Ramen and Izakaya Tour in Shinjuku

Most working class Japanese people spend their time going to an izakaya to drink, relax, and have a good time after a long day at the office. While tiny, intimate izakaya could be a bit intimidating at first, these little gastropubs are actually the perfect place to go if you want to spend some time with friends or co-workers and have a drink or two. What’s unique about izakaya bars is that you can always order small servings from their menu and share them with your company. There’s always something for everyone, ranging from sushi to fried potatoes to yakitori and salads. Based on their best catch of the day, their menus change but you’re always assured to have the best one! Learn about ramen and izakaya culture in a private Ramen and Izakaya Tour in Shinjuku!
