We are passionate about Japanese Sake, Food and Culture
We don't just offer a 'tour' we offer an experience you will never forget.
When you travel with us you are opening yourself up to a whole new Japan. You are taking a tour with a team that specialises in looking after people that “don’t like tours” – in fact our guests often tell us this is the first time they have travelled on a so called “tour” and they love it. We keep our groups small – you won’t be looking at statues and monuments with us, but rather experiencing first hand Japanese culture at it’s best. Travel Japan with Sake Tours and you will be embarking on some of the best guided tours Japan has to offer.

What our Previous Guests are Saying
“I spent quite some time living in Japan and thought I knew something about sake. But during the tour I quickly realized that I’d only taken a tiny sip from the cup of sake knowledge. So much learning, so many sakes, and some fantastic new friends in just the course of a few days. I was a wonderful experience and wonderfully photogenic trip for a photographer to be on. It’s surely made me a sake lover for life.”
"A very special and everlasting memory for me and my wife. It is very well organised by our beautiful Etsuko and Shima, not to forget our fantastic Jason. It was such an eye opener for us to embark on such a tour and no regret about the money spent, quite expensive you know but it's worth it."

Niigata Tour 2017
-Singapore
I was on the Niigata sake breweries tour in March 2017. It was a most enjoyable tour. The tour was very well organised. We visited four sake breweries and were given extensive tours of the breweries, on two occasions by the owner. I learnt a lot about making sake from the tour. In addition, there were some other unique experiences, like the picnic in the snow and the Japanese drum exercises and visiting and having lunch with a Japanese farmer. The tour leaders were very fun and friendly. I highly recommend the sake brewery tours.

Niigata 2017 - from Singapore
"Outstanding. One of the most exciting trips of my life. The chance to understand clearly and feel all the senses on making sake is the goal of this tour. At the end of all you will make friends forever. I would definitely recommend and do the Sake Brewery Tour again."
“Japan changed my life and the way I see it. And going on the Sake Brewery Tour was a big part of it. Can’t wait to go back!"
“Even for a very well-traveled sojourner, Sake Tours organized trips that helped me discover regional Japanese culture, cuisine, and of course, sake in ways that I would never be able to arrange for myself. The small group size keeps the mood intimate and allows the organizers to take great care of guests. I look forward to each year’s exciting destinations.”
