Amazing experience. Very educational and fun. We tasted over 20 varieties of sake. It is a must do in Tokyo. Eriko is an amazing hostess. 100% worth the cost.

Amazing! Eriko was fun, engaging and very knowledgeable on everything about sake, which made the experience that much more enjoyable. We even brought a friend along who lives in Japan, and he was impressed! Definitely a highlight of our trip. I can'tsay enough...highly recommended!

I booked this tasting for my brother who is a fiend for sake, but my husband and I are not big drinkers. This was an incredibly fun adventure! Emiko is so knowledgeable about the entire process and brought laminated pictures to demonstrate her points! She's had such an interesting life and worked in several breweries herself! I knew nothing about sake aside that it was made from rice and now I can tell you all about that rice and what happens to it! And that was just the learning part! The drinking part was even better! Luckily at the location, she was able to grab them all so easily and then we could buy any of the ones we liked! It was so charming how much she new about the old AND new breweries. We tried so many different sakes I feel like an expert now! We got to learn about where each was made and their families of breweries! Emiko is so charming and personable I can't recommend this experience more! She even helped us find a restaurant afterwards to help soak up all the alcohol! If you're even minutely curious about sake you should definitely book with Emiko and get an unforgettable experience!!

My family from the US and I learned a lot about sake, and we got to try various delicious sake at the store. Eriko was a fantastic host. She explained the process of making sake and answered our questions with patience. I could feel her passion for sake from the way she talks about her favorite breweries in the country. The bar was a bit small but there was space for a big group of 5 (and we are not Japanese-sized!) We recommend this experience for those who are new to sake and are looking for an English-speaking guide.

This is a must do for anybody who would like to have an introduction to Japanese whiskey. Shugo, my guide for the whiskey journey, met me at the appointed place and brought me to the whiskey tasting room. He then told me about the origins of Japanese whiskey and how it has developed since. Then we started the tasting with Shugo seeking to get a feel for my particular whiskey taste so that he could select the appropriate Japanese whiskies to try. For me it was a great experience to be able to taste a wide range of Japanese whiskies from throughout Japan to understand the variety of aroma, simplicity or complexity of taste, and lightness or sharpness on the throat. Definitely so very interesting and unique whiskies. We had a good discussion and Shugo has perfect English which made for a very interesting sharing of whiskey experiences.

Discover the Rich Flavors of Izakaya Food Tastings

When it comes to authentic Japanese dining experiences, an Izakaya stands out as an iconic part of the culture. These informal Japanese gastropubs offer a unique and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for sampling a variety of dishes that are both traditional and innovative. Izakaya food tastings bring the best of this world to your table, allowing you to explore a broad range of flavors and textures. From savory grilled meats to fresh seafood and vegetarian delights, Izakaya tastings provide a delightful culinary journey for your palate.

What to Expect in an Izakaya Tasting

An Izakaya tasting experience typically includes a selection of small plates, akin to Spanish tapas, where you can savor an array of dishes crafted with care and seasonal ingredients. Expect to enjoy options like yakitori – skewered chicken grilled to perfection, karaage – juicy, deep-fried chicken morsels that are crispy and delicious, and sashimi made from the freshest fish. Vegetables are also given a special place, often served tempura-style or in flavorful salads that highlight the purity of their natural taste. The variety in an Izakaya menu means there is something for everyone, including those who prefer meat, seafood, or vegetable-based dishes.

Pair Your Meal with Traditional Japanese Drinks

No Izakaya experience is complete without pairing your food with traditional Japanese drinks. Sake is a popular choice, with its clean and subtle flavor complementing the diverse tastes of Izakaya dishes. For those who prefer something with a bit of fizz, Japanese beer offers a refreshing contrast to the savory elements of the meal. Additionally, you might encounter shochu, a distilled spirit often mixed with other ingredients to create delightfully unique cocktails. Each beverage brings out different aspects of the Izakaya food, making your tasting experience even more memorable.

Whether you are a first-time visitor or a seasoned enthusiast, Izakaya food tastings offer a wonderful opportunity to dive into the rich culinary traditions of Japan. These tastings provide a relaxed and enjoyable way to explore new dishes and discover favorite flavors, all while enjoying the communal and convivial spirit that Izakayas are famous for.
