Great tour for an afternoon of fun! - Naru was an excellent tour guide. He was able to navigate a couple of situations that were not of his own making but kept the tour moving and positive. He was informative and fun. The tasting at the end was an excellent end cap, and so delicious!! Bring water if it's hot out, you will get your steps.

Nice tour with a lot of different sakes ! - We went to the same tour with our (for the day) private guide Nami. A really nice guide, who could tell us a lot about sake & as someone who’s never had sake it was nice to get to know the basics. I really enjoyed the tour. We could drink in total 22 different sakes.
