Japan Gluten-free Japanese Whisky Tastings

Our guide, Laiana, was absolutely superb. She was personable, knowledgeable and warm. By the end of the tour, we had forgotten that she was a tour guide. It felt like we were exploring the city with a friend who wanted to show us her favorite spots.

An excellent overview of what Sake is and the kinds of Sake available. Highly recommended 👌

This was a very informative and excellent experience. The folks at the Japan Sake and Shochu Information Center are very knowledgeable and represent the community of Sake and Shochu makers professionally and with respect for the integrity of the art. We learned so much in one hour and we walked away with meaningful and valuable gifts that we were not expecting at all. The presentation packed enough information that gave us an appreciation for the complexity of the characteristics of sake and left us inspired to learn more. Definitely choose to learn from these industry experts. You won’t see sake the same after this.

We really enjoyed our guided tasting and educational talk with Shuso yesterday. Fantastic experience. We’ll travel now with a much better understanding of japan’s food and sake culture.

I work in the spirits & tourism industry and this was a truly special experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable, professional and personable and an excellent host. The information shared on the tasting was, at first glance, quite surface level, but we asked quite a lot of questions and so were given a good deal of extra information which went further than what was presented. The samples served were all delicious, and very different from each other, and very generous in amount as well. We learnt a lot and would definitely recommend this to other guests. Thank you for having us!

A great introductory session to sake. We really loved the lesson and the quiz. If you have 60 minutes, this is 100% worth it - if anything, try and do this BEFORE you hit the town and get a little knowledge and history under your belt!

We had such a lovely time with Thomas! He was very knowledgeable, engaging and funny! We gained great insight into Japanese whiskey culture and discovered new favorites.

We had a fantastic time at the Sake and Shochu Information Center! The Sake tasting included a short informative presentation and a tasting of 8 sakes. There was even a fun little quiz at the end, which we thought was very fun! Our hosts were very accommodating and kind. We would definitely recommend this experience to others!

The whiskey and sake tasting tour led by Thomas was incredible! Thomas was a very knowledgable host and was a great guide who explained everything given to us from proper etiquette, to history in great detail. The places he took us to for the whiskey and sake tasting and also the restaurant for dinner were absolutely incredible in terms of quality of food and atmosphere. Some of which were some of the best foods and drinks I’ve had so far! Absolutely must try and would gladly book again!

Had a wonderful time on this tour thanks to our extremely knowledgeable guide, Gabriela. She took us to all the bars and restaurants and I enjoyed every one we went to. The staff at each place we went to were so nice and very engaging. Gabriela herself was very friendly and personable, and she gave great recommendations on what to order. I have lived in Japan for almost 6 months now, but on this tour I was able to try some foods that I have never eaten before. Gabriela taught us a lot, not just about food, but also about the places we visited and then Japan/Japanese society and culture from a broader perspective. Got a lot of fresh insight to life in Japan. Arigato Gabriela, 10/10 recommend!
