日本 饮品品尝

Our guide, Laiana, was absolutely superb. She was personable, knowledgeable and warm. By the end of the tour, we had forgotten that she was a tour guide. It felt like we were exploring the city with a friend who wanted to show us her favorite spots.

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

Ryo and Akiko were fantastic hosts! We learnt a lot about the Golden Gai area, from the Hanazono Shrine to the bars in the area. They were very knowledgeable and friendly in our conversations and whisky tastings. The whiskys were diverse and high quality, and we learnt a lot about the history of whisky in Japan. The food provided was also tasty and accompanied the whiskys very well. We appreciated the planning that went into our tour, including the frequent communication and directions leading up to the day, and asking about our preferred music. We highly recommend this tour to whisky lovers! It was the perfect surprise for my husband’s 50th birthday! Thank you Ryo and Akiko!

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!!!

Rio, the lady bartender, and her assistant on food pairings—all lovely—were exceptional and fun. The bartender was a true Ice Master and she prepared the best miso soup I ever had. I would say not to miss this fun and intimate drinking experience in Tokyo!

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.

Marie was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The tea and the fermented food tastings were excellent. She was a pleasure and we had a wonderful time.

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

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.

From the moment we stepped into the private tea tasting, it felt like entering a completely different world—one defined by calm, care, and an almost reverent appreciation for tea. What truly elevated the entire experience, however, was our teacher. Their depth of knowledge was nothing short of astonishing. Every detail—from the origin of the leaves to the subtle differences in processing methods—was explained with such clarity and passion that it transformed each sip into a story. You could tell this wasn’t just expertise; it was a genuine love for the craft. The tea itself was absolutely exquisite. Each variety we sampled was more nuanced and flavorful than the last, with layers of aroma and taste I had never noticed before. The experience was paired with a thoughtfully prepared selection of food that complemented the teas beautifully. Every bite felt intentional, enhancing the tasting experience and making the whole session feel indulgent without being overwhelming. What surprised me most was just how fun it all was. This wasn’t a stiff or overly formal class—it was engaging, interactive, and filled with moments of delight and discovery. We laughed, asked questions, compared favorites, and left feeling not only more knowledgeable but genuinely inspired. All in all, this private tea tasting was an unforgettable experience and such a unique, enjoyable way to explore the world of tea. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone—even those who think they already know tea.

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.
