Shinjuku with Max

5.00We enjoyed eating our way through Shinjuku with Max. The food was delicious and the small bars had such a cosy vibe. My son and I tried food and went to places we would never have found on our own. Max was so generous in sharing his knowledge of the food and Tokyo and made great recommendations for the tour and for our time after. Just book it - now!
Food and fun

5.00Hawaiian Joe did the Sake tour followed by the isakaya bar tour with us. He is very knowledgeable on both fronts. He brought a lot of fun and deep understanding of sake then knew all the little fun tidbits of Shinjuku. It was extremely helpful to get our bearings. Thanks Joe for a cracker time
