Worth it!

Learned a lot about Sake. Knew barely anything before, now I know more about it than other drinks made where I’m from.

Winery half-day tour

A wonderful experience, it's rare to have the opportunity to taste various types of sake at once. The guide even took us to local shops to buy the sake we liked. Highly recommended.
