Review for: Takayama: Authentic Sake Tasting at a Historic Brewery

Yuki is a very professional tour guide who can communicate smoothly in English. He is very knowledgeable about the winemaking process and winery equipment. His explanations are very clear and easy to understand. The wine tasting activity explained the categories of sake in detail. He tried a variety of wines. A pleasant trip, recommended to everyone.

Review for: Takayama: Authentic Sake Tasting at a Historic Brewery

Great way to learn about how sake is made. Apparently tours like this are not common in sake breweries, that’s why a tour company is putting it together. The tour company charges ¥4000 if you book directly with them in the middle of town. There was a mark up on the Klook price, and that was unfortunate.

The experience was special. It was a rare opportunity to enter a sake brewery. The guide, Mr. Shirakawa, was especially kind and his explanations were easy to understand. I think it was fun! Thank you♪

The tour is very good! Our guide was very funny and knew so much about sake. We would really recommend it! p.s. on Klook it said it would take about 30 minutes, but it is more like 60 minutes. So take that into account when you are planning your day.

I loved this tour! I was lucky enough to be the only one signed up for my time slot, so Mu took a lot of extra time showing me around and answering my questions. I highly recommend this informative and delicious tour!
