Thank you Rika-san! - Strong recommendation. We learned about sake and had a lot of fun. Rika was a great guide. We talked a lot during the tasting about Japan and travel. I’ve been in Japan 4 times already and yet she still managed to recommend a bunch of places I’ve never been before. We had plans after the tour but I wished we didn’t. The Fushimi neighborhood was everything you imagine about Japan and I wanted to stay more.

Great time tasting Saki in Kyoto - We had a great time on our Saki tasting tour. Rika was a fantastic guide; she explained all of the history of the Saki production in Kyoto and was very friendly and personable. We couldn’t have asked for a better host to guide us through this amazing g experience.

Sake - We had Rika aa our guide and she was absolutely amazing. So friendly and knowledgeable about the making of sake. She provided great translation for us when we sat down to order food at the restaurant while we had our 18 shots of sake. We had a great conversation with her and she even helped us back to a station to get back to our hotel. She took us down Fushimi shopping street to purchase some goods. We had such a great time with Rika! My family of three were the only ones in the group so it was truly a special time together. Thank you Rika!

Great sake tour! - The guide, Rika, was very knowledgeable about the history of the sake places we visited, as well as sake in general. Her English was great and she answered all the questions the group had with ease and genuinelysemed to enjoy her time with us. The stops on the tour were not too far from each other and we walked through some streets on which people live, giving it a "local" feel (as opposed to a touristy feel). The food at the last place was amazing (for a separate price). This last stop had 19 sake tastings, as well as 3 at the first stop.

Good enough sake tour - Very nice tour guide. Her English was excellent. She unfortunately did not know a great deal about the different types of sake. There was more than enough sake to taste
