They can’t wait to meet you!
We had a wonderful evening with our guide Sakurai-san. He explained a lot to us about sake. We had great food and very tasty sake. The time went by far too quickly. A really nice experience if you are interested in sake. I would definitely book the tour again.
No regrets booking the tour. I think we spend slightly longer time as it should be. We had a great time understanding sake, the history and culture. Elly put in great effort to explain some details. I love the local Izakaya, would love to go back there next time in Nagoya. The second place (modern), free flow sake was of course essential for us. 🙂 Thank you for giving good memories of Nagoya. Highly recommended!
Liaising with the Nagoya is Not Boring team was excellent from the start! They were very responsive and pro-active ! Elly was a fantastic guide and accommodated us with our non alcoholic drinks for some members despite it being a sake tour!
We learnt quite a bit from this tour – how to pour the sake, what to say and how to drink it correctly. Elly was very informative on sake and her being to explain and read Japanese made it so much easier for us! Going to the traditional restaurants was an experience and probably something we wouldn’t have done easily by ourselves! Thank you Elly & team!
My wife and I are really glad we picked this tour. Getting to visit an old izakaya that the locals go to was a different and unique experience from the usual tourist fare. Was really fun interacting with the locals and making some new friends.
We also really appreciated Elizabeth’s local knowledge of the city, culture and of course sake. We left knowing and appreciating Japanese sake much more.
Thanks, Elisabeth. We enjoyed talking with you about your experiences in Japan!
