  • Not What I Expected, But In A Good Way

    This wasn’t remotely the experience I expected. I figured it would be a tour of different sake bars where I would essentially be forced to try random Sakes, but instead you sit at a cute little store where you’re given basically a private introduction to sake and then you’re given 10 coins to “purchase” up to ten different sakes. My friend and I found this perfect, as we combined coins to try the more expensive/fancy sakes. This system also allowed us to essentially try double the sakes, since we could order all different ones from each other. I tried all the sweeter/less strong ones, and he had all the stronger ones, so it was a good mix for both of us to be happy. Honestly, we both enjoyed it more than we expected to and it was exactly how we wanted to finish up our Japanese experience.
