My family from the US and I learned a lot about sake, and we got to try various delicious sake at the store. Eriko was a fantastic host. She explained the process of making sake and answered our questions with patience. I could feel her passion for sake from the way she talks about her favorite breweries in the country. The bar was a bit small but there was space for a big group of 5 (and we are not Japanese-sized!) We recommend this experience for those who are new to sake and are looking for an English-speaking guide.

This is a must do for anybody who would like to have an introduction to Japanese whiskey. Shugo, my guide for the whiskey journey, met me at the appointed place and brought me to the whiskey tasting room. He then told me about the origins of Japanese whiskey and how it has developed since. Then we started the tasting with Shugo seeking to get a feel for my particular whiskey taste so that he could select the appropriate Japanese whiskies to try. For me it was a great experience to be able to taste a wide range of Japanese whiskies from throughout Japan to understand the variety of aroma, simplicity or complexity of taste, and lightness or sharpness on the throat. Definitely so very interesting and unique whiskies. We had a good discussion and Shugo has perfect English which made for a very interesting sharing of whiskey experiences.

We booked the Wasake Sake Experience, Asakusa, through byFood, but they also do walk-ins. We were given 10 coins on arrival, and some tasting notes so we could choose from the 50+ sake’s available. Most are 1 coin per shot but there are some premium ones at 2 or 3 coins. We were given plenty of water and some snacks and were guided through the process by Bo, who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, highly recommended!

Explore the Vibrant Nightlife of Tokyo with Drinking Tours

Tokyo, the dynamic heart of Japan, offers an incredible array of culinary delights and nightlife experiences that are second to none. Among the best ways to dive into Tokyo's vibrant after-hours scene is to embark on a drinking tour. Tokyo drinking tours present a unique opportunity to explore the city's rich tapestry of bars, izakayas (Japanese pubs), and other hidden gems that cater to both traditional tastes and contemporary palates. These tours are perfect for first-time visitors and seasoned travelers alike, offering a fantastic blend of drinking culture, local interactions, and tantalizing food pairings.

Discover Hidden Izakayas and Stylish Bars

Tokyo's drinking tours take you off the beaten path, revealing a side of the city that is often reserved for locals. You'll find yourself in the heart of atmospheric neighborhoods such as Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Ebisu, known for their lively bars and izakayas. These spots are brimming with character and offer a warm, inviting environment where you can enjoy a drink or two along with delectable Japanese snacks like yakitori (grilled chicken skewers), sashimi, and tempura. Whether you're sipping sake or indulging in Japanese whisky, each stop on a drinking tour is an opportunity to learn more about the unique aspects of Tokyo's drinking culture.

Enjoy Unique Cultural Experiences during Your Night Out

Drinking tours in Tokyo are not just about hitting the bars; they are a full-fledged cultural experience. Tour guides, often local experts, provide invaluable insights into Japanese customs, drinking etiquette, and the history behind each establishment. These tours often include live music or other entertainment, giving you a taste of the city's eclectic nightlife. Moreover, you have the chance to interact with fellow travelers and locals, making it an excellent opportunity to forge new friendships. Each tour offers something different, allowing you to choose based on your interests—whether you prefer the historic charm of traditional izakayas or the modern allure of rooftop bars with breathtaking views of Tokyo's skyline.

Embarking on a Tokyo drinking tour promises an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, fun, and insightful discoveries. So, raise your glass and toast to an incredible night out in one of the world's most exciting cities!
