As a start of our journey, we activated our JR East-South Hokkaido Rail Pass that is priced at ¥ 35,000 and hopped on the first ride with the Yamagata Shinkansen Tsubasa that departs from Ueno Station. It took about two and a half hours to get to Yamagata Station.
Reason behind we chose this pass was because we needed the 6 days coverage throughout our Tohoku region hops (though we didn’t go up to Hokkaido). Gentle reminder: all Yamagata Shinkansen Tsubasa required a reserved ticket to board the train. Remember to do it at the ticket office, make sure yourself have the reserved ticket if you are heading up to Yamagata.

It was an unforgettable experience where we were able to indulge in an endless pour of premium sake. We got the early bird ticket which was priced at SGD 45. 3 hours, free flow of sake tasting, every sip was a new discovery! Smooth and delicate flavours, crisp and refreshing note; every bottle has its own characteristic and special profile. We were extremely happy to get to try out many namazake (unpasteurised sake) here!!! And of course we found MANY bottles that we love over here and carried home a few bottles to continue party. Now I can’t wait for their next event oredi!
