★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 159 reviews · from $39Our pick

Taste eight Japanese sakes with snacks in a small Kabukicho bar, learning about flavors, temperatures, pairings, and amazake.

“We came to hope to learn more about sake. Indeed, we had 8 sakes and our host (not a Japanese) was nice, but we didn’t learn as much as we were expecting and wishing for. Very little sake-related information came out of each degustation. In addition, we didn’t enjoy the place and the snacks at all.”

Then we sang our hearts out at a local karaoke bar. We made some new friends from Australia and New Zealand. If you get the chance to take this fun tour with Yoko, do it!”
