About this tour
Work alongside a sake master in a private brewery lab to blend five distinct sake styles into your own 500ml bottle. Over two hours in Japan, you'll learn the post-fermentation techniques that shape flavour, taste through each component, and finish by hand-painting a kanji character onto your custom label—a tangible record of your creation to take home.

What to expect
You'll enter the working blending space of an actual brewery—not a tourist setup. Your guide walks you through how fermentation's final stages shape each base sake's profile, then hands you the five component bottles. Using the master's suggested ratios as a starting point, you adjust proportions to taste, sampling as you go. Once satisfied, you'll label your bottle with brush and ink, choosing a kanji that captures what you've created. Expect hands-on work, genuine technical talk, and a real finished product you'll carry away.
