Overview
Sake is a Japanese alcoholic drink that’s also known as rice wine. It can be tricky as an outsider to know which type of sake to order, so eliminate language barriers, and boost your sake knowledge by having a tasting session with a sake sommelier in Tokyo. Try 6–7 types of sake with detailed explanations of the best way to drink them, and the best foods to go with them.

Brilliant sake discovery!
npd1234, Mar 2026
WHAT AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE! I thought I knew my way around sake before I came to this tour but Aki opened my eyes and palate to much much more about his country’s rice-brewed beverage. No sake tasting or experience I’ve had in the US was this detailed, educational, or delicious. Furthermore. You’ll try several sakes with Aki that you’ll never have access to back home. 100% recommend, and it’s a fine price especially if you reach out and book direct!
Educational and fun sake experience!

Great educational experience learning about how sake is made, different flavor profiles and what to look for when buying. Not to mention delicious high quality sakes! Highly recommend joining Aki for this experience.
Amazing!

Sake tasting experience in Shinjuku
owenwW4193UW, Jan 2026
Really enjoyed this one on one tasting session with Aki. He was punctual, friendly and really knows his Sake. While sampling a range, from dry and smooth to sweet and chilled, Aki shared his detail knowledge on all things Sake. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys this unique Japanese drink or wants to discover it.
