    Amazing tasting experience.

    Philip_B, Apr 2026
    Amazing value for money. Eight different types of sake served at a variety of temperatures accompanied by a choice of canapés each selected to compliment the various wines as appropriate. Our guide, Harumi, was a perfect host and the owner/manager of the bar could help but come over to expand further on each of our drinks. A truly memorable expedience and if you’re ever in Tokyo, wondering what all the fuss is about Japanese wine, book yourself onto this excursion. It’s fab!

    Learned a lot about Sake

    Good experience. Learned a lot about Sake. The guide was knowledgeable. Highly recomended if you want to learn about Sake

    Disappointing

    Naomi_C, Apr 2025
    We came to hope to learn more about sake. Indeed, we had 8 sakes and our host (not a Japanese) was nice, but we didn’t learn as much as we were expecting and wishing for. Very little sake-related information came out of each degustation. In addition, we didn’t enjoy the place and the snacks at all.

    must do

    Aneesah_S, Jan 2025
    We had so much fun getting to trying different Sakes paired with some finger foods. We even did karaoke. So much fun! Great for couples, friends or groups.

    Overall really enjoyable activity

    Elaine_M, Dec 2024
    Easy to book and good pre event information sent to me . Our event guides Saki and her accompanying trainee were great . Very friendly and knowledgable . Event held in a small bar where karaoke is also available . Tasted a range of Sake with small snacks that would be traditionally eaten with each one . A nice way to spend an hour on the evening before we left Japan . Only one suggestion to improve and that would be to offer a vegetarian option for the snacks ( I did mention there was a vegetarian in the party on the online booking form but I think maybe not picked up due to booking being made on the day) however, this didn't really detract from the experience as not all of the snacks were meat or fish . Overall really enjoyable activity . Thank you

    Response from Host, Dec 2024

    We are very happy to know you enjoyed the Sake tasting ,and very sorry didn`t reserve the vegetarian option. We hope you will come our restaurant again. Thank you so much.
