Great tour - Great tour. The guide was lovely and she really taught us a lot. Good to try many different types of sake and appreciated the ceramic cup instead of disposable plastic one.

Best Sake Tour! - Shiori was an excellent guide. Her love of Saijo was so evident as we walked to each location. Each brewery was proud and happy to discuss their product, and we had such a good time touring the town and sampling the sakes. This was a great little detour from Hiroshima and SUCH a great experience!

Highly recommended - We had a lovely tour of the seven breweries in Saijo with Masa-san. He was very knowledgable and patient with us and helped at the end to go back to buy some of the sake from the breweries that were still open.

Loved it - We had the sweetest lady as our guide and taught us so much about the sake making process. It was raining so you would think it would be a less then an enjoyable experience but it was the opposite!!
