Along the way, guests have the opportunity to sample additional local sake varieties, with the region offering up to 18 unique styles, each reflecting subtle variations in brewing tradition and local water quality.


The experience concludes at a local shrine, where visitors are invited to taste pure Japanese groundwater known for its clarity and cultural significance.

We had an amazing time at the Kyoto Insider Sake Experience! Our guide Shogo was so funny, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. The presentation was easy to follow and helped us truly understand sake, from how it’s made to how to read the labels. We each got our own bottle to explore, tried a wide variety of nihonshu, and even paired them with food to see how flavors changed. The small group made it personal and fun. It was one of the highlights of our Japan trip highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic! A worthwhile experience that connects you into the world of sake (Nihon shu) and it's role within Japanese culture. It was a highlight of our Japan trip and really helped us know what to look for in restaurants. You're in for a real treat as you learn from a true local about the art of making Sake while drinking with new friends. 😁
