5.00We did a tour with Wesley who lives in Tokyo. He was the best guide on our 14 day trip to Japan. I highly recommend him for any part of Tokyo. We visited several quaint sites to get a real feel for where locals go. Didn't think I would like Sake but it actually is pretty good. Lots of varieties so a Sake for everyone. Wesley was great at recommending different drinks at each place we visited.

5.00Excellent tour. Our host Jacob Gin (appropriately named) was very knowledgeable about both food, drink and the local area. Energetic and personable. He showed us the hidden parts of Tokyo we would never have found without him.
A super nice evening and perfect entry for our Japan trip

5.00Just landed in Tokyo we met with the super friendly Sandra for sake, cocktail 🍸, whiskey and pairing tour. We then started in a so-called Antenna-Shop where products of a certain region of Japan are offered, mainly also for people from Tokyo who miss their home region. There we had a small sake tasting with matching aperitif accompaniment. In addition, we were immediately introduced to the courtesies and table manners of Japanese culture. Sandra also had matching little cards with good memorabilia. She had accompanied us the whole Japan trip 😊 Afterwards we went through the streets of the Ginza district and also a few small secret alleys further to the plum wine tasting. There was also a matching accompaniment in the form of umeboshi and a fanzy potato salad Cornet - also very delicious. Then we went to a small restaurant for Tempura delicacies and even had a glass of regional white wine that could quite compete with European wines. The end was then a visit to a mixlology bar, they actually had a specially suitable glass for each cocktail. We definitely had a super nice evening and a fantastic start for our Japan trip. Thank you very much
