Overview

Beginning in the Fushimi district of Kyoto, your guide will take you through the streets of this charming, sake brewing district where you will see various traditional and modern sake breweries and get a sense of the areaā€™s 400-year-old sake brewing tradition. During the tour, you will eat a seasonal lunch in a local restaurant before heading out to the Gekkeikan Okura Sake museum where a brief history of Japanese sake can be understood. Since they have been making sake since 1637, with a nearly 4 centuries-old process, you will really see how things have been done for generations. You will also get a chance to see the Sake brewery and the traditional brewing process which involves a combination of water, malt, yeast and steamed rice. You will visit both a small and large sake brewery to get a sense of the differences of scale and of course try their sake and other products.

Great experience

Published on Nov, 2024

A great experience, learning about Sake and tasting Sake. Eduardo was an excellent guide, showing us around the area and pointing out areas of historical interest, like the ā€˜Cowboyā€™ Samurai. I would highly recommend the tour.

Excellent experience!

Published on Apr, 2024

We had an excellent time on our Sake Brewery tour! We learned a lot about different types of sake and how they are made. Sae our tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to anyone!

A great Sake tasting and education

Published on Aug, 2023

I cannot say enough about our tour with Sae - she was such a pleasure to be with on our tour. We received so much information about sake and the differences between gingo etc. - she provided such great insight to enhance our experience. We have done a fair amount of sake drinking but this was by far the best. Great to see a part of Kyoto where we could never have visited on our own!

Fantastic tour!!

Published on May, 2023

Our guide Sae was wonderful ā€” so knowledgeable and kind ā€” and taught us so much about Sake! The tour was so fun and the lunch was delicious. My husband and I chose the tour on our honeymoon and it was definitely a highlight! We learned about Japanese customs, manners, sake, and more, and Sae was a perfect guide, adding helpful and interesting info as we strolled place to place. Definitely recommend for any trip to Kyoto!!

Kyoto Sake Tour - great for sake enthusiasts!

Published on May, 2023

Me and my two friends ended up being the only people on our Sake Tour, so we unintentionally got a private tour. Sae was an amazing guide, she had so much knowledge but was also so friendly and easy to talk to! The Gekkeikan Museum was super informative, I learned so much about the brewing process that I didn't know before - we were really curious about the production process and both Sae and the museum staff were wonderful about answering our questions. Throughout the stops we sampled around 15 different kinds of sake, and Sae went above and beyond, asking us each which types we liked best and making sure we could read the labels and know the terms to ask for the kinds of sake we wanted. The tasting with a sake sommelier at the end of the tour was also a highlight. An amazing tour, 10/10 would recommend!
