I work in the spirits & tourism industry and this was a truly special experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable, professional and personable and an excellent host. The information shared on the tasting was, at first glance, quite surface level, but we asked quite a lot of questions and so were given a good deal of extra information which went further than what was presented. The samples served were all delicious, and very different from each other, and very generous in amount as well. We learnt a lot and would definitely recommend this to other guests. Thank you for having us!

We had such an amazing experience with our private sake tasting, we highly recommend! Before booking this class, I conducted a lot of research of different sake tasting classes. I loved that this class was only a few hours and tailored to our taste buds. The location was very convenient and intimate. We learned a lot about the history of sake and how it's brewed. We really loved tasting so many different types of sake from all over Japan and had little snack throughout. They poured us sake that we was to our taste preference, which was really ideal. We can't recommend this unique and special sake tasting enough.

We had so much fun with Eriko learning about and tasting sake! We knew a little about sake going into the experience, but learned so much more from Eriko and she graciously answered all of our questions. Every thing we tasted was delicious in its own way and we were able to purchase several bottles of our favorites to take home. Would absolutely recommend Eriko’s tasting to anybody visiting Tokyo (especially if you’re staying in Shibuya). Definitely a highlight of our trip and the beginning of our sake era- kanpai!

We had a wonderful sake tasting with Suemi and Koki! While I currently live in Tokyo and have had my fair share of sake to date, I was looking for a fun and unique activity for visiting family members. This absolutely surpassed my expectations! We tried 22 different sakes with the opportunity to re-try our favorites. In addition to trying sake, Suemi provided a good base level knowledge about sake production and different sake varieties. Thank you for the sake tasting and the incredible hospitality, it was an unforgettable experience!
