One of the best tours we've ever taken - Marin was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and she made the experience fun. We felt like she had a lot of passion for the history and tradition of sake production and she was careful not to bias us in our evaluation of lots of different sake types and varieties! Would recommend her highly as a guide.
Enjoyable sake tour

My guide was helpful, informative, and enthusiastic. The tour price included samples at a tasting room as well as tickets and samples at the sake museum. He showed us around the Kobe brewing area. This is a great tour to book if you plan on seeing KOBE/OSAKA/KYOTO before or after the tour. Definitely worth it, a highlight of our trip.
