Top Sendai Sake Tasting

Discover the spirit of Sendai on an immersive afternoon journey blending craft, culture, and tradition. Begin at Jogi Nyorai Saiho‑ji Temple, a serene mountainside sanctuary known for blessings of harmony and good fortune. Enjoy free time to explore and try local favorites such as sankaku‑age or miso‑grilled rice balls. Continue to Kumanodo, where artisans guide you in lacquering your own chopsticks using techniques rooted in Sendai’s historic tansu craftsmanship—your finished piece will be delivered within Japan. Conclude with a rare insider visit to Nakayu Sake Brewery, operating since 1906, to learn the art of sake making and taste distinctive brews not usually accessible to the public. With private transport and an English‑speaking guide throughout, this tour offers a deeper connection to Miyagi’s traditions and the people who preserve them.
