Amazing Tour! - Naru was awesome! The entire tour and tasting experience gave me insight into the sake crafting experience. The tasting offered a large variety of sake to try and Naru was very informative about the entire situation.

Top 20% - an incredible tour and guide - Hikari our tour guide was fantastic. She took time to explain things off the tour path and took extra time on the tour. She also took so many photos for each couple and the group. She made it amazing and would highly recommend! We finished the flight of Sake! Top 20%. But our guide Hikari top 1%!
