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!!

All I can say is WOW. I took this tour with Ryo and Momo with a colleague and fellow whiskey lover. To say we were impressed is an understatement. The tour of first the shire and then the Golden Gai area was informative and just the right level of detail before diving into the tasting. The tasting was superb, with an amazing selection of superb Japanese Whiskeys complemented by snacks and a light meal. The conversation, knowledge sharing and food and drink all exceeded all our expectations! Thank you Ryo and Momo for the unforgettable memories. Can’t wait to come back on my next trip. I’ll certainly book this tour again!

Our bar tour in Ebisu was a wonderful experience. Led by Dan- an exceptional guide- we had the opportunity to visit members only bars that were intimate and cozy and helmed by bar tenders that were incredibly knowledgeable about Japanese whiskey. Dan skillfully led us through a tasting tour of Japanese whiskey and catered the experience to our likes and tastes, and provided a plethora of knowledge about Tokyo along the way! We would absolutely book this experience again!
