Story of Sake, provides you with authentic sake experience combined with the local culture of Yamagata. Once you pass the mountain ranges and enter into Yamagata, you will see the untapped nature with local culture well preserved, where prominent “made-in-Yamagata” sake is brewed. In Yamagata, you will visit some of the best sake breweries in the world, know about sake and taste sake, as you visit wineries in Bourgogne. In the evening, you will be having sake pairing dinner – the best way to enjoy sake. Further, a lot of local experiences of your taste – including activities in the preserved nature and warming in an onsen – are waiting for you.

We have just welcomed the guests: three Japanese, one Korean, one Chinese/Germany and one Australian - so international. The request received was "we want to see beautiful coloured leaves!" Late October to early November is the best season for coloured leaves in Yamagata, so the trip was organised so that guests can fully enjoy them here.

The itinerary was as follows.

Day 1

Mitobe Sake Brewery

Tendo Onsen

Day 2

Dewazakura Sake Brewery

Local Lunch (soba noodle)

Koyo Walk by the river

Yamadera Walk

Sake Pairing Dinner

Kaminoyama Onsen

Day 3

Sake Glass Making (Pottery)

Professional Sake Tasting Session

Imoni Party

Zao Onsen

The coloured leaves were so gorgeous, and we were able to enjoy them at everywhere we went. The guests had a number of occasions (two in Day 1, three in Day 2 and two in Day 3) where they were able to taste sake, which is the key selling point of this sake tour.

Yamagata is going to have snow before the end of the year, and sake brewing season is coming very soon. We have one of the best ski resorts in Japan - Zao Onsen Snow Park - in Yamagata. Consider coming to Yamagata for your next trip.
