Our experience was fantastic! Bruce and Tomoko were exceptional. This is a must do when in Fukuoka. We wanted to experience the Yatai stalls but felt a little intimidated doing them by ourselves so we booked the tour and we’re so glad we did! We highly recommend to book this to get the real local experience. We made two new friends who helped us enjoy delicious food and were delightful company! 10 out 10. It was an unforgettable evening and an extra-special birthday for my wife.

This was a very informative and excellent experience. The folks at the Japan Sake and Shochu Information Center are very knowledgeable and represent the community of Sake and Shochu makers professionally and with respect for the integrity of the art. We learned so much in one hour and we walked away with meaningful and valuable gifts that we were not expecting at all. The presentation packed enough information that gave us an appreciation for the complexity of the characteristics of sake and left us inspired to learn more. Definitely choose to learn from these industry experts. You won’t see sake the same after this.
