일본 와쇼쿠 주류 투어

If you’re interested in checking out Yatai food stalls in Fukuoka, this is the way to do it! It’s also a great first-night adventure in the city because Bruce is extremely knowledgeable and shares generously. My partner and I spent 4+ hours with Bruce, and we’d do it again in a heartbeat. We walked all over the city and stopped in three different Yatai stalls, eating tapas/pintxos style. Every bite of food and each drink we tried was delicious. It was a great intro to Fukuoka/Hakata, and a perfect way to visit the Yatai stalls, which could be intimidating to navigate for the first time on your own.

Absolutely amazing! Great food and lots of fun. Solid twelve out of 10!!

Hakata yatais are WHERE IT'S AT and there isn't a better person to show you the best places to try out than Bruce. I came to know about Bruce through a Youtube video he did for Japan byFood, so I was fairly sure coming into the tour that we'd be well taken care of. And Bruce did not disappoint! The thing about yatais is that their operational hours and days can be very unpredictable, so you need a tour guide who really knows the yatai scene and is not wedded to following a specific plan or script. Our tour was set for a Sunday night, so when we met Bruce, he explained that, although he had a plan in mind, there was a good chance we'd need to improvise along the way because it was a Sunday night. He proved to be right, as we needed to pivot right from the start because the madam running the first yatai he wanted to introduce to us did not set up for the evening. We ended up hitting a total four yatais, which included Ultra C (great oden), "Riverside Restaurant" (cozy izakaya serving some righteous ramen), Tomochan (grilled skewer goodness), and finally Bar Ebi-chan (literally an awesome bar sitting in the middle of the street run by a very professional couple). We chatted, ate, drank and laughed throughout the evening. Before we knew it, we'd been touring for almost 4 hours. Time flew by so quickly. A sign of a great tour and a great tour guide. We'll see you again, Bruce!

Had a great time with Shehab, showing me the real Osaka experience. He's so kind helping me beyond the call of duty with getting trains, etc. Highly recommended!

We had such an incredible time with Bruce! Without his help my husband and I never would’ve had the courage to attempt going into the yatai stalls by ourselves. Bruce made the process very smooth and comforting. He has incredible social skills, and he’s amazing at putting everyone at ease. He was so much fun to interact with. Plus he knew all of the best spots, and all the best specialty dishes to try—it was all just so perfect! THANK YOU Bruce!! Even though we had just a short time together, we’ll never forget you and this incredible yatai tour <3 I really can’t recommend this tour enough!

My partner and I had such a wonderful time on the tour. Satsuki was amazing, very knowledgeable (as she’s a local) and welcoming. So happy we did this tour.

Good food and good sake with Shehab! It was nice that we got to choose our menu at some place. We were the only one, so it was a private tour of some drinks and food! Highly recommend!

What a fantastic experience. We met Bruce on a rainy evening and he still found us an excellent yatai where we enjoyed wagyu beef. Unagu (conger eel) tempura and other delicious dishes. Deciding the rain had eliminated some of our yatai choices we went hunting for other options - and found two off the hook gyoza restaurants. One was a favorite of Bruce and the other a recommendation from the Yatai chef. They were both excellent in different ways. We finished the evening with a delicious bowl of fukuoka's signature ramen and a pleasant walk home. Bruce's knowledge of all things food and Japan was impeccable and his ability to assist us in finding the best choices for our taste despite the weather was exceptional. 10 out of 10. Would recommend .

Bruce was awesome. So welcoming and knowledgeable about the area, having lived here for 40 years and counting. Not only did he bring us to Yatai stalls that were amazing, but he personally knew each and every owner like family. It really felt like going out with an old friend to all his favorite spot and introducing us to his friends. I would highly recommend and will definitely see him again when I come back to Fukuoka!

We had a great time with Bruce and learned a lot about Yatai culture and the food scene in Fukuoka City. Well worth a try if you’re a visitor to this city.

Amazing time! This bar-hopping tour through Golden Gai, Kabukicho, and Omoide Yokocho was an amazing. Our guides were both friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome right away. Each stop had its own unique vibe, and the drinks and local bites were delicious. It was the perfect mix of culture, fun, and nightlife. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore Tokyo!

Fantastic experience. Both guides were highly qualified and extremely knowledgeable on all things Japan. They brought us to locations that would not have been easy to find on our own. We had a very pleasant experience and a great conversation enjoying wonderful dining and drinking options.
