What you can expect

  • Discover another side of Nara through its local sake and the streets of Naramachi. With an English-speaking guide, explore the city's brewing heritage and taste around 9–10 varieties at two local breweries and a speciality sake shop. No previous sake knowledge is needed.

    At Liquor Mountain, compare local Nara sake and start finding the styles you enjoy. Your guide explains the differences in simple terms, connecting the flavours in your glass with the ingredients and traditions behind them.

    Walk through historic Naramachi and pause at a traditional merchant townhouse. Its quiet rooms offer a glimpse of everyday life in old Nara and a relaxed break between tastings.

    Visit Harushika for a guided tasting of contrasting sake styles, accompanied by traditional Narazuke pickles. Continue to Nara Kasugayama Brewery to explore another local producer and discover fruit-based liqueurs alongside the region's sake culture.

    Leave with a clearer idea of your favourite flavours and a new perspective on Nara beyond its famous temples and deer. All scheduled tasting fees are included. This is a walking and tasting experience; access to active production areas is not part of the advertised tour.
