Advanced Sake Tasting covers sake brewed with a very different concept than the ones introduced in the basic sake tours.
Sake you will taste in this experience is unique and exceptional: ones brewed using ancient methods that are different from modern methods, a new type of sake that utilizes the characteristics of microorganisms, and sake that is brewed using local wood, giving it a taste unique to the region. By tasting these types of sake, you will be fascinated by the profundity of sake and the possibilities of how different tastes can be created by the sake making process.
Please note that in the Advanced Sake Tasting Experience, we also cover the basics of sake production and the sake categories. Even if you have no prior sake experience, you can enjoy the Advanced course.

Very interesting experience with tasting more "unusual" sake - I learned a lot and now have a greater appreciation for the complexity of the sake world.

This was a very informative and enjoyable experience! Our sommelier, Kotaro did a fantastic job presenting the information and offering detailed explanations of the different types of Sake and their crafting methods. The entire presentation was in English and was easy to follow.
The diversity of Sake types presented was definitely noteworthy and contributed to a unique overall experience. If you like Sake or are curious, this is definitely an event to check out!

Hotaru was absolutely amazing! He is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable!! Though most of the people in our class had a strong wine knowledge, most of us only had a loose understanding of sake.
Hotaru went in depth without getting too complicated and offered a very diverse selection of sakes. He helped us understand key terms and styles, and how to read a label. He also gave good reconditions for restaurants and sake shops!!
Very happy and would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in knowing more about sake!!
