"Even for a very well-traveled sojourner, Sake Brewery Tours organized trips that helped me discover regional Japanese culture, cuisine, and, of course, sake in ways that I would never be able to arrange for myself. The small group size keeps the mood intimate and allows the organizers to take great care of guests. I look forward to each year's exciting destinations.”
Hung from Dallas, Akita Tour 2011 & San-in Tour 2012
