Review of Kyoto’s private food and sake tour with sommelier Kenji, including bars, local dishes, price, timing, and who should book.
“The first half of the evening was a lesson on history and production of Sake/Nihon Shu. This included several tasting at a Sake bar. The second half of the evening was spent eating local cuisine and socializing. Kenji is a wonderful guide and I highly recommend this tour for those looking for something more personalized.”

“Great sake tasting experience! Kenji was extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much from him while sampling some delicious varieties. Kenji also graciously helped us to understand some Japanese language basics and indulged us as we asked him tons of questions about sake, Japanese culture, and local cuisine. Highly recommend booking with Kenji!”
