Private Nara - Sake, Craft & Food Walking Tour

Discover what Nara city has to offer besides its famous landscapes on this private walking tour accompanied by a knowledgeable and friendly guide. You will taste traditional sweets, Japanese sake, and craft beer while enjoying local and authentic food in the amazing city of Nara.

The curated itinerary features a tasting session with five types of sake at a highly appreciated local sake brewery, where you also have the possibility to buy sake and other souvenirs at the shop. Additionally, you will visit a mixed traditional and modern Japanese craft beer micro brewery created in 2017 in the old town, where you will enjoy a very smooth and refreshing beer with snacks included.

Step back in time by touring a replica of a “Machiya”—a traditional town house from the Edo period—to learn how people used to live and manage their businesses and shops before the country opened to the world. Your culinary journey also includes sampling Kaki no Ha Zushi (sushi rolled in a persimmon leaf) and visiting Nakatanidou, the most famous mochi maker in the city. If your timing is good, you will get to attend a live mochi pounding session and eat the freshest mochi just pounded a minute before right in front of you. Conclude your experience with an early dinner at a local restaurant for a highly original and authentic food experience in “Naramachi,” the historic old part of the city.
