This tour is a must-do!! It is more than worth the day trip from Kyoto. We spent the day with Shinobu and could not have had a better time. He was kind, engaging, knowledgeable, and just fun to be around! One of us was badly hurt 3 days prior and Shinobu was so accommodating. We both felt this was the highlight of our time in “Kyoto.” Perfect for history lovers and drinking enthusiasts alike!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review!
We're truly honored that you felt this tour was the highlight of your time in Kyoto, and we're especially glad Shinobu made the experience enjoyable and comfortable despite the injury.
His kindness and deep knowledge are a big part of what makes the tour special.
We hope to welcome you again on another tour in Kobe, Nara, or Nishinomiya! Kampai🍶!!

Oh wow. We have been on tours via Viator all over the world - Europe, America, you name it. But nothing has come close to our experience with Shinobu today. We visited spots that are not touristy, local, and had a chance to really experience what the locals see in terms of sake. We tried a huge range of sakes that completely changed our views for sake. And talk about being educational..I learned so many fun facts about sake that it makes me want to drink more sake and appreciate it so much more. I'm hoping to come back to Japan next year and hop on another tour with Shinobu. He made this the beat experience ever and definitely the highlight of our Japan trip. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We're truly honored to hear that your experience with Shinobu was the highlight of your trip to Japan. His passion for sake and sharing local culture always shines through, and we’re so glad you felt that too. If you visit Japan again, we’d love to welcome you on another Kampai Sake Tour — not just in Nara, but also in Kobe, Nishinomiya, and Kyoto. Each region has its own unique charm and sake culture to explore. We look forward to seeing you again and sharing even more sake stories! Kampai!!🍶

We tried various sake on the tour and enjoyed a lot. Not only Todaiji, Kasuga taisha shrine, but the sake tour is here, in Nara.

I took part in a sake tour of Nara.The first place we visited was a standing bar where we were able to try some popular local sake. The atmosphere in the store was very nice and the staff were very friendly.
At Harushika Brewery,I compared the taste of five different types of sake.It was a very delicious sake with depth of flavor. I was able to learn about the history of sake and breweries, and gain a deeper understanding of the appeal of sake.The smoked Narazuke snack was also very delicious.Here you can buy sake and souvenirs.
The tour guide gave us a detailed explanation of Nara's history and sake.I had a friendly chat with the guide.The streets of Nara had a historic feel to them. I also had the chance to stop by many different stores and enjoy eating and shopping around the streets of Nara.
Thank you for a very enjoyable tour!

I really enjoyed this tour!
Our tour guide provided a lot of great information in Nara and took me to the brewery and local bar that would have been hard to find otherwise.
All the sake I drank was really good!

We had an amazing experience on the sake tasting tour in Nara with the lovely Tam-san.
She was the very kind, knowledgeable, and friendly guide. She took us very local places with plenty of sake and snacks at each one. We enjoyed very much drinking many kinds of sake, and also talking with local people. She also showed us a few sights in-between stops and shared historical stories about each of them. What a fantastic day and I will never forget.
I highly recommend this tour.

It’s wonderful that you enjoyed not only the sake and snacks but also the opportunity to connect with local people and learn about the sights and history of Nara.

This is a fantastic experience for me. I have learned a lot from TAM， and become more interested in Sake.
What was especially wonderful was that our guide had a friendly relationship with the people at the bars and breweries we visited, and they welcomed us warml.
And the local food was delicious!

何種類もの日本酒を解説付きで楽しめました。4軒のお店を回りましたがどこのお店もフレンドリーでお店の方の日本酒に対する思いが伝わってきます。それ以外にも骨董店や古民家、伝統ある和菓子屋さんなどガイドの方が上手に解説とともにリードしてくれました。奈良のいい雰囲気をコンパクトに楽しめた半日になりました。ありがとうございました。
