“Chika was an amazing guide! We started off with an hour long tour of the sake museum and she explained the entire process. The sake tasting after was phenomenal and she provided great recommendations for different food pairings. I’m glad I did not plan anything afterwards because I needed time to unwind and enjoy the experience to its fullest. I ended up buying two bottles and now I feel confident on my sake skills!”
