The tour was very interesting and the guide was very friendly. He answered all the questions. The highlight was the tasting of 7 different sake bottles.
Rushed and unengaged

Our tour guide was informative and polite, but seemed unenthusiastic about being at work and unengaged with the group on the tour. He rushed through his explanations and the sake tasting so quickly that even the 20 something’s in the group were not keeping up.

It was a good event, although the group was very small (3 people + guide) and it felt a bit awkward. But the history of brewery and tasting sake was very nice ^^
Short and uninspired

The tour was super short and not very informative. It took about 15 minutes once we got into the brewery (not including the tasting). The guides English and was barely acceptable. One of the group was FaceTiming the entire thing and was loud and obnoxious and the guide said nothing. Really bad atmosphere. Tasting was just Ok with very little information about what we’re tasting except the type of the rice - nothing about the different methods that were used to create each one. We also only got to try 4 types of sake and one type of yuzushu. All in all I wish I hadn’t booked it and just went to do the tasting alone - like I’m doing in the other breweries in the area.
