Explore Nara’s historic streets while tasting its sake traditions. On a guided walk through Naramachi with a knowledgeable KST sake expert, you’ll visit two sake breweries and a local liquor shop. Along the way, you’ll sample carefully selected tastings and hear clear, engaging explanations about the drinks you try. The guide will link local life and landmarks to brewing customs, making the culture behind each sip easy to follow.

Nara is one of Japan’s most historic places and played an important role in the development of modern sake techniques by temple monks centuries ago. As you move through the neighbourhood, those connections between history, daily life and brewing will become obvious, giving you fresh insight into what you drink. By the end of the tour, you should see both Nara and sake from a new perspective and gain a deeper appreciation of Japanese culture. Guests joining through mid-October will also receive a complimentary KST original fan featuring useful sake facts.
