Wonderful Sake Tasting - Tadashi was awesome and the sake was super good. I wish we could get unpasturized sake in the US. Left the sake tasting with a good buzz! 😆

An amazing and fun experience - We spent two hours with Joe learning about Saké. Amazing all your wisdom and animation. Really worth it during a stay in Tokyo. We tasted a lot of sakes to understand the various features, with theoretical information and some typical Japanese aperitifs. Thank you

Generous Pours, Great Vibes, Expert Guide - Just finished a sake tasting class with Joe and it was absolutely phenomenal. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and makes the world of sake feel totally approachable. We sampled a wide variety—crisp, dry, fruity, bold—and each one came with a great story. The pours were generous (let’s just say we left with a good buzz!), and Joe kept the energy fun and relaxed throughout. I walked away with a real appreciation for the craft and culture behind sake. Whether you’re a total newbie or already a fan, this class is a blast. Highly recommend!

AMAZING - This place was unforgettable. Hawaiian Joe was the best Sake Expert I’ve encountered. He was so personable and knowledgeable about everything in regards to Sake, the making of it, and the flavors. I now can say that I am an expert on Sake!!!
