A sake-filled adventure

We had such an amazing time on our sake tour in Japan! 🍶🇯🇵 My sister and I had the best experience exploring the sake museums, learning about the history and process of sake-making, and, of course, tasting an incredible 22 different types of sake! Our guide was wonderful, and the entire experience was fun, informative, and such a memorable part of our trip. It was the perfect combination of Japanese culture, history, and tasting something new. My sister and I had so much fun together and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Japan! ❤️🍶 Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Highly recommend!

Such a lovely tour, my friend and I can highly recommend it! Yuki was excellent at explaining the history behind sake and she was such pleasant company. We had a lovely time, learned a lot, and got to see some parts of Kyoto we wouldn’t have seen otherwise! Thank you for the wonderful experience ❤️
