Great introduction to Sake

The location (basement of an office building, cross from Tokyo Tower) may seem odd. Once there the hostess is gracious, informative, and provides an excellent overview of sake (history, methods, etc). Great intro to u pique Japanese flavors.

Educational and Delicious

This was a fabulous experience. The presentation was extremely informative. We learned a lot about saki and Japan in general. The food was extremely tasty. It was not simply a snack but actually enough for supper. I would definitely recommend this to everyone!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind recommendation—we’re delighted you enjoyed the experience!

Highly recommended sake tasting!

We really enjoyed our sake tasting with small bites. We learned about the production process of sake. The food was delicious, and it was nice to have the pairings explained to us. We would highly recommend this experience as a nice start to your Japan adventures by learning about your sake preferences. Both hosts were very kind and welcoming, and happily explained the brewing process, described each sake we tried, and answered every question we had. Every sake was unique and enjoyable, but the biggest (and most pleasant!) surprise was the aged sake that we tried both on its own and also over homemade vanilla ice cream. Talk about delicious!

Awesome Sake Tasting class

This class was PHENOMENAL!!! It was just my friend and I and Micki was our Sake-master. She was soooo fantastic. She shared her knowledge and wisdom and matched amazing foods with each sake we tasted. Included in the food was an amazing duck breast, that was probably one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Micki was efficient and lovely, we truly enjoyed her class.

7 Kinds of Sake Tasting with Complementary Foods: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.

How much does 7 Kinds of Sake Tasting with Complementary Foods cost?

+

Prices start at ¥16,500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does 7 Kinds of Sake Tasting with Complementary Foods take?

+

Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.

Is 7 Kinds of Sake Tasting with Complementary Foods worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule 7 Kinds of Sake Tasting with Complementary Foods?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is 7 Kinds of Sake Tasting with Complementary Foods suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 20. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1.3-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 7 Kinds of Sake Tasting with Complementary Foods?

+

Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 7 Kinds of Sake Tasting with Complementary Foods start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Tokyo?

+

Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Tokyo: Asakusa Senso-ji Temple & Old Town Walking Tour, Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Tokyo?

+

Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Tokyo?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What is included in 7 Kinds of Sake Tasting with Complementary Foods?

+

Included: 7 complementary Japanese dishes; 7 different kinds of Japanese sake; and Nationally accredited sake instructor. Not included: Any extra food or beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Where is the meeting point for 7 Kinds of Sake Tasting with Complementary Foods?

+

Please meet your instructor at the main entrance of the Kikai Shinko Kaikan building on the 1st floor. (The building is right opposite side of Tokyo Tower.) In case you cannot find the instructor. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

+

+

Is 7 Kinds of Sake Tasting with Complementary Foods wheelchair or stroller accessible?

+
