Our sake journey continued at Ginjo Shubo Aburacho, a liquor store with a small bar where you can sample sake. The staff was knowledgeable and guided us through a tasting of three different sake varieties. The sake labels can be a bit confusing, with two percentages listed—the higher number (e.g., 60%, 40%) refers to how much of the rice grain is polished away, while the lower percentage indicates the alcohol content (15%-18%). I went for the “matured & rich” (umami) palette, while Jasper chose the “light & smooth” and “rich (umami)” options. Everything was served with a delicious side of smoked, root-like vegetables. A must-visit for sake enthusiasts! I just started my polarstep account, for more tips www.polarsteps.com/sarahvanours Also more travel on insta: corneliawillemien

Definitely worth the train ride. For a first time sake drinker it is hard to just pick some sake and try it. The owner in Aburacho explains about the different sake and asks your tastes too. You can sample three small cups or one glass. Small snack is included to clear the palate between different sake. Tasting price varies depending on the sake (we paid about 250yen/small cup). Highly recommend this place whether you're a first time sake drinker or a sake enthusiast.

My first time trying sake in Japan and I was a little hesitant because I didn't like sake when I tried it the first time. The owner did a splendid job explaining the various types of sake, their origins and how they are produced. I not only got to try some quality sake, but he also gave me a lot of information about the local food as well. Great experience!

Wonderful experience! The shopkeepers were knowledgeable and friendly. You tell them anything you know about the kinds of sake or flavors you like and they create a flight for you from their wide selection of local sake! They gave us exactly what we were interested in, everything was delicious. We bought three bottles and some sake cups to take with us!

Great place to stop by and sample sake. Knowledgeable owner who speaks english. You can choose three cups or a glass and select sake preferences in a relaxed atmosphere. Had two rounds of tasting and found it very enjoyable.

Stopped in 3 sake tasting in the area. Best one and affordable. You can ask for your own budget. We paid 1000yens for ours (3 glasses). They explain a bit of its sake and give you plenty of options to choose. Worth the try!
