Hyogo 일본 사케 시식

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!!!

Tour was wonderful - a great way to try several different types of sake from incredible local brewers. Yuko was fantastic - she is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sake and the local area. Her recommendations were spot-on, including her restaurant recommendation for post-tour dinner. My only critiques were that we didn't get enough time at each brewery, mainly because we had to be at one tour at a specific time, and also that the last stop (Nadagogo Sakedokoro) was closed for a private event. Otherwise, it was a great introduction to local sake.

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
