Deepen your knowledge of sake and witness traditional brewing processes.
Sake, one of Japan's most famous products around the world, is often enjoyed with a variety of cuisines. However, its origins are purely Japanese. Although sake has seen an increase in popularity around the world, 98% of its consumption remains bounded in Japan. In effect, one may only be able to enjoy genuine sake in Japan.
