Highlights
Three Highlights of the Experience
1. Deep Dive into Japanese Culture:
This is a rare opportunity to taste both of Japan's major spirits—Sake (Nihonshu) and Shochu—in one session.
Experience the authentic, local atmosphere of a historic, neighborhood liquor store, far from the usual tourist traps.
2. Expert Guidance from the Owner:
More than just drinking, you will receive an educational lecture from the store owner or a specialized staff member.
Learn about the different brewing methods, flavor profiles, and the best ways locals in Kumamoto enjoy these beverages.
The small group size ensures a personal and interactive experience with opportunities for Q&A.
3. Discover Rare Local Brews:
Get a chance to encounter locally produced sake and shochu unique to Kumamoto—some of which may not be widely available outside the region.
You can purchase your favorite drinks on the spot to take home as a memorable souvenir.
