Kobe: Nada-Gogo Sake Brewery Tour & Local Izakaya Dinner in Sannomiya

Discover Kobe through sake, local food, and izakaya culture on this guided experience.

In the afternoon, visit sake breweries in the famous Nada-Gogo area, a celebrated sake region. Learn the basics of Japanese sake, how it is made, how to enjoy it, and how it connects with local food culture.

After the brewery visits, return to Sannomiya for dinner at a long-established local izakaya. Enjoy the warm atmosphere of a Japanese dining spot, order food and drinks with your guide’s support, and experience the evening like a local.

Your guide is a Kobe-based Japanese language teacher who will explain everything in English, including sake basics, izakaya etiquette, toast expressions, how to order food, and the culture behind Japanese drinking and dining.
