“I had a private tour with Rika and it was an amazing intro to sake brewing. She was super friendly. Just be prepared—22 tastings can be a lot if you finish every cup!”

“Excellent tour! It was fascinating to learn how sake is made, and the tasting experience was generous. Our guide Rika was knowledgeable, personable, and made the tour very enjoyable.”
