Amazing experience. We learned so much about sake and had a lovely time. I still keep the information card in my wallet so I remember what I liked best.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, education, and tasting. Our guides were approachable, humorous and spoke with candor. We came away with a better understanding of sake and the confidence to decipher the unique characteristics to purchase sake in the future. So much so that we are sitting on the Shinkansen enjoying a bottle that we actually knew we would like and why before buying!

Very knowledgeable guide, good English speaker (Australian). This tour is a great introduction to the making of sale and the variety of tastes available. Having a starting knowledge of sale, we discovered a lot of good quality and varied sakes

A fully comprehensive and interesting Sake experience. All bases covered in a really interesting way. Three hours very well spent. I liked also that there was no pressure to buy any products in the brewery store (even though we did - a healthy hands off approach!)

This was one of the best drinking/tasting tours we've ever done. Greg is amazing! Can't recommend it enough. The food pairing really elevates the experience. I learned a ton about sake! And Fushimi is a lovely area to get some peace away from the crowds of Kyoto. Highly recommend.

Greg was fantastatic. One of the best tasting courses we've done on anything from around the world. Bonus for being flexible to accomodate dietary requirements.

I highly recommend this experience. The content was interesting and engaging, and the host was extremely knowledgeable and personable. I wish I'd signed up for the advanced class but I'll do that next time I'm in Kyoto.
