“What a personal sushi/ramen making class. There were only two others with my husband and I. The chef was charming and made everyone feel at ease. We made and ate our own sushi and the pork belly in the ramen was delicious. You will not go away hungry!”

“This was a fun and upbeat experience thanks to Hawaii Joe! I knew nothing about sake prior to this tasting and now feel confident to choose sake that I like. The take-home references are very helpful as well!”

“We really enjoyed this experience with our guide Tadashi. The food and sake was of excellent quality and we learned a lot about the grading system of the meat, how sake is made and got to have a go at preparing and cooking the food - which was absolutely delicious. One of the best meals we’ve enjoyed during our time in Japan.”

“Very nice people, good at English, very friendly. Nice place, the chairs could be better. Good sake. Nice to watch the food being made”

“It was awesome the hosts are super kind❤️ and it was so good!!!!! My favourite activity in japan so far:)”

“We had the best time!! So fun and informative :) We would love to come back and do some of the family friendly sake brewery tours next time :)”

“Umi San and Kou San were so welcoming from the moment we arrived. We had a fantastic time learning how to make ramen and sushi, and really enjoyed exchanging cultures and conversations. The small class environment and their hospitality ensured we had a fabulous experience. I would highly recommend!”

“Ken Take took us around to a few places. He did a great job explaining the historical significance of the sake and how it was made as well has how beef became part of Japanese cuisine. The food and drinks were all very good.”

“This was probably one of the highlights of our trip to Japan! It was an amazing tasting led by a very knowledgeable sommelier. We were the only three at the tasting so it felt like a VIP experience! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about Sake while also enjoying tasting it!”

“What a brilliant experience! The instructor was so fun, welcoming and knowledgeable. Completely exceeded my expectations. It was an amazing, relaxing and special activity to do. Thank you for going above and beyond for me!”

“The sushi was excellent. We will go back for sushi. We have expected more explanation about the origin and make of the sake. There were 4 sakes we were given to try. Very little information was provided. We asked a few questions but were disappointed by the lack of knowledge. We felt rushed. The 10 pieces of sushi were presented within 30 minutes. Will we were still being served sake, we were requested to move from the counter to a table near the door to accommodate customers who were coming in. Verdict - the experience was below expectation.”

“We had the guide to ourselves and he was funny and knowledgeable. The food cooked to pair with it was also really nice. Would recommend the experience for anyone wanting to try different sake and learn a bit about them. 10/10 would do again”

“So much packed into one day but we had the best time!”

“excellente visite ! j'ai terminé mon voyage avec la dégustation de saké, des explications claires un anglais excellent un beau moment partagé”

“Wonderful teacher and food. Very informative and welcoming. Would recommend to anyone wanting to taste and experience tsukudani.”
