The most memorable experience ever

Published on Apr, 2025

Oh wow. We have been on tours via Viator all over the world - Europe, America, you name it. But nothing has come close to our experience with Shinobu today. We visited spots that are not touristy, local, and had a chance to really experience what the locals see in terms of sake. We tried a huge range of sakes that completely changed our views for sake. And talk about being educational..I learned so many fun facts about sake that it makes me want to drink more sake and appreciate it so much more. I'm hoping to come back to Japan next year and hop on another tour with Shinobu. He made this the beat experience ever and definitely the highlight of our Japan trip. Thank you!

Exceptional.

Published on Apr, 2025

It was wonderful. Our guide was attentive and explained things well. He seemed to be enjoying it as much as we were. His English was great.

Nice sake!

Published on Jan, 2025

We tried various sake on the tour and enjoyed a lot. Not only Todaiji, Kasuga taisha shrine, but the sake tour is here, in Nara.

Nara Sake Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

I took part in a sake tour of Nara.The first place we visited was a standing bar where we were able to try some popular local sake. The atmosphere in the store was very nice and the staff were very friendly. At Harushika Brewery,I compared the taste of five different types of sake.It was a very delicious sake with depth of flavor. I was able to learn about the history of sake and breweries, and gain a deeper understanding of the appeal of sake.The smoked Narazuke snack was also very delicious.Here you can buy sake and souvenirs. The tour guide gave us a detailed explanation of Nara's history and sake.I had a friendly chat with the guide.The streets of Nara had a historic feel to them. I also had the chance to stop by many different stores and enjoy eating and shopping around the streets of Nara. Thank you for a very enjoyable tour!

A great tour intro into NARA and Sake!

Published on Dec, 2024

I really enjoyed this tour! Our tour guide provided a lot of great information in Nara and took me to the brewery and local bar that would have been hard to find otherwise. All the sake I drank was really good!
