Aki took us to a part of Tokyo I would not have seen otherwise, down narrow streets packed with restaurants and bars, some of them under the train tracks. Delicious sake, sashimi, grilled meat, ramen and a friendly and personable host. Seeing a tiny bar with friendly customers was a highlight. Come very hungry!

We had a great time on the tour. Asami very knowledgeable and generous in sharing information. It definitely felt like we were having an authentic experience, which was a welcome break after the craziness of the big cities. I’d highly recommend taking the tour, tasting the delicious locally brewed soy sauce and sake, and enjoying learning about the history of the town.

Vegan Delights: A Taste of Japan

In a country known for its meat and fish-rich dishes, you might wonder about the availability of vegan options. Fear not! The Japanese have mastered the art of using plant-based ingredients like tofu, seaweed, and seasonal vegetables to craft delicious vegan meals.

Discover vibrant food scenes in bustling metropolitan areas or quaint countryside towns, each offering a unique twist on vegan dining.

The Art of Japanese Sake

No culinary tour of Japan is complete without immersing yourself in the world of sake. Known as "nihonshu" in Japan, sake is a versatile beverage that can be enjoyed hot or cold, depending on the season. It is brewed through a process of fermenting polished rice, water, and koji mold, and comes in a variety of styles and flavor profiles. When paired with vegan dishes, sake enhances the dining experience by complementing the natural flavors of the food. Attend sake tastings, visit traditional breweries, and learn how to pair different types of sake with a menu designed to unfold a spectrum of flavors. Gain insights into the artistry behind sake brewing and discover which sake type tickles your taste buds the most.

Combining vegan food with Japanese sake opens up a world of exquisite taste experiences, highlighting the best of Japan's culinary arts. As you plan your journey, remember that each region offers its own unique vegan and sake delights, inviting you to explore and savor new gastronomic horizons.
