A modern-day Samurai, Sho, who has spent many years drinking his way through Kichijoji,

skillfully wields drinks instead of a sword and guides you on an evening training journey.

An intense story born of a small group of up to five.

The story begins in the nostalgic atmosphere of Harmonica Yokocho.

Blending into the atmosphere of the yokocho and loosening your spirit with a toast, we then move on to the Craft Beer Dojo.

There, you enjoy a diverse selection of Japanese craft beers.

The final stop is artisan sushi.

A quiet moment to complete the night’s story.

Drinks are not served as a fixed set.

At all training grounds, dishes carefully selected by the Samurai are served.

In that moment, you choose the single glass you want to drink most—

this is the practice of pairing.

Which drink will you pair with which dish?

That very hesitation is the joy of the training.

And if you find yourself unsure—

your Samurai Guide will quietly offer a secret word of guidance.

This tour focuses on local, independently owned restaurants and bars. Due to the nature of these venues, the specific places or order may change on the day because of closures, full capacity, or private bookings. In any case, the overall experience, atmosphere, and duration of the tour will remain the same.

The organizer is not responsible for any health issues, injuries, or loss/damage of personal belongings during the tour. Please take care of yourself to fully enjoy the experience.

For the comfort of all participants, please refrain from disruptive behavior. If such behavior continues after a warning, the tour may be terminated without refund.

Sho uses a state-of-the-art translation tool, combined with his samurai spirit and simple English, to create a seamless, heart-to-heart experience.

We serve substantial food dishes at every bar we visit. The menu changes daily depending on the chef and seasonal ingredients, so the types and number of dishes may vary from day to day. If you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions, please let us know in advance. We will do our best to accommodate your needs. Japanese bar food commonly contains: • animal products • seafood-based broth • alcohol in sauces and seasoning Because of this, we are not able to meet vegetarian, vegan, kosher, or halal requirements.

This is not a party tour. This experience is designed for travelers who enjoy quiet conversations, good drinks, and the natural flow of a local night.

This tour may NOT be suitable if you are looking for: • An all-you-can-drink party • A fast-paced bar crawl with many stops • Detailed sightseeing explanations • A highly structured “perfect service” experience • The cheapest way to drink in Tokyo

This experience is for travelers who: • Prefer small groups and meaningful conversations • Enjoy pairing drinks with food, rather than drinking for quantity • Want to experience a local night, not a tourist event • Appreciate spontaneity, silence, and atmosphere • See their guide as a drinking companion, not a tour conductor

The price of this experience reflects what it is not. This is not a mass tour. It does not rely on discounts, drink quotas, or standardized service. Each night is carefully shaped for a very small group, with handpicked venues, reserved seating, and a natural flow that cannot be scaled or repeated. You are not paying for quantity. You are paying for intimacy, trust, and a night that feels personal rather than produced.

This experience is intentionally limited in size and frequency to preserve its quality.

In one sentence: Not a bar crawl, but a local night with Samurai Guide Sho.
