        Sake Tasting at a Historic Brewery

        One highlight of the tour is a visit to a 150-year-old family-run sake brewery, where you’ll sample up to five types of Japanese sake, plum wine, or locally crafted whisky. Your guide explains how to properly appreciate the aromas and flavours, helping you enjoy sake like a local. Non-drinkers or underage guests can enjoy snacks or sweets instead.
