Embark on a journey to the birthplace of sake, Nara, the ancient capital and spiritual heart of Japan. Discover the origins of this iconic drink, which began not in commercial breweries, but in the halls of Buddhist temples over a thousand years ago.

Visit four tasting locations across Nara, including three working breweries where you'll sample sake directly from the source. Guided by an expert, learn about the unique philosophy of each tōji (master brewer), the ingredients they cherish, and the brewing techniques passed down through generations.

Explore the quiet streets of Nara’s sake districts, enjoy tastings ranging from crisp and dry to rich and mellow, and gain a deeper appreciation for how sake connects to Japanese climate, cuisine, and spirituality.

Whether you're a seasoned sake connoisseur or a curious beginner, this tour offers an authentic, immersive experience in the very land where sake was born.
