Shizuoka 饮品之旅

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.

A great introduction to sake brewing and tasting. Seeing the tools and learning how sake is made helped me understand the process better. The guide was friendly and did his best to explain everything clearly. A short handout or tasting overview would help overcome language barriers. Still, a very enjoyable first brewery experience.

This experience was amazing. We came all the way from Hawaii, stayed in Tokyo and caught the Shinkansen to Hamamatsu just for this. It did not disappoint! Our guide Teresa was so nice and did an excellent job at interpreting for sensei, who also taught us so much about the shoyu making process. We will never forget this experience!!!
