What a great time! We very much enjoyed being shown so many sake breweries and our guide Motoko had lots of information on each stop. The two hours flew by, with each drink being unique and tasty. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend to a small group who would like to try sake in a relaxing and interesting setting.

This was an amazing experience. Our guide, Gordon, brought along a companion and the two of them were absolutely phenomenal. We started out at a local sake brewery to learn the history and methods of making Sake, and then moved on to sampling several different kinds of Sake made from the 7 breweries in Saijo. There happened to be a festival the day of our tour, so we were able to participate in several different tastings than would normally be had. Gordon and his companion were so knowledgeable. My father-in-law and I had the best experience ever.
I have done a lot of Viator trips, and I rank this as one if my top 5 easily. I would absolutely do this one again just to hang with Gordon and his companion.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great experience, our guide and sake sommelier Masa was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about Sake and the production process. The highlight was of course getting to taste plenty of delicious sake from all 7 breweries. 🍶

It is a great experience. Gordan is knowledgeable and engaging . He is able to articulate his own personal experience to complement what is presented in the museums and tasting rooms. It brought forth a greater in depth thoughts of the various Sake producing procedural steps

Ami was so knowledgeable, funny, fun, and patient with all our questions. It was fun to be led around by her to 6 different brew houses with lots of samples and advice on purchasing.

Ram was a wonderful guide & very knowledgeable for this saki tour. he gave us history and entered all of our questions, the other father and son in the group from Australia were fun and filled out the tour.. Ram also was very attentive and helpful to me being a senior man 87 years old. I would highly recommend ROM as a guide and this is an excellent tour.

We had a wonderful time. Our guide Emoke, was very helpful and amiable. We learned a lot about sake and enjoyed seeing how the process works. My only recommendation would be to start the tour at the brewery where we ended as it had a small museum with lots of great visuals and explanations to tell you about the process. Seeing calling that might have been useful at the beginning. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Guide was very knowledgeable, very friendly. Everything is quite close together, terrain is easy. Overall a wonderful afternoon.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, letting us go at our own pace. He was very flexible in terms of letting us add additional tastings as we wanted (for the cost of the tastings, of course) and was great at explaining the brewing process and the tasting notes. Would highly recommend this tour for a small group. We were three people and had a wonderful time

Masa was waiting for us at the station when we arrived and we were lucky to have him to ourselves for the tour. We visited all of the breweries that were open that day and even went back to a couple to grab some gifts we wanted to take home. He took great pictures of us, we never felt rushed, and he took into account our tastes and gave us samples of what we wanted to try in addition to what he recommended. It was a lovely afternoon strolling around town and learning about sale history in Hiroshima and what makes it different from other sake areas in Japan.
