Overview

Private experience for 1–4 people — always your group only. Enjoy a relaxed and authentic experience in the heart of Kyoto. Discover the world of sake with Kenji, a certified international sake sommelier who spent many years working at a sake brewery in Hyogo. During the two-hour tasting, you'll have the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of sake production from a professional insider. Kenji will guide you through how to order, enjoy, and appreciate Japan’s national beverage — while tasting several hand-selected sakes from across the country. Please join Kenji for sake and snacks at a very cool standing bar (no seats) in central Kyoto! Group size: 1 - 4 people

What's included

  • Tastings of eight excellent sakes from across Japan accompanied by traditional Japanese snacks

Meeting point

Go to the intersection of Shijo and Karasuma streets. Look for the imposing Mitsui Building on the northeast corner of the intersection. There's a photograph of this building in the photos above. I'll be standing out front. You'll know me by my LINNELL'S backpack.
