Brilliant sake discovery! - WHAT AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE! I thought I knew my way around sake before I came to this tour but Aki opened my eyes and palate to much much more about his country’s rice-brewed beverage. No sake tasting or experience I’ve had in the US was this detailed, educational, or delicious. Furthermore. You’ll try several sakes with Aki that you’ll never have access to back home. 100% recommend, and it’s a fine price especially if you reach out and book direct!

Sake tasting experience in Shinjuku - Really enjoyed this one on one tasting session with Aki. He was punctual, friendly and really knows his Sake. While sampling a range, from dry and smooth to sweet and chilled, Aki shared his detail knowledge on all things Sake. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys this unique Japanese drink or wants to discover it.

Informative, interactive, indulgent! - The sake tasting was wonderful. As someone who enjoys fine wines and whiskeys, it was a treat to experience a different cultures delicacies. I am a very empirical person, so Akira's presentation that consisted of a variety of sales with infographics and information, was very helpful to understand the most about sakes. I plan on taking home what I learned and sharing it with friends and family, I will be seeing the guide again when I come back to Japan. I enjoyed his work so much that I booked one of the other tours he guides. Funny, intelligent, and handsome ;)

Lots of sake and learning! - This is our second tour with Aki. We had so much fun on the food and tavern tour that we wanted to try the sake with him! Both experiences were fun and I got to try lots of different sakes and learn more.

A short and powerful introduction to sake - 평소 사케에 대해 알고 싶어 도쿄 거주하는 친구와 함께 방문했습니다 전문적인 설명을 듣고 여러 사케를 시음할 수 있었습니다 매우 유익했습니다 I visited with a friend who lives in Tokyo because I wanted to learn more about sake. We were able to taste various kinds of sake while listening to professional explanations. It was very informative

A fun way to learn about sake - We had the best time! Aki is a great guide for all things sake -- he is very knowledgable and good at sharing his expertise. We learned so much, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute! It was well worth the price -- we were very lucky that it was just the two of us.
