The Ancient History of Sake Tours

Abu is excellent!
"Abu is such a responsible and careful guide, good at communication. He informed us of the important points to note in the itinerary, and he could quickly make adjustments based on the on-site situation. The entire food tour was rich and exciting, enjoy a lot of Japanese food and sake. We was very satisfied about our food tour today!"

Book with Sena!
"My husband and I did the sushi and sake tour with Sena. We are so glad we chose her. She was a fantastic tour guide - and gave us a great experience with some food and sake tasting. From the instant we met her, we felt comfortable with her, and her energy and passion for Tokyo (and the food) was contagious. It was also the perfect length tour for us. She does more extensive food and other tours - and I wouldn't hesitate to book with Sena again. She was wonderful!"
