As a lover of Japanese cuisine and Sake, I offer tours that allow you to experience and savor the unique charms of Japanese culture.
You can choose either Private Sake Brewery Tour or Traditional Cooking Class.
Each tour is exclusively available for one group at a time, ensuring a fully private experience. Whether you are with family, a partner, or friends, you can enjoy the tour at your own pace, sharing this special experience with the people who matter most to you.
Sake Brewery Tour
This tour takes you to “Ichinoya,” a Sake brewery founded in 1865 during the late Edo period, located in Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture. Though a small-scale brewery, it offers the rare chance to witness “traditional Japanese Sake brewing,” which is set to be registered as a UNESCO heritage practice. Every step of the brewing process is done mostly by hand, resulting in extremely limited production. You are so lucky if you encounter this exceptional limited Sake!
Traditional Cooking Class
In my cooking classes, I introduce the ingredients and cooking methods that have been handed down from generation to generation in Nagano Prefecture. By experiencing these ingredients first-hand, you will discover why Japanese cuisine is considered tasty and healthy.
t is also an opportunity to learn about food culture directly related to the Japanese way of life, which is not visible in Japanese restaurants, so you can experience Japanese culture more deeply.
