Enjoyable and informative tasting. - Hiroman was an excellent guide with good knowledge and a welcoming style. It was a sunny cold afternoon but the walk between breweries was not too long and there were a couple of stops to enjoy snacks and sake. As well as the tastings the breweries had displays explaining the sake making process, as well as gift shops selling sake and related products. I would recommend this tour.

Exceptional 5 star sake tour - Hiro was an outstanding guide—warm, professional, and wonderfully knowledgeable—who made the tour both enjoyable and enlightening. She vividly explained why Nada/Kobe is Japan’s premier sake region (Rokko Mountain water, cold fermentation winds, Yamada Nishiki rice) and guided us through the sake essentials (rice, water, yeast, koji) . She personalized the experience, welcomed questions, gave clear hands-on demonstrations, and enriched the tour with touching local stories about shrine traditions and the region’s inspiring recovery after the 1995 earthquake. Highly recommended — a truly memorable, five-star sake experience!

Sake saved our day! - Without a doubt this is the tour you are looking for. Welcoming, engaging, and most importantly delicious, this tour gives you a full experience for Japanese sake and how it’s made. Our guide, Romi, was beyond fabulous. For outside reasons we were more than 1 hour delayed before arriving. Throughout, we were kept informed of where we needed to be with clear and considerate information - and because of this we were able to join the tour halfway through. When we arrived we were seamlessly welcomed into the group and were able to have a fantastic experience; and our guide stayed on after the end of the tour to make sure we could try the sake we had missed out on! Making a reservation at a separate establishment for us and another couple in the group. She absolutely went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves, and turned an otherwise very stressful day into a brilliant experience. Do not hesitate in choosing this tour over any of the others - we can do nothing but recommend it.

If you want a fun experience with friends and try different sake, this is it! - If you want to explore a variety of sake then this trip is for you. Hiroman did an excellent job oof explaining the different types of sake and how sake is made. Plus he provided extra sake along the way. Everyone had a good time with Hiroman. This would be a fun tour with friends as well.
