Authentic Shinjuku Food & Drink Crawl with Yoshi

Have you ever wanted to truly immerse yourself in the local scene, eating and drinking as if you were a local in “Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane aka Piss Alley” or “Golden Gai(nostalgic bar district)”? This is actually possible only with this tour from Japan Local Experience!　 Shinjuku ward is home to approximately 5,000 dining venues. Yoshi, who has meticulously explored every izakaya (tavern) and bar in the area, will guide you to only the most carefully curated spots. This tour is made possible by Yoshi’s strong trust and connections with the owners of these izakayas and bars. Both Omoide Yokocho and Golden Gai are incredibly charming places, and just walking through them is a missed opportunity in my opinion. You’ll also explore Kabukicho, Asia’s premier nightlife district. Immerse yourself in its uniquely vibrant and chaotic atmosphere. Since you’ve come all this way, I want you to experience it fully. Over 8000 guests have participated in this tour, which has received high praise for six years as a “once-in-a-lifetime experience!.

Sake, Japanese Rice Wine, is very unique Japanese traditional liquor like no other in the world. Now I am a very much of fanatic & enjoy it little more than I should lol. But, to be honest, my first Sake experience was not that great. I will tell you all about it when I see ya! Long story short, my opinion was completely overturned when I was introduced to GREAT SAKE in Japan. It was very fragrant & fruity. Easy to drink & flowery in the aftertaste. This experience made me very passionate about sharing Sake experience with my friends who already like/love sake and want to taste more, and also for those who may have had a rough start like I did. lol
