Overview

Step inside the world of Japanese sake in Kyoto.

Visit a historic local brewery and discover why sake is more than just a drink — it is a living tradition shaped by pure water, carefully polished rice, and the art of koji fermentation.

Learn how sake is brewed from rice to bottle, and understand the role of the toji (master brewer) in preserving centuries of craftsmanship. Feel the aroma of steamed rice and fermentation as you explore the brewery.

After the tour, enjoy a guided tasting of four carefully selected sake varieties. From crisp and dry to smooth and aromatic, you’ll learn how to taste sake properly and how it pairs beautifully with food.

This immersive cultural experience offers a deeper understanding of Kyoto’s sake heritage — perfect for travellers who want more than sightseeing.

Activity itinerary

Kamogawa Delta (Kyoto Prefectural Kamogawa Park) (Pass by)

Kamo River Delta (also known as Kamogawa Delta) is a famous spot in Kyoto where the Kamo River and Takano River meet. The two rivers form a beautiful triangular area with stepping stones across the water, a favourite place for locals to relax and for visitors to enjoy scenic views. It’s especially popular in the evening and during cherry blossom season.
