This was our first time in Japan and our first experience with Wagyu. Hawaii Joe was very knowledgeable about Wagyu and Sake. We learned so much about both thanks to Joe! The food was amazing and the Sake was the best we’ve ever tried (before this tasting, I didn’t even like Sake, but it was an eye opening experience!). The udon soup was also delicious! Joe was such a great host. Thanks for the great time!!!

I was expecting a typical dinner where we were just served a course of wagyu paired with sake, however Tadashi made this a fantastic evening! We got lucky and my husband and I were the only 2 guests at dinner, which made the experience ever better! Over 2.5 hours we laughed, dined, exchanged stories, and learned a lot! I recommend Tadashi to anyone that's looking for an incredibly dedicated and knowledgeable guide. He even shared some of his favorite places with us, which is incredibly kind. Thank you for allowing us to experience this. I would recommend this to everyone coming to Tokyo!
