일본 비건 일본 사케 주류 투어

The brewery tour was interesting. It was not the season for it to be running but we were able to see all the working parts. The host in Japanese was a bit long winded and thankfully our guide did not translate everything he said but it did make the tour drag on a bit. However all was good as our guide suggested a wonderful place for us to have lunch and end our day on a good note.

Absolute 30 out of 10 experience!!! We had so much fun, can only recommend it to everyone.

If you’re interested in checking out Yatai food stalls in Fukuoka, this is the way to do it! It’s also a great first-night adventure in the city because Bruce is extremely knowledgeable and shares generously. My partner and I spent 4+ hours with Bruce, and we’d do it again in a heartbeat. We walked all over the city and stopped in three different Yatai stalls, eating tapas/pintxos style. Every bite of food and each drink we tried was delicious. It was a great intro to Fukuoka/Hakata, and a perfect way to visit the Yatai stalls, which could be intimidating to navigate for the first time on your own.

Absolutely amazing! Great food and lots of fun. Solid twelve out of 10!!

This was an exceptional whisky tasting experience delivered by my guide Dan. He's very knowleadgeable and passionate about japanese whisky and whisky in general, and the selection chosen for the tasting was very good.

Rika was a great guide! She was very informative, super nice and perfect English :)

The sake tasting and workshop took us on a really fun and eye-opening 2-hour journey. Our instructor, Yuki, was calm, super knowledgeable, and spoke great English. We asked a ton of questions, tasted a lot, had fun, got surprised, and probably challenged Yuki quite a bit—but he handled everything like a pro every time :) It was a really unique experience for Osaka and showed us just how big and fascinating the world of sake actually is—way beyond what we knew before.

While enjoying something as pleasant as sake, this experience also dives deep into its history and production with insights, local stories, and details you really wouldn’t find online. I think it should definitely be part of everyone’s trip. The setting may look simple at first, but it’s actually full of thoughtful details and beautiful objects. Combined with Yuki’s warm and attentive hosting, it creates an amazing atmosphere. We had a great time as a pair, but I can easily imagine that going as a group would turn it into one of the most memorable highlights of a trip.

Hakata yatais are WHERE IT'S AT and there isn't a better person to show you the best places to try out than Bruce. I came to know about Bruce through a Youtube video he did for Japan byFood, so I was fairly sure coming into the tour that we'd be well taken care of. And Bruce did not disappoint! The thing about yatais is that their operational hours and days can be very unpredictable, so you need a tour guide who really knows the yatai scene and is not wedded to following a specific plan or script. Our tour was set for a Sunday night, so when we met Bruce, he explained that, although he had a plan in mind, there was a good chance we'd need to improvise along the way because it was a Sunday night. He proved to be right, as we needed to pivot right from the start because the madam running the first yatai he wanted to introduce to us did not set up for the evening. We ended up hitting a total four yatais, which included Ultra C (great oden), "Riverside Restaurant" (cozy izakaya serving some righteous ramen), Tomochan (grilled skewer goodness), and finally Bar Ebi-chan (literally an awesome bar sitting in the middle of the street run by a very professional couple). We chatted, ate, drank and laughed throughout the evening. Before we knew it, we'd been touring for almost 4 hours. Time flew by so quickly. A sign of a great tour and a great tour guide. We'll see you again, Bruce!

Informative tasting of 20 sakes of all sorts. Good explanation of the various types of sake, how they are made and how/when to drink them. We came away much better informed about the drink, although there wasn't much detail on the individual breweries. All very friendly and low-key. Hosts happy to answer questions. Perhaps a bit rushed. Overall, recommended if you don't know much about sake and want to learn more.

Great sake tasting. Book it. Learned a lot and intimate

Wearing a kimono and enjoying tea while overlooking the coast was relaxing and elegant. The preparation and kimono fitting were enjoyable. Views of Mt. Fuji depend heavily on weather, which may affect expectations. The sweets and tea were pleasant. Best for travelers seeking a calm, scenic experience.
