日本酒吧之旅(3)

Great food experience. All the choices Yoshi made, and his recommended extras, were well worth sampling (chicken meatballs can be yummy, who knew?). The info Yoshi shared was interesting, he was easy company, and we had a good night. Easy to recommend this food tour.

Yoshi was exceptional. Friendly, funny and always looking out for you. Would highly recommend Yoshi to anyone visiting Japan.

Brilliant experience! Taiga was a fantastic host!

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Nice variety of bars and restaurants and mix of foods and drinks. Loved the narrow alleys that are so unique in Tokyo. Guide was very informative.

Yoshi-san was a fantastic izakaya tour guide! He gave us some great advice about how to find great izakaya, how to avoid bad izakaya, how to order at izakaya, information on the dishes/drinks we ate, and gave us some great information about Japanese culture and food! He also noticed that my husband and I knew some basic chopstick manners and used it as an opportunity to educate us about chopstick manners! Yoshi-san was also very personable and fun to get to know! I felt very taken care of during this tour. As a celiac in Japan, eating can be a really tough challenge (I ate a lot of hard boiled eggs and fruit in Osaka). But Yoshi made sure that I had more than enough celiac-safe food to eat, and fantastic food at that! I had delicious wagyu (for a negligible extra fee), chicken meatballs (tsukune), grilled scallops, stingray fins, fried fish-wrapped cucumber, and potato wedges - all gluten free! The sake was also naturally gluten free and very smooth and fruit-forward - delicious. Finally, we went to a bar with anime-themed drinks for our last drink and Yoshi-san sang a fabulous rendition of "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi, which has been an earworm ever since, haha. Then we all sang karaoke together for a bit before saying good night. Yoshi-san left us with personal food gifts from Japan. It was a really nice touch. And he sent us all the location/food/drinks info from our night! If you're questioning whether or not you should go on this tour, do it! It'll be a great time!
