The sake tasting session with Eriko will definitely be the highlight of our trip to Tokyo! Sampling a wide range of sakes from around Japan with Eriko was great fun. It was like drinking with a knowledgeable friend. Definitely try the unpasteurized sakes which are hard to find outside of Japan. Don’t miss this tour if you would like to learn more about the fascinating culture of sake.

This painting session was so fun! If you have no experience with visual arts, don’t worry — neither did I, and I was able to follow along without any issues! Our class painted an image of Tokyo Tower sunset, which doubles as a perfect little souvenir. Very much recommend doing this with a friend, but I also see this experience as equally enjoyable if I had joined alone.
