Overview
Unlike standard mass-market tastings or automated factory tours, this private experience grants rare, behind-the-scenes access to Sawada Sake Brewery—a 170-year-old heritage producer near Nagoya in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture, where traditional hand-craftsmanship thrives. What sets this exclusive sake tasting apart is the multi-sensory ceramic pairing. Guided personally by the brewery owner, you will explore six distinct Japanese sakes and craft plum wine (umeshu) using four differently shaped, handcrafted Tokoname-yaki artisan pottery cups to discover how ceramic shapes transform flavor profiles, before selecting your favorite handmade cup to take home as a souvenir. By combining owner-led heritage storytelling, a 6-variety sake tasting paired with local fermented snacks, and an authentic Tokoname ceramic gift, this experience delivers an unforgettable cultural highlight for travelers exploring Greater Nagoya and the Chita Peninsula region.
