We enjoyed having our own personal tour guide (Keiko) to show us places we might have missed if we were on our own, especially the small shops on the quiet back roads. Good selection of food choices in Yanaka Ginza--we were stuffed at the end. We also appreciated small touches such as our guide providing a bag for our trash and hand wipes for our sticky hands. Overall, the pacing and time allotted for this tour was just right.

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.

Making Nerikiri with Satoko was one of the highlights of my trip! She is so capable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, and is gracious enough to hold the class in her beautiful home. The class was easy to get to on the train with a short walk from the station. I learnt so much about wagashi and nerikiri making and I can’t wait to make some at home. Thank you Ogawa-san! I had a beautiful time.
