We had a fantastic time....

Published on Apr, 2025

We had a fantastic time. Our tour guide Kazumi was great. She was very knowledgable about sake. During the walking tour we also visited a pepper shop and a temple.

Great layover in Nagano

Published on Apr, 2025

My husband and I went on the sake tour in April. It was the perfect tour for a brief stop in Nagano. We toured a sake facility, tasted delicious sake, and learned a lot about the local city. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend tour with expert local guide

My wife and daughter booked The Sake tasting tour in Nagano thru Viator and enjoyed every part of the tour. We met Masa, our guide, at the Nagano station and begin walking toward the Zenkoji temple (which is part of the tour). Masa, who is a native person from Nagano but spent several years living in UK (which is why his English was perfect), explain to us the in and out of the Zenkoji temple which only local knows. We spent about 1 hour at the temple before we headed out to the Sake Brewery (Yoshinoya Brewery). At the brewery, we tasted all kinds of Sake and the ingredients that affect the taste. How the rice is polish, the yeast, etc. We tried at least 10 small cup of sake ranging from the most basic up to the top shelf, even a non-alcoholic Sake which is very interesting (taste exactly like the real thing). During this time, Masa explain to us all the procedure and highlight. All and all we are very happy with the Sake Walking Tour and top it is Masa's easy going and knowledgable insight of the subject. Very highly recommeded and if possible ask for Masa to be the guide

We had a great time with Masa on this tour! It was nice exploring Nagano and Zenkoji Temple before the sake tasting. Masa was very knowledgable and shared local recommendations. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Nagano!
