Aula de Degustação de Saquê com um Profissional de Saquê em Tóquio

Joe was an amazing sake teacher. He was very knowledgeable about sake 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!!

We booked for 10/18, and Hawaii Joe was a great host. Super knowledgeable and helped us with a ton of questions that we can take home for our future Sake purchases. Great pairings and great time!

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!

Super experience! I now know more thanks to Tadashi, our host and Sake Master. We had a very pleasant time comparing the different flavors with two other people. We were a small group of 5 and it was perfect. I highly recommend eating a little before coming!! Thanks again Tadashi 😊

Una tarde divertida: no sabía absolutamente nada sobre el sake cuando comenzamos esta actividad y, sin duda, después de ella tuve una mayor apreciación por sus sutilezas. Nuestro profesor tenía un conocimiento excepcional y, además de explicar cómo los aperitivos proporcionados combinaban con las degustaciones, fue una experiencia que recomendaría encarecidamente.

Un curso intensivo increíble sobre todo lo relacionado con el sake. Hawaii Joe cubre mucho terreno (¡y sake!) en dos horas, pero aunque estaba repleto de información, la sesión fue relajada e informal. Tuvimos suerte con un grupo de cata de primera categoría que solo añadió más diversión. Es bueno hacerlo al principio de tu viaje, ya que sin duda nos ha preparado para el resto de nuestras aventuras de sake (sus consejos por sí solos valen el precio de la entrada). ¡Kanpai!

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 :)

Fantastische Erfahrung. Max war großartig und hat alles sehr detailliert erklärt. Kann ich jedem gerne weiterempfehlen.

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!

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