Sakesmakingkurs med en sakeprofesjonell i Tokyo

Joe was an amazing sake teacher. He was very knowledgeable about sale and the process of creating sake. By the end we were all a little sake buzzed with a total of 10ish tastings and it was so fun!!

I recently had the pleasure of joining Max for a sake tasting in Tokyo with my son — and what an unforgettable experience it was. Max is not just a host; he’s a passionate storyteller, educator, and sake connoisseur who made the evening both enriching and deeply enjoyable. From the moment we arrived, Max created a warm, relaxed atmosphere that encouraged exploration and learning. His knowledge of sake — from brewing techniques and regional varieties to pairing tips and cultural context — was exceptional. Every pour came with a story, and every sip deepened our appreciation. This wasn’t just a tasting; it was a journey through Japan’s sake culture. Whether you’re a complete novice or a seasoned enthusiast, you’ll leave with a new perspective and palate. Highly recommended — Max delivers a truly world-class experience in the heart of Shinjuku. Thank you for the memories!

Fantastic experience. Max was amazing and explained everything to great detail. Happily recommend to anyone

Super expérience ! J’en connais désormais plus grâce à Tadashi, notre hôte et master Saké. Nous avons passé un moment très agréable à comparer les différentes saveurs avec deux autres personnes. Nous étions un petit groupe de 5 et c’était parfait. Je recommande fortement de manger un peu avant de venir !! Merci encore Tadashi 😊

A fun afternoon - I knew absolutely nothing about Sake when we began this activity and I certainly had a greater appreciation for the subtleties of it afterwards. Our teacher was extremely knowledgeable and, as well as explaining how the provided snacks paired with the tastings, it was an experience I would highly recommend.

We really enjoyed this class with Andrea and learned a few things about Sake- the process it takes to produce it, different types of Sake and how to classify them and some funny facts about it! I personally really enjoyed the vastly different flavors of the different Sake we tasted. I can only recommend this activity, it was a lot of fun :)

Tadashi was GREAT. Informative and fun. highly recommend taking this class at the beginning of your trip to Japan so you can be prepared to order sales that you like.

An awesome crash course in all things sake. Hawaii Joe covers a lot of territory (and sake!) in two hours, but while jampacked with info the session was laidback and casual. We got lucky with a top-shelf tasting group which only added to the fun. Good to do early in uour trip as it has certainly set us up for the rest of our sake-drinking adventures (his tips alone are worth the peice of admission). Kanpai!

Joe's knowledge of sake is exceptional. After attending his sake tasting class I have a deeper appreciation and understanding of how to enjoy sake. His jokes were funny too!

A great insight into the world of sake and the differences especially between traditional and some of the new methods
