A very nice and insightful tour. The location is a bit remote, but I think it's worth it :) We had a great time with Mayo.

Excellent introduction to all things sake. Found the food pairing particularly fascinating. I came to the session not really liking sake and left with a newfound appreciation. Mayo was clear and presented alot of info in a logical and easy to follow manner. I would highly recommend this to my friends.

Great experience. We were taught all the basics of sake and it really helped our understanding and we even received a little card which we used throughout our trip to pick our sake. I would really recommend this experience!
