Kyoto Japanese Sake 1-day Tours

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.

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.

Had fun with family making our own sake cup and enjoying the countryside

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!

Yuki was an incredible guide, kind and filled with so much insightful information about Ayabe and Japan in general. Everything about this tour was so special! The wood shop was awesome and the cups are such a unique souvenir, along with delicious food and amazing sake!

We've had such an great time! Teruyuki, our guide, was amazing. He came to pick us up at the station, showed us around Ayabe and even gave us advices on what to do and eat in our next destination. Jin, from the lumbering place, was so nice. He explained and accompanied us so well, we where so happy and proud to make our own sake cups! We ate at a very cute and traditional restaurant. The owner was such a nice and warm lady. Finally, we went to the sake brewery. It was really interesting to learn about the sake making process. Thank you so much to you all, especially Teruyuki who made us want to know more about Ayabe! See you again :)

We just had the best day - thank you Teruyuki! The sake cup making was a heap of fun and Jin was a helpful and friendly host. Lunch at Chatsubo Yoshida was delicious and the matcha was wonderful. Our visit to Wakamiya Sake Brewery in the afternoon was an excellent way to finish the day. Delicious sake and lots of interesting info about sake brewing. Teruyuki is a knowledgeable, friendly and fun guide and we will be back to Ayabe soon!
