Overview

Your guide is an experienced brewery worker who can explain what gives each sake its unique flavor, with a focus on the production processes and how each contributes to the final product.. By the end of the tour, you should have a good idea of what kind of sake you like, and how to find it.

You will enjoy walking through scenic old-town Takayama as you make the rounds of six sake breweries, sampling a variety of different styles. Remember to take it slow. That's a lot of sake!
