5.00Absolutely fun filled tour with Max. We ate out way through yakitori, sushi, sobu and other delights. Very generous amount of local beers and sake to round off the Fabolous experience. Would certainly recommend this tour for not only newbies to Tokyo but anyone looking for a good night out.
Super Informative!

5.00Super informative. Max gave a really good overview of the sake making practice. We got to try a variety of sakes made in many different styles. It was very helpful in deciding what styles of sake we like best.
Great time!
