Description

Elevate your Tokyo nightlife experience with a premium sake and Japanese cuisine pairing masterclass in Shibuya. Go beyond cheap drinks and immerse yourself in the art of Japanese sake tasting and food pairing with a certified local expert. This isn't a simple bar crawl; it's a curated educational journey into the refined world of Nihonshu (sake). Designed for the discerning traveler, visit authentic, high-quality Shibuya izakayas that specialize in regional sakes and traditional cuisine. You won't just drink; you'll learn how to drink like a connoisseur. Unlike 'all-you-can-drink' tours, focus on quality over quantity, guiding you through a tasting flight of at least 5 distinct types of premium sake (Junmai, Ginjo, Daiginjo, etc.) at specialized venues. Learn the secrets of Aisyou (affinity between food and drink). Your guide will pair each sake with an authentic Japanese dish (like regional Oden or delicate Sashimi) to maximize the flavor experience. Explore the local side of Shibuya, visiting intimate izakayas where the focus is on craftsmanship, not neon lights. Experience genuine conversation with your guide and feel the Kanpai spirit. Explore three different types of izakaya environments, from a standing bar known for craft sake to a seated restaurant specializing in regional Japanese comfort food. Gain confidence in reading a sake menu and understanding the nuances of temperature, rice type, and region.
