The tour culminates in a shared lunch where you can savor the delicious dishes you've prepared. To make the experience even more special, you'll be treated to an exclusive sake tasting. Select your favorite from four different premium varieties and discover how well sake pairs with sushi and traditional Japanese cuisine, completing your immersive cultural and culinary adventure.
