What is included in the sake tasting experience?

You will try six varieties of sake at Kiku-Masamune and enjoy sake-lees ice cream. Non-drinkers can choose sorbet instead.

What happens if I am late to the meeting point?

The tour starts on time to keep the schedule. If you miss the group due to lateness, refunds or rescheduling are not possible. We suggest arriving at least 10–15 minutes early.

Is counter seating guaranteed at the Kobe beef restaurant?

Counter seats are the preferred option so you can watch the chef grill your beef, but seating depends on restaurant availability. In some cases, you may be seated at a table instead.

Will we always see the barrel-making demonstration?

The demonstration depends on timing and availability. If it is not taking place during your visit, you can still enjoy the museum and sake tasting. English reference materials will be provided since live translation is not available during the demo.

Who can join this tour?

This tour is open to all ages, but guests under 20 years old cannot take part in the sake tasting. For children under 12, please note that they are not allowed inside the barrel-making area due to safety concerns.
