Glad I could start a debate, but I meant that the sake sets, the little cups and whatnot from the souvenier shops, those are touristy. But I'm a tourist as much as I hate the word so I'm fine with buying and gifting them. They are still representative of both a trip and the location from which they came, but how many Japanese people buy them? Sake itself I would argue is not touristy.
