His mission is to unlock the "soul of Japan" through experiences that are as authentic as they are exclusive.
Born in Normandy and based in Tokyo, Sebastien is a certified Advanced Sake Professional and cultural bridge-builder who combines deep local expertise with a sophisticated European perspective.
A former financier turned educator at Le Cordon Bleu, he will serve as your exclusive main guide for this three-day journey, personally orchestrating every detail to ensure your connection to the land, its people, and its history is nothing short of transformative.

While you immerse yourself in the journey, Pascal is the silent force ensuring the world flows without interruption. As Operations Director, he orchestrates daily logistics with unwavering precision, allowing you to experience nothing but tranquility.
