recommend this tour if you’re even remotely interested in sake (or wine in general). I learned so much about how the process of making sake highly influences the final... read more taste, which is VERY different from wine-making! I didn’t expect sake to be able to taste strongly of different fruits just from changes in the processing (no fruit additives)! The tasting/food pairing was a great way to experience those differences firsthand. Honestly after this tour I’m convinced more people wordwide need to get on board with sake, especially if you’re a wine person, because it’s such a versatile drink. Our sake sommelier Kotaro-san was an incredible host and extremely knowledgeable. If I’m ever back in Kyoto I’ll definitely be going back here for the advanced tasting tour!

2026-09-05 Great experience - A great tour/experience. Our guide, Kyoko was fantastic. Her English is fluent so she was able to fully explain all the nuances of the many different options with sake.... read more I highly recommend doing this tour.

2026-09-04 A Fantastic and Informative Sake Experience in Kyoto! 🍶 - A fantastic sake experience in Kyoto!
I really enjoyed this experience. The guide was excellent and created a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Everything was explained through interesting stories in... read more a very clear and easy-to-understand way. We also had a very nice group, which made the sake tasting even more enjoyable. I learned much more than I expected about sake—its history, how it is made, the different types, how to taste and appreciate it, and especially how different sakes pair with different foods. I can now share a lot of interesting information about sake with my friends. Highly recommended!

2026-08-25 - I have become more knowledgable about sake! - I had such a great time attending the sake class. Before the class, I only knew what sake taste like. After the class, I now have a much better appreciation... read more of how sake is made and the many different kinds of sake I can get in the store and how they will taste. I gain so much knowledge by this class. Next time I am in Kyoto, I will definitely attend the advanced class to continue the learning.

2026-08-20 A must for anyone who wants to learn about and try sakes! - My husband and I absolutely LOVED this experience! Kotaro, our sake tasting guide (who was assisted by Mitch), was so knowledgeable. He led us through a tasting of more than... read more 10 sakes, and along the way taught us so much about sake's history; how variations in the production process and ingredients impact the taste; how to read sake bottles so we can choose ones we most enjoy; and ideas for how to pair different sakes with different foods. We have so much insight to take with us to purchase sake or order it at restaurants, or to purchase bottles for ourselves or others. This was far better than many wine tastings we have done (and we have done a lot!). Thanks, Kotaro!

2026-08-12 Excellent sake tasting class! - I loved this class! Such wonderful information, the sake and food together were delicious, and the whole experience was very personal. I have an even greater appreciation for... read more sake now, and know a lot more about it. One of my trip highlights!
