5.00We absolutely loved doing our sake and snack tasting with Mieko! She told us a lot about the process of selecting and preparing the rice as well as what techniques make which kinds of sake. The snacks were also really yummy. Highly recommended!

5.00Meiko was fantastic. She gave my husband, brother and I all a wonderful experience by learning about how sake is made, the different three different types in the flavor profiles of each. The added bonus was that we could try all the other sake’s that they had in stock so we got to try some wonderful ones - rare ones, craft ones and even some rice liqueurs that were phenomenal. It was a wonderful time by all of us, and we would highly recommend Meiko to anyone wanting to learn about sake!
A must do experience while in Tokyo!
