Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a brewery tour and a tasting?

A brewery tour takes you to a working brewery to see how sake is made, usually with a tasting at the end. A tasting or class happens at a bar or classroom in the city and covers more styles in less time.

Can one experience appear under several types?

Yes. A private brewery tour with lunch, for example, is listed under brewery tours, private tours and food pairing.
