Great Sake Tasting Tour

5.00We really enjoyed our Kobe Sake tour with our tour guide - Romi. We got to sample many different sakes and learned about the history of sake and the sake making process. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys Sake or beverage tastings. It was also a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of the big cities during our Japan trip. Very easy to get to from Osaka.
Interesting with a lot of fun

5.00Wow - what a great experience. The guide Hiroman was amazingly nice and competent. I learned a lot about Sake history, brewing process as well as categorization and at the same time we had really a lot of fun. Thank you for the wonderful afternoon.
Informative! Lots of walking between stops.

4.00This was a very informative tour about the process of making saki. We got to see some nice breweries and even had a stop at a tofu making shop. Overall we enjoyed the tour. Be prepared to do a lot of walking between stops. Some of the information gets a little repetitive. I would also like to point out that if you click the Google Maps link in TripAdvisor for the meeting location it puts you about six blocks from the meeting location which is just the train station gate. Not good. Enjoyed the tour guide Hiroman.
Must book tour!

5.00Hiroman was a great tour guide! He taught us so much about sake and was very informative and fun. It was a very hot day and he made sure we were comfortable walking to each brewery and took us to areas for breaks. He even had a bottle of sake for us to drink in between breweries and snacks! He was so personable and attentive. I would definitely recommend this tour!
No sake No life

5.00We were only a small group but the guides gave it there all. i even got to wish for an extra stop on the tour. If you like sake it is a must. If you want to know about a very unique Japanese product also a must, and if you only want to have a fun afternoon, that is also fine.
A great day of sake

5.00This was a great and fun experience. Hiro, our guide was very knowledgeable & did a great job explaining about the different kinds of sake and the history of the region. We visited three breweries and also stopped at a small tofu shop run by two sisters. The breweries all had plenty of sake sampling and extensive gift shops. Be prepared to walk a bit ( a few kilometers) but we made several stops to rest on a hot day. You can certainly do the breweries on your own, but you'd miss out on the information we got from Hiro and her colleague, Hama. We rendezvoused at train station in the brewery district and ended up at another station. Very easy to get to and from.
We love Sake

5.00Fantastic tour for those who love sake or want to know what they love about sake! My wife and I actually did this tour twice, once in January 2025 and once in May 2026. Both times our guide was Hiro and she’s amazing as well! We will continue to recommend this tour to anyone and everyone that comes to Japan
Sake Tasting with Hiroman and Mami
Joe S,May 6, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00This was such a fun sake tasting tour! Hiroman and Mami were amazing tour guides with so much knowledge. Hiroman told us all about the sake making process and the current culture. Mami was in training but she also provided a lot of information and answered our questions about Japan. The sake tasting locations were all amazing and informative. Hiroman even bought a bottle of sake to bring with us on the tour, and we would stop in between tastings to drink sake on a bench nearby. After lots of sake, Hiroman and Mami walked us to the train station and made sure that we knew where we were going next.
A great experience in Kobe!
