Review for: 3-Hour Kyoto Insider Sake Experience

Wow moment honestly!! The best tour we've experienced in Japan. Mayo thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion. As someone who doesn't really drink alcohol, you put your energy into including me and help me find the style of Nihonshu (sake) I do enjoy. From this moment forward I had the confidence to know what I wanted to read labels in Japan.

The tour had throughly introduced the processes of making Sake, explained what's the difference between different type of Sake. This make a person like me who had no experience with Sake found interesting. The instructor, Miyuki had been patient and helpful within the whole tour. Will 100% come back for the advance tour if we are coming back to Koyoto.

The tour was amazing. Now we know quite more about sake history and differences between sake types. Now we can choose sake by our own taste preferences.

Momoko was a fantastic guide, as she really went into detail about the history of sake (specifically the distillery we were at), and was very knowledgeable about the different kinds of sake. Well worth doing if you’ve ever been curious or wanted to improve your knowledge of the drink.
