This was a superb food tour. We joined this on our first night in Japan and it was a great introduction for how to enjoy izakaya, how to navigate the local area, and some handy phrases & etiquette. Yoshi was great energy! He also took special care to accommodate my vegetarian diet as well as another attendee's dietary request too. Plus the food & stops we went to were all excellent! I would highly recommend this tour.

We're now about two months post-tour and post-trip, and this tour is still something that we talk about. It was one of the best parts of our trip to Tokyo and Simon was a fantastic guide. The sake was great and it was wonderful to have such attention paid to my dietary restrictions. This was our first full day in Japan and we were glad to have spent it on the tour!

It was a wonderful experience with our host, Yoshi. The food and drinks were yummy, and Yoshi was very personable and able to explain the areas we toured, as well as the traditions, not to mention the food and drink. I would definitely encourage anyone traveling to Japan to take this tour if they are even a little bit familiar with the Shinjuku area. You might learn something, or even make new friends!

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!!

Explore the Vibrant Nightlife of Tokyo with Drinking Tours

Tokyo, the dynamic heart of Japan, offers an incredible array of culinary delights and nightlife experiences that are second to none. Among the best ways to dive into Tokyo's vibrant after-hours scene is to embark on a drinking tour. Tokyo drinking tours present a unique opportunity to explore the city's rich tapestry of bars, izakayas (Japanese pubs), and other hidden gems that cater to both traditional tastes and contemporary palates. These tours are perfect for first-time visitors and seasoned travelers alike, offering a fantastic blend of drinking culture, local interactions, and tantalizing food pairings.

Discover Hidden Izakayas and Stylish Bars

Tokyo's drinking tours take you off the beaten path, revealing a side of the city that is often reserved for locals. You'll find yourself in the heart of atmospheric neighborhoods such as Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Ebisu, known for their lively bars and izakayas. These spots are brimming with character and offer a warm, inviting environment where you can enjoy a drink or two along with delectable Japanese snacks like yakitori (grilled chicken skewers), sashimi, and tempura. Whether you're sipping sake or indulging in Japanese whisky, each stop on a drinking tour is an opportunity to learn more about the unique aspects of Tokyo's drinking culture.

Enjoy Unique Cultural Experiences during Your Night Out

Drinking tours in Tokyo are not just about hitting the bars; they are a full-fledged cultural experience. Tour guides, often local experts, provide invaluable insights into Japanese customs, drinking etiquette, and the history behind each establishment. These tours often include live music or other entertainment, giving you a taste of the city's eclectic nightlife. Moreover, you have the chance to interact with fellow travelers and locals, making it an excellent opportunity to forge new friendships. Each tour offers something different, allowing you to choose based on your interests—whether you prefer the historic charm of traditional izakayas or the modern allure of rooftop bars with breathtaking views of Tokyo's skyline.

Embarking on a Tokyo drinking tour promises an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, fun, and insightful discoveries. So, raise your glass and toast to an incredible night out in one of the world's most exciting cities!
