Picture yourself in the vibrant streets of Ginza, guided by Ryo, a seasoned foodie tour guide and photographer. With his expertise, you'll delve into the heart of Japanese food culture, savoring local delicacies and drinks at authentic izakaya restaurants with stunning photographs to immortalize an incredible evening.
Your food adventure will take place at three different izakaya restaurants chosen by your guide, where you'll savor an assortment of Japanese dishes, seasonal specialties and refreshing drinks. This tour includes around eight to ten dishes and four drinks at three izakaya restaurants. Exact food contents will depend on the season and availability but may consist of fresh seafood, Wagyu BBQ, clay pot rice dishes, and more. As for drinks, given that most izakaya specialize in sake, it's only right that you indulge in the best pairings of sake that Ryo can recommend. Passionate about Japanese sake, Ryo has traveled nationwide searching for the best brews. Four drinks are included in this tour, so you can choose to enjoy four kinds of sake curated by Ryo. For those who prefer other beverages, several drink options are available.
Raise your glasses for an incredible night of good food, drinks, and conversation! Your host will take you to hidden local spots away from tourist crowds. As the evening unfolds, if you'd like, Ryo will capture moments in stunning photographs that will later be shared with you for free, including your portrait near the iconic Ginza main crossing.
