  We have been on many whiskey, wine, and beer tasting tours. This was one of the most informative and engaging alcohol tasting tours we have experienced. Kyoko was our guide and she was amazing. They start the tour in the Geikkekan Sake museum and discuss the sake production process and how each step influences the sake. You then get to taste three samples of Geikkekan sake. This is followed by a short walk to a tasting room where you sample an additional 10 different sake and includes food pairing for each type of sake. You are able to rate each sake and food pairing and everyone receives a useful tasting card to take with you that explains the different types of sake and their flavor profile. For anyone interested in sake I would highly recommend this tour.

• Engaging and delicious!

  This is a great experience for couples and friends alike who are curious about what they think they know about sake. Because for me at least, there was so much more to sake brewing, sake types (not just hot vs cold), and food pairings that I had never thought about before this experience. Our guide (Kyoko) was fun, easy to follow, and the other people in the group were equally enthusiastic and engaged about the experience. Kyoko, thank you so much for the wonderful memories! - Alissa & Josh (CA, USA)

  Without a doubt, one of the best experiences of my trip to Japan. Momo and Kiyomi were excellent and charming hosts who, with profound knowledge, introduced us to the vast world of sake. It was a truly enriching experience to taste and pair various sakes with food, all with very detailed technical explanations – a perfect combination of flavor and specialized knowledge.

  

  

  

  

• Understanding the basics of Sake

  I am a passionate Sake drinker. As I mentioned in my introduction at the tour, I say I drink a lot of Sake compared to friends and family around me. I even have a consistent stock of Sake at home with my wines, usually based on sake I have tasted in a restaurant or elsewhere and then purchased off the internet. I never really understood what gives the various sake their respective flavours, what to look out for when buying sake or what makes the price difference. Lastly which sake pairs best with which foods. After this tour under the guidance of very knowledgeable Kotaro, our guide, I feel totally enlightened and have a good idea what to look and go for when buying sake in future. You get taken through some sake history at the museum, where one gets an introduction into the basics of sake production, including rice polishing, the essential koji mould, yeast etc, which is brilliant to get an understanding of what makes the difference in taste and in price. Then you come to the "fun" part: the tasting and food pairing 😃 We tried a total of 11 different Sake giving you a full circle of the sake varitied and ranges. We even tasted a 12 year aged sake. These were also paired with various foods and flavours including sweets/desserts. The tour took about 3 hours and our group consisted of 12 guests and one guide. Our guide Kotaro was brilliant. If I have an opportunity I will be doing the "advanced tour". Definitely recommend doing this tour, not only for sake fans, but also those who enjoy having the occasional glass of wine!

• Excellent, knowledgeable tour followed by a very enjoyable tasting.

  We had a wonderful time, guided expertly around Gekkeikan Sake Brewery by Kyoko. We received a detailed history of the brewery, as well as a very knowledgeable explanation of the sake brewing process and it's unique Japanese quirks. Following the tour we enjoyed a preliminary tasting in the brewery itself, where we were able to try 日本酒 (Nihonshu) that is only available to taste or purchase directly on site. After the tour, we were then treated to a very professional tasting session where the different types of 日本酒 we're explained to us as we tasted, and eventually each was also paired with a variety of Japanese おつまみ, or drinking snacks. All in all, a phenomenal experience. きょうこさん、教えてくれてありがとうございました！

  What a great afternoon, the tour of the brewery with information about how sake is made through to a wonderful, tasting session. The tasting was incredibly well done, crossing referencing across types and then also comparing with food. This was incredibly professional and well done. Do I understand sake, no, but I certainly know a lot more now than I did before and am prepared to order on my own. The two guides we had were excellent.

  I’m so glad that I joined this tour, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is visiting Kyoto with time to spare. Kyoko was an incredible guide, and she made the experience such a joy. We began with a tour of the Gekkeikan Okura Sake museum where we learned about the brewery’s history, sakes role in Japanese culture, and the general process of sake production from rice grain selection all the way to bottling. We then sampled a dozen types of sake (Nihonshu) with and without food pairings to identify personal preferences. I can now identify a few important kanji on sake bottles for better selection, and I also have an improved understanding of sake in general. I look forward to showing off to my friends back home with a sake charcuterie night! Thanks, Kyoko!
