I booked this tasting for my brother who is a fiend for sake, but my husband and I are not big drinkers. This was an incredibly fun adventure! Emiko is so knowledgeable about the entire process and brought laminated pictures to demonstrate her points! She's had such an interesting life and worked in several breweries herself! I knew nothing about sake aside that it was made from rice and now I can tell you all about that rice and what happens to it! And that was just the learning part! The drinking part was even better! Luckily at the location, she was able to grab them all so easily and then we could buy any of the ones we liked! It was so charming how much she new about the old AND new breweries. We tried so many different sakes I feel like an expert now! We got to learn about where each was made and their families of breweries! Emiko is so charming and personable I can't recommend this experience more! She even helped us find a restaurant afterwards to help soak up all the alcohol! If you're even minutely curious about sake you should definitely book with Emiko and get an unforgettable experience!!

All I can say is WOW. I took this tour with Ryo and Momo with a colleague and fellow whiskey lover. To say we were impressed is an understatement. The tour of first the shire and then the Golden Gai area was informative and just the right level of detail before diving into the tasting. The tasting was superb, with an amazing selection of superb Japanese Whiskeys complemented by snacks and a light meal. The conversation, knowledge sharing and food and drink all exceeded all our expectations! Thank you Ryo and Momo for the unforgettable memories. Can’t wait to come back on my next trip. I’ll certainly book this tour again!

My family from the US and I learned a lot about sake, and we got to try various delicious sake at the store. Eriko was a fantastic host. She explained the process of making sake and answered our questions with patience. I could feel her passion for sake from the way she talks about her favorite breweries in the country. The bar was a bit small but there was space for a big group of 5 (and we are not Japanese-sized!) We recommend this experience for those who are new to sake and are looking for an English-speaking guide.

Best Food and Drink Tasting Experiences in Japan

Want to learn how to order Japanese whisky like a pro, distinguish between the different types of Japanese sake, or brew the perfect cup of tea? These tastings in Japan will link you to specialists in their fields, so you can get insider tips and info about the world of Japanese beverages. Japanese sake enthusiasts can tour sake breweries, enjoy tastings of raw sake, and indulge in pairings of Japanese sake and sushi; while tea lovers can find zen in a cup of matcha and a bite of traditional Japanese sweets.

Book tastings in Japan and learn all about your favorite drinks, like sake and tea, which have been a vital part of Japanese culture for centuries and are still significant today. Matcha tea plays the starring role in the Japanese tea ceremony, a tradition that has its roots in Zen Buddhism and Japanese hospitality. Meanwhile, amazake, a fermented rice drink, is consumed during the Japanese New Year; and barrels of Japanese sake can be seen at many shrines, offerings from the breweries with symbolic and spiritual significance. During your trip, be sure to join a tasting in Japan and get a taste of the history and culture of the land of the rising sun.
