We loved this workshop so much. The space is beautiful and so inspiring. We ended up taking a long watch on the trail through persimmon groves and found so many gems along the way including a magical in home tea house. Make the trip! It’s worth it.

Very informative tour, we learned a lot about the soy sauce making process while sitting in the facilities that the soy sauce is made. The guide and everyone is the town were very welcoming, nice and eager to chat with us. We also got to participate in a parade on the way to our dango tasting which was a very unique experience.

This was a top experience for us in Japan. It had everything we were looking for- a educational learning experience, a cultural exchange, supporting a local shop and a functional personalized souvenir we could bring home and remember Japan We loved everything about it

We had such a good time on our tour, it was truly a unique experience! We purchased a few extra bottles, but I wish we could have brought home even more of this incredible sauce!

Absolutely incredible! The guides were so friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The soy sauce itself tastes amazing and so does the dango! This is a MUST do during a trip to Japan.
