The history of Sake and a tour ✅. Sake tasting ✅➕. Great guide and company ✅✅➕➕. This was a great idea. - We not only received a Sake crash course, but also Kyoto history relating to it (and beyond). It doesn’t hurt that Matt was very charming and enthusiastic.

Excellent tour that ended... - Excellent tour that ended up being private. We visited one of the major sake distilleries in Kyoto and afterwards went to an izakaya to try all kinds of sake. Can really recommend for people that want to learn more about sake making and the drink itself.
