Overview

This is not just a sake tasting—it’s a deep cultural immersion into Kyoto’s living heritage. Unlike tours that visit only one location, this experience brings you to two of Kyoto’s most respected and contrasting breweries: Sasaki Brewery and Matsui Brewery. Guided by a seasoned sake expert, you'll gain rare insight into the subtle differences in brewing philosophy, taste, and tradition.

What truly sets this tour apart is the unhurried pace and depth of storytelling. With ample time at each brewery, you won’t feel rushed—you’ll be able to engage all five senses, ask questions, and truly connect with the heart of Japan’s sake culture. Whether you're a sake novice or a seasoned enthusiast, this tour offers an enriching, authentic, and memorable Kyoto experience you won’t find anywhere else.
