We will start off the evening in a classic Tachinomi– Tachinomi are Japanese standing bars (“tachi” meaning stand, “nomi” meaning drink). Traditionally, they were a no-frills type of bar located around train stations or in working-class areas, where salarymen would come to unwind after a hard day’s work. Let’s kanpai(toast) and kick off the tour in local style.

Japanese ramen has taken the world by storm in recent years but there is nothing quite like a real bowl of ramen enjoyed in the back streets of the big city. We will be visiting a ramen shop with a lot of history that has even been featured in a Japanese manga (graphic novel) — Please note on days when this shop is closed we will visit a back up shop serving amazing regional ramen.

Wind your way along back streets and take a sneak peek inside one of the best spots to buy souvenirs as we head over to our hidden gem izakaya (Japanese pub) wonderland where your guide will help you enjoy some of the best local dishes and drinks with a retro atmosphere like nothing you’ve seen before.Choose your own sake, beer, or special mixed drinks at this spot. (Non alcoholic drinks also available) before we head off to a sweet finish with our surprise dessert experience.
