The exact food depends on availability but typically includes delicacies like shiro-ebi (fresh white shrimp), kanburi shabu-shabu (winter yellowtail hotpot) and other refreshingly creative dishes that define Toyama's food culture. As for drinks, sake is recommended, but definitely not the only choice. Soft drinks and other alcoholic beverages are also available. A total of four drinks and seven dishes are included in the tour, so you’ll get to experience a wide variety of flavors.
The tour will begin at a seafood restaurant, where you will enjoy seasonal dishes with local Toyama sake pairings from the restaurant owner and chef.

You will then wrap up the tour at a local bar, sipping original cocktails crafted from local and seasonal ingredients sourced throughout the prefecture. Enjoy the cozy atmosphere of this small watering hole and learn fascinating insights from your bartender.
At each of these locations, you will have the unique chance to not just experience authentic Toyama cuisine, but to also form personal connections with the locals. You'll eat, drink, and tour with them, catching a glimpse of what exactly makes Toyama so special.
