Tour de lujo por Tokio: sake, cócteles, whisky y maridaje.

We had such a great time and our guide, Sae, is amazing .By the end of the evening it felt like we were old friends. Our favorite stop was an authentic izakaya where the menu was entirely in Japanese. Thankfully Sae ordered an amazing meal for us to pair with sake including delicious namafu and creamy Yuba skin, both specialties of Kyoto. It was so fun to explore the city with a local expert who took us to some of her favorite places.

Josh was a great guide, very friendly, informative and great fun. He made sure that we also drank water as well as tasting some really great and unusual cocktails particular to Japan. He asked which we preferred cocktails or more whiskey based - I like both but my husband preferred whisky, so Josh took us to a bar to taste different Japanese brands. He also showed us a shrine which we never would have known was there and explained the culture and worship behind it. He told us lots of interesting things about Tokyo. He was much better than the guide the Travel Company we arranged the holiday with on arrival the day before to Japan! He made an enormous effort to ensure that we had a good time - I would highly recommend him.

Amazing amazing tour! From the hosts to the hidden gem stops, it's truly for people who want to get a local experience and would be uncomfortable trying to figure it out on their own. I normally don't go to bars on my own because I'm a little intimidated by the language barrier. However, being on this tour made everything so easy and I learned so much. I got to try a matcha martini which was totally the highlight of the tour!
