It was a great experience and the guide was full of knowledge. His depth on the subject was very deep. 1) The tea tour, was very interesting and the small of drying/roasting tea was ever present in the air. The dango tasting was very interesting too! 2) The temple –The beauty and gateway to a better place being created was very interesting. And we noted the temple is also the same one on the 10 yen coin too! One could spend all day at this temple. 3) The sake tour was amazing. The shop we went to had an excellent range of sake and the staff were very helpful too.

This was one of our favorite things we did in all of Japan!!! I can not recommend this tour enough. It was so unique, personal, thoughtful, interesting, delicious, and fun. Ayumi was one of the best tour guides I have ever met. She was so generous with her time, experience, and knowledge. We got to make our own ponzu sauce, taste the oldest and original miso shop in Kyoto, and try traditional soy sauce from one of the oldest soy sauce makers in Kyoto. Then we went to a bar where one of the most awarded bartenders in Kyoto made us some of the best cocktails I have EVER had highlighting each of these ingredients. Ayumi made this experience so amazing, she is so kind, funny, and created such a thoughtful tour. It was such a unique experience that was also so fun and educational. Seriously I can not recommend this tour enough!!!!

The guides were very pleasant and answered questions. I felt I knew somewhat more about saki and brewing methods at the end of the tour.

Booked a sake tour on our first day in Japan as a way to become immersed in Japan and Seigo totally delivered. He is a total gentleman, with the knowledge of a scholar and skills and experience of a professional. We were very impressed by his in depth facts and historical context of every street, shop, and brewer. He is a certified sake sommelier and possibly the nicest, kindest person. We spent a great deal of time together talking about topics outside his wheelhouse too with great comfort. I would recommend this tour, and Seigo in particular, for anyone seeking an authentic, memorable experience.

Kyoto Tastings

Did you know the Fushimi area of Kyoto is one of the top 3 sake producers in Japan? This is just one of the fun facts you can learn by joining one of our delicious Kyoto tastings on offer! You can get to know all about locally-brewed Fushimi sake during a Kyoto sake tasting, or perhaps sample some high-quality whisky during a local Japanese whisky tasting. The signature flavors of Kyoto are bottled in the tradition and craftsmanship of its local products, which you can enjoy to the fullest with our Kyoto tasting sessions.

You can really get acquainted with famous products from Kyoto, where, for example, local sake experts join you during our tastings in Kyoto to explain the processes of sake brewing and key ingredients. For those who aren’t big drinkers, this goes for tea tastings too, where you can learn about the production process, from planting to harvest. Get ready to sample away while you learn about Kyoto culture, and check out our Kyoto tasting experiences right here on byFood.
