Your knowledgeable host will lead you on a journey where you can savor authentic drinks and deepen your understanding of Japanese tea culture and nightlife.
You'll meet your guide at Gakugei-daigaku Station in Meguro, a trendy area that remains largely undiscovered by tourists, where you can enjoy an authentic night out in the city.

The second stop for the evening is a tea specialty bar that serves teas sourced from across Japan. Here, you can observe as a master brews your tea carefully and mindfully, and you can enjoy the full flavors of high-quality tea in cocktails, mocktails, and desserts.
