About
This is not just a sake tasting. In just 90 minutes, this experience will teach you how to understand and choose sake with confidence in Japan. Led by a certified Sake Sommelier, you will learn how to identify your personal sake preferences — even when labels and restaurant menus are written only in Japanese. You will enjoy a guided tasting of different sake styles paired with food, with personalized attention in a small-group setting. By the end of the session, you’ll know which type of sake you truly like and how to order it anywhere in Japan.
