After a few uninspiring first sips, he discovered a light, floral sake that changed his view of Japan’s national drink forever. Ryuta went on to study under the masters of 300-year-old sake brewery Ozawa in Okutama, where he invites his guests to retrace the mind-opening journey.Now, Ryuta goes by the nickname “Wasabi” and shares his love for Japanese culture and tradition through sake tours of Okutama. During this experience, you’ll sample five to six of Ozawa Brewery’s ten varieties of sake and listen to personal anecdotes and relatable stories from Ryuta’s own adventures. This opportunity was made possible thanks to Ryuta’s close relationship and solid trust with the brewery, which is otherwise not offered in English!🚆 The trip includes a fun-filled train ride from Shinjuku to the rolling hills and bright greenery of Okutama, a beloved hiking area and nature spot for Tokyoites, followed by a brewery tour and tasting session.Sipping sake alongside small bites surrounded by the nature of West Tokyo. 🍶🌿 Wandering the area, you can also find regional foods and snacks including tofu made with Okutama’s clear water.

Book this best-selling bar hopping tour in Kichijoji: https://bit.ly/3XfcHv1 Make your Tokyo trip one to remeber with this tour. 🍻 Bar hop between eclectic little gastropubs offering a whirlwind of creative foods and drinks, from horse meat shu-mai to oolong shochu, all while clinking glasses with locals in Kichijoji. 🌟Want to experience the hit Netflix series ""Midnight Diners: Tokyo Stories"" in real life? Then this Izakaya experience is the best way to see them all and live the true local experience in Tokyo. 🎌Kichijoji is widely known as one of the best places to live in Tokyo, but many don’t know of its local reputation for eclectic little bars and gastropubs. Some are so off-the-grid that even Google Maps doesn’t know of their existence! Most of these tiny bars are located in Harmonica Yokocho (or Harmonica Alley), which started as a flea market after World War II. Now, Kichijoji and Harmonica Yokocho are home to 1950s themed pubs, record-scratching bartenders, horse meat cuisine, and even a bar where the staff drink with you! 🍣🎶 Bar hopping in Harmonica Yokocho is for sure the best way to explore the winding maze of historic pubs and eateries in Kichijoji.Each Harmonica Yokocho bar only seats a few people, with some of the smallest seating only seven. No sooner will you have sat down and ordered a drink than you’ll be drawn into the exuberant atmosphere, conversing with talkative locals. Whether or not you speak Japanese, Harmonica Yokocho is the perfect place to strike up a conversation with your neighbors at the bar counter, because even if you don’t know Japanese, our bar hopping tour guide is happy to interpret. Soon, you’ll be cracking jokes and saying “kampai!” like a local. 🍻#barhopping #kichijoji #harmonicayokocho #japanesenightlife #tokyonightlife #izakaya #localexperience #foodtour #drinktour "

Secure yourself a spot this summer at the oldest sushi restaurant in Otemachi, Tokyo! https://bit.ly/45KvhgP 🍣 @kawaiiicoco This was the first sushi restaurant to open up in Otemachi, and nowadays it’s linked directly to the station itself. Fast approaching their 2022 centenary, they have somehow managed to maintain high standards of consistency and authenticity over all those years. The third generation chef draws upon the knowledge inherited from the older generations — the original rice vinegar recipe, for example — while putting his own stamp on the restaurant through his set menus and personal touches. One of his signature dishes is the conger eel, prepared with a mixed boiling and grilling method for an amazing texture. 👨‍🍳Counter seats are available from which to watch it all come together, but private rooms are also available. #otemachi #sushirestaurant #japan #japanesecuisine #authenticsushi #traveljapan #japanesefood
