Sake Blending Experience : Craft Your Own Signature Sake

We signed up for a sake blending experience and it exceeded my expectations! I learned a lot about the sake making process and different types of sakes.

New to sake? Old friends with sake? Great! You will enjoy it. What a unique experience to learn about the past and future of sake, especially sake that is made in Niigata. Our guide, Kumi, was knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions regarding the brewery and about sake in general. We are so lucky she speaks English well and is very kind to us. All the staff were accommodating and polite. Why do a blending experience? It’s a good way to taste sake components individually and really understand how elements like SMV or acidity affect the way you enjoy sake. I never realized how much I like fruity elements in my sake until this experience. Plus I can make my own unique blend and take it home in my own bottle. What a nice gift to myself that I can enjoy when I go home and think back fondly about Niigata.

Kumi was our host and she took us around, looked after us and was absolutely flawless. Her English and knowledge of the brewery were first class. The blending experience was fantastic, but I highly recommend the brewery tour also. Just to see and smell the process as it was happening was worth a day trip in itself. The explanation and experience of blending your own taste Sake to take home was just amazing! Not to mention the new tap room facility is absolutely stunning. 100% recommend - a must go authentic experience in Yuzawa, Niigata prefecture.

An exclusive experience for everyone. Whether you are a beginner who has never tasted sake but would love to try something new, or a true sake enthusiast, this is the perfect place to begin a memorable journey. Discover the rich and diverse flavors of sake and create an unforgettable experience that will leave you wanting to come back again. 🍶✨ Staff are always ready to guide you and share their knowledge about the sake-making process and the differences between each type of sake.

I had never tried sake before, but this place made me realize that drinking sake can be much more fun than I expected. The flavors are approachable and memorable, and the very first bottle I created myself turned out to be delicious and exactly to my taste. If you’re looking for a new experience to enjoy with your partner, family, or friends, this is definitely a wonderful place to visit. 🍶✨

This was a very unique experience in Niigata. The guide gave a detailed introduction about Japanese sake and communicated very clearly in English. They were also very kind and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. ☺️✨ The highlight was creating our own original blend of sake. It was exciting to experiment with different flavors and make a personalized bottle to take home as a souvenir. 🍶🤍 If you visit Niigata, this is definitely an activity worth trying. It's a great way to learn more about Japanese sake while having fun. Highly recommended!
