Very nice sake tour - Kamuzi was a very nice guide! Learned a lot about the different kinds of sake and its history. She also translated conversations so we could talk to salespeople. It is definitely worth going to Higashi-hiroshima for this!

Awesome sake experience! - Exceptional first time sake experience! Our tour guides were very welcoming and kind, wonderful people! We visited 6 breweries where we tasted 7 different sake and got to watch a 10 minutes video on how sake is made. After the tour, we had no choice but to buy our favorite bottles. Kanpai!

An afternoon not to be missed. - My husband and I spent a fantastic afternoon tasting sake in Saijo. Every sake was different but absolutely delicious. Ione was a brilliant guide - her knowledge about the history and process of sake brewing was extensive, but more than that she was a pleasure to spend time with. I would highly recommend this tasting tour.
