This shop looks new from the outside, but it offers a chance to experience authentic 'Nara sake' gathered from across the area. Nara is often considered the birthplace of modern sake. Monks developed an early large-scale brewing method that later spread among temples and became a source of income. Taste the Nara sake difference with our expert guide.

Κριτικές ταξιδιωτών
We had such a good time on our tour with Shinobu! He shared so much knowledge with us, stopped at places along the walking routes to tell us about the history in Nara and things we would never had found ourselves. It wasn’t just sake, we loved the walk through the small streets, breweries we would never have found and streets we would never have walked. He was great chat, you can tell he’s passionate and we had such a great time. A group of 6 was perfect, there was 6 of our family so was our own little private tour! Really recommend, only negative is Japan is too hot right now & being Scottish, we are not built for that! A few stops and a water bottle refill kept us going in the heat though. Loved Shinobu, sad to say goodbye to our japanese sake grandpa!
Fantastic afternoon with Shenobu trying sake and learning about brewing as well as local culture. Shenobu was great fun, enthusiastic and full of interesting facts. Thoroughly recommend this tour with him.
This tour is a must-do!! It is more than worth the day trip from Kyoto. We spent the day with Shinobu and could not have had a better time. He was kind, engaging, knowledgeable, and just fun to be around! One of us was badly hurt 3 days prior and Shinobu was so accommodating. We both felt this was the highlight of our time in “Kyoto.” Perfect for history lovers and drinking enthusiasts alike!
The Nara Sake Tasting Tour by Kampai Sake Tours was fantastic! Our guide, Shinobu, was wonderful—knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. We started at a sake bar where we tried two different sakes paired with appetizers. After that, we visited a brewery and sampled five more varieties, which we enjoyed so much that we even bought a bottle to take home. One of the highlights was visiting a beautifully preserved traditional Japanese home—it was incredible to step inside and see such an important landmark up close. The final stop was another sake bar near the brewery, a perfect way to end the tour. Along the way, Shinobu also shared insights about Nara’s sights and history, which made the experience even richer. Overall, it was an excellent tour—I’d happily do it again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Nara.
Oh wow. We have been on tours via Viator all over the world - Europe, America, you name it. But nothing has come close to our experience with Shinobu today. We visited spots that are not touristy, local, and had a chance to really experience what the locals see in terms of sake. We tried a huge range of sakes that completely changed our views for sake. And talk about being educational..I learned so many fun facts about sake that it makes me want to drink more sake and appreciate it so much more. I'm hoping to come back to Japan next year and hop on another tour with Shinobu. He made this the beat experience ever and definitely the highlight of our Japan trip. Thank you!
It was wonderful. Our guide was attentive and explained things well. He seemed to be enjoying it as much as we were. His English was great.
We tried various sake on the tour and enjoyed a lot. Not only Todaiji, Kasuga taisha shrine, but the sake tour is here, in Nara.
I took part in a sake tour of Nara.The first place we visited was a standing bar where we were able to try some popular local sake. The atmosphere in the store was very nice and the staff were very friendly. At Harushika Brewery,I compared the taste of five different types of sake.It was a very delicious sake with depth of flavor. I was able to learn about the history of sake and breweries, and gain a deeper understanding of the appeal of sake.The smoked Narazuke snack was also very delicious.Here you can buy sake and souvenirs. The tour guide gave us a detailed explanation of Nara's history and sake.I had a friendly chat with the guide.The streets of Nara had a historic feel to them. I also had the chance to stop by many different stores and enjoy eating and shopping around the streets of Nara. Thank you for a very enjoyable tour!
