Super séjour autour du saké !
Une très belle expérience très japonisante : la visite de la distillerie de saké était très passionnante (un grand merci à Grégoire pour nous avoir montré les dessous de la fabrication de saké), le repas à l’Ode Marine était très bon et faisait écho à la visite du saké ,l’hébergement était parfait! La visite du jardin zen le lendemain était très dépaysante (on a eu en revanche un problème de réservation pour le jardin zen et on a dû payer les entrées nous même)
(Sake-tasting in the Rhone Valley - Note : 5/5)
