Drinking Tours

Yoshi is an amazing tour guide, funny and engaging! The food was amazing at fun locations we never would have found on our own! Excellent adventure!

Few experiences I’ve had in my life have been as exceptional from start to finish as this one. Our guide was an absolute treasure trove of knowledge, sharing fascinating insights into Kyoto’s food culture, traditions, and craftsmanship. Each stop offered an intimate, often private experience that went far beyond simply tasting products. We learned the stories behind them and gained a genuine appreciation for the care and skill that go into making them. The ponzu experience was a particular standout, as we each had the opportunity to create our own custom blend. What made the experience truly special was how every stop built upon the last, with us collecting ingredients along the way for a crescendo of a finale at the bar, where each ingredient came together and shone in its own right. It was thoughtful, immersive, and absolutely delicious. Of all the experiences we had during our 15 days in Japan, this was one of the defining highlights. If you’re visiting Kyoto, do yourself a favor and book this experience. You’d be doing yourself a disservice to miss it.

This is the second time doing this tour and loved it all the same if not more than last time! Yoshi is a great and knowledgeable host!

Yoshi was amazing. Enjoyed the tour immensely. The locations and the food he chose for us was absolutely delicious. There was enough highballs, beers, lemon sours, and saki to go around. We ended the night at a karioki bar. I would highly recommend this company for a future tour!

Reina was an excellent guide, very informative and friendly!

Bruce was great nice food and introduction to Nakasu Tenjin area

Fantastic time. Was one of the main reasons for coming to Fukuoka and was not disappointed.

Our guide, Laiana, was absolutely superb. She was personable, knowledgeable and warm. By the end of the tour, we had forgotten that she was a tour guide. It felt like we were exploring the city with a friend who wanted to show us her favorite spots.

Such a fun night! Yoshi took us to great places, shared wonderful food, drink and energy with our group. We had the best time and it was a perfect introduction to the city. Also loved the language and culture insights…and did I mention the food :)

The brewery tour was interesting. It was not the season for it to be running but we were able to see all the working parts. The host in Japanese was a bit long winded and thankfully our guide did not translate everything he said but it did make the tour drag on a bit. However all was good as our guide suggested a wonderful place for us to have lunch and end our day on a good note.

Touring with Yoshi was super fun. We had an outstanding variety of food and nightlife and would absolutely recommend this trip to others. Thanks, Yoshi!

What a wonderful way to explore a city! Trey took us down some dark alleys and I loved it! It was exactly what I was looking for. Very small and intimate venues I never would have found or ventured into on my own. A true Osaka experience! Thank you!
