Sharing Japanese Sake culture with other travelers is such a powerful experience that gives me the chance to bring them closer to the exciting world of Japanese Alcohol veberages and explain them everything I know about Sake and Japanese culture as well.
I’m looking forward to seeing you on my tour!
Thanks, Elisabeth. We enjoyed talking with you about your experiences in Japan!
I had a great time during the Sake tour. Elly is passionate about Sake elaboration and drinking culture. The tour is well organized around a hotspot in the city and I enjoyed a lot visiting new places I did not think existed, even after living in the city for more than a year. I really enjoyed the last izakaya with the all you can drink Sake option (many interesting options to try). Elly also gave me nice recommendations on where to go to explore the city (and the country) and also interesting facts on Japanese culture.
