5.00The best fun and highly recommend! Our guide Anna was amazing all night, and all of the food was incredible 🤤 At each venue we were introduced to delicious food (so much food!), and stories on the history and context of Japanese culture! We had the best night with Anna, and you’d be lucky to get her as your guide 🌸
Must do. Highlight of our trip.
