First, your bilingual guide will introduce the basics of sake tasting—how to enjoy the aroma, how temperature changes flavor, proper pouring etiquette, and the cultural meaning of a toast. The meal features Japanese dishes designed to pair beautifully with sake. Alongside several types of sake, you can also enjoy beer, highballs, and soft drinks at your own pace. Dishes include chicken nanban, a savory miso-butter dish, sea urchin cream croquette, and vegetables with three kinds of miso. For dessert, savor crispy-outside, creamy-inside vanilla taiyaki. You’ll sample four distinctive sakes, each enhancing different flavors—from fried foods and miso dishes to creamy plates and sweet desserts. Throughout the experience, your guide will share insights into sake’s history, production, and even tips on glassware and label reading. Questions and personal recommendations are always welcome. Whether you join as a group, couple, or solo, it’s a memorable way to savor Japan’s food culture through sake pairings.
