A terrific little tour explaining and demonstrating the skill and technique of sake making. The guide, Mu, was very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. If I have any complaint, and it is nothing to do with the tour itself, I was concerned about the exorbitant TripAdvisor booking fee, at around 50% of the direct tour cost. This is not fair to customer or tour provider.
