Our sake tasting host Kahoko was so friendly and right away my group knew this was going to be great experience because of how passionate she is about Sake. First time visiting Kyoto with my 5 friends and we booked this Sake tasting last minute. When we met Kahoko she was able to have us seated with her curated personal list of sakes for us to try. We took notes, laughed, learned about Kyoto, and the atmosphere of the bar was very inviting. The tasting experience was soooo fun and I would recommend Kahoko to anyone that wants to learn about sake for the first time.

It was my first time participating in a sake drinking contest. There were also 5 different kinds of sake tastings, so you could feel the different tastes. Then there was the pairing with a snack, and having this one changed the taste of sake and was interesting. Isn't that the perfect way to remember your trip? The staff was also able to speak English, so I thought it would be fun for international customers! If you are traveling in Kyoto, please drop by!
