The whiskey and sake tasting tour led by Thomas was incredible! Thomas was a very knowledgable host and was a great guide who explained everything given to us from proper etiquette, to history in great detail. The places he took us to for the whiskey and sake tasting and also the restaurant for dinner were absolutely incredible in terms of quality of food and atmosphere. Some of which were some of the best foods and drinks I’ve had so far! Absolutely must try and would gladly book again!

Had a wonderful time on this tour thanks to our extremely knowledgeable guide, Gabriela. She took us to all the bars and restaurants and I enjoyed every one we went to. The staff at each place we went to were so nice and very engaging. Gabriela herself was very friendly and personable, and she gave great recommendations on what to order. I have lived in Japan for almost 6 months now, but on this tour I was able to try some foods that I have never eaten before. Gabriela taught us a lot, not just about food, but also about the places we visited and then Japan/Japanese society and culture from a broader perspective. Got a lot of fresh insight to life in Japan. Arigato Gabriela, 10/10 recommend!
