We had a fantastic time at our tasting thanks to Hayato, the man who led our experience!! He was very knowledgeable and generous with his time, including sharing recommendations for bars and things to do during the rest of our stay. We had a lot of fun learning about the history of Japanese whiskey and experiencing the nuances in taste among the different makers and bottles. Would highly recommend!!!

Amazing and informative experience learning all things to know about Sake!! Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys a drink and wants to know more about such an iconic Japanese form of alcohol. Very keen and interested to learn more about a potential winter tour in the snow surrounding this.

I've always loved Japan By Food on YouTube, so when I came to Japan I wanted to do a tour with By Food. It did not disappoint. Our tour guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. All the hosts at the bars were super welcoming. And they were even welcoming enough to get my husband to do karaoke which has never happened before. I also loved how personal it was for having a tour that was so nice and small group. 200% recommend!

Discover the Delight of Shochu in Tokyo

Tokyo is not only Japan's bustling capital but also a hub for delightful culinary experiences. Among these, Shochu stands out as a unique and cherished spirit that offers a distinct taste of Japanese culture. As you explore Tokyo’s vibrant food scene, you'll find that Shochu takes center stage in various dining experiences, adding a traditional twist to modern gastronomy. Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or a curious first-timer, Tokyo provides plenty of opportunities to savor and understand this exquisite Japanese liquor.

Pairings and Tastings: A Gastronomic Journey

Shochu, unlike its close cousin Sake, is a distilled spirit usually made from barley, sweet potatoes, or rice. Its versatility makes it an ideal companion for a wide range of dishes, both traditional and contemporary. In Tokyo, you can indulge in curated Shochu tastings that guide you through the various flavors and production methods. Some experiences may offer guided pairing sessions, where Shochu is matched with local delicacies such as yakitori, tempura, or sushi, enhancing the flavors of both the food and the beverage. These tastings and pairings not only satisfy the palate but also educate about the nuances of Shochu production and consumption.

Immersive Shochu Experiences in Tokyo

For those looking to deepen their understanding of Shochu, Tokyo has a wealth of immersive experiences. Join a Shochu making workshop where you can learn the art of distillation from master craftsmen, offering insights into the traditional methods passed down through generations. Additionally, cultural tours often combine visits to local distilleries with historical storytelling, providing a comprehensive view of Shochu’s role in Japanese culture and economy. Evening izakaya tours are also popular, where you can enjoy Shochu amidst the lively local nightlife, tasting various brews and discussing their characteristics with knowledgeable guides.

Each of these food experiences not only highlights the rich flavors of Shochu but also allows you to connect with Tokyo's cultural and culinary heritage. Whether you are embarking on a tasting journey or participating in interactive workshops, Tokyo promises an unforgettable Shochu experience. Take advantage of these unique opportunities to explore the depths of Japanese cuisine and the spirit that enhances it.
