Beginning in the Fushimi district of Kyoto, your guide will take you through the streets of this charming, sake brewing district where you will see various traditional and modern sake breweries and get a sense of the area’s 400-year-old sake brewing tradition. During the tour, you will eat a seasonal lunch in a local restaurant before heading out to the Gekkeikan Okura Sake museum where a brief history of Japanese sake can be understood. Since they have been making sake since 1637, with a nearly 4 centuries-old process, you will really see how things have been done for generations. You will also get a chance to see the Sake brewery and the traditional brewing process which involves a combination of water, malt, yeast and steamed rice. You will visit both a small and large sake brewery to get a sense of the differences of scale and of course try their sake and other products.

Thank you Sae for a wonderful introduction to the history of sake brewing in Kyoto. You were extremely informative and we thoroughly enjoyed every sip of Sake which warmed the soul! I will forever look out for the green cedar balls and head straight to that bar or restaurant.

My husband and I were led by our amazing guide, Hiroe and her assistant, Ayaka, through the neighborhood of Fushimi via back alleys and along waterways. We've been on tours about tequila, beer, wine, etc, but it was truly amazing to learn about the history and see the process that goes into making sake. There was a bit of walking involved, but nothing strenuous. We also tried several of the local spring waters around, which of course is a huge part of the flavor and creation of sake brewing. Our lunch was delicious and came with a sake flight that paired nicely with all the different aspects of our deluxe bento box. We also visited a food stall restaurant where we were able to try 18 (!!!!!) select sakes from the 20 breweries in the area along with some traditional (and delicious!) snacks and finished up at our favorite stop -- a local brewery where we were able to purchase sake that we watched them pour into a bottle straight from the tap! The tour was a great combination of tiny local places, trendy places, more manufactured places, and a palatable version of the history and sake making process. 10/10 would recommend!!

We had a really relaxed, informative and enjoyable tour with our guide, Mana. She shared with us the importance of the water used, the quality of the rice, the manufacturing process and the different tastes of the finished product. It was really interesting to see how saki was made at the museum. Our lunch was excellent and we had the opportunity to taste a range of different sakis - even saki ice cream - delicious! Mana was really helpful answering our questions and gave us some brilliant ideas for seeing other interesting parts of Kyoto.
