Japanese Sake Factory Tours

My son and I went on the Kobe Sake tour with Mami and Hiro as our hostesses. We had an amazing time visiting the breweries, learning the history of sake making in Nada, and of course, sampling the sake! It was a fun and educational experience that we would not have managed to do ourselves - especially since we managed to visit four breweries on our tour. Fantastic all the way around! Kampai!!!

Very friendly and helpful staff at the Office that helped us when we went to the wrong meetingplace. Thank you! Our guide was very helpful and shared both his sake and deep Kyoto-knowledge with many smiles. We learned a lot about sake and enjoyed the tour very much

It was great and a lot of explanation was given. We learned a lot about the history and culture of the historical Kyoto neighbourhood. We have tasted very nice sake, beer and yakkitori food and the hosts/guides did a great job! Kind regards, Bruno, Flo and Vincent

Anya was a great guide and showed my group some amazing Sake distilleries in Fushimi. We all enjoyed the tour along with the yakitori at the end. We bought multiple bottles of sake that we tried along the way. Would defiantly recommend this tour for anyone interested in sake or would like to visit some local locations.

What a lovely afternoon we had! Hiro was delightful and engaging. I’m really glad I booked this tour, it has been the highlight of my Osaka trip. Thank you so much, I have already sent this recommendation onto a friend who is visiting in a couple of weeks.

I researched a number of options for a sake brewery tour while in Japan on a cruise to various ports. I picked this one and I'm so glad I did! Hiroko-san was a gem of a guide, she was very sweet and nice, and has a great personality that really comes through as well. She was very knowledgeable about the four breweries we visited over our afternoon with her and we learned so much both from her and from the museums inside the breweries we visited. Of course we tasted quite a bit of sake which was very fun and we even had a stop for some tasty tofu to try with hot sake, which was delicious. I cannot recommend this tour or our guide Hiroko-san highly enough. "Hero", many thanks for a great afternoon! It was really the highlight of our time in Japan to meet you and spend that time together. Arigato! -Normandy Madden

The guides were very pleasant and answered questions. I felt I knew somewhat more about saki and brewing methods at the end of the tour.

Booked a sake tour on our first day in Japan as a way to become immersed in Japan and Seigo totally delivered. He is a total gentleman, with the knowledge of a scholar and skills and experience of a professional. We were very impressed by his in depth facts and historical context of every street, shop, and brewer. He is a certified sake sommelier and possibly the nicest, kindest person. We spent a great deal of time together talking about topics outside his wheelhouse too with great comfort. I would recommend this tour, and Seigo in particular, for anyone seeking an authentic, memorable experience.

Karen, our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the area. She brought us to sake breweries which sold very good sake. She even brought us to a hole in the wall eatery which we would have never known about. Overall, an excellent trip..

I had a lot of fun and did learn about the different aspects of sake.

Seigo gave a great tour with lots of sake tasting. We liked hearing his stories and local history. Friendly and fun a great day out. nice to meet people and share stories over Sake!
