Eat/Drink like A LOCAL – Taverns & Ramen
What you’ll do
LET’S GET OUT OF THE TOURIST AREA where it is super busy and crowded with people! My tour focuses on Ueno, which is not as crowded as Shibuya and Shinjuku and is less touristy. It is also famous with Japanese foodies for good quality at lower prices. I’m going to take you to popular bars and restaurants for ONLY LOCALS (NO TOURISTS!!) where the staff speaks only Japanese. I will order signature dishes, and we will discuss the food and drink (and you can pepper me with questions). We will visit 3 restaurants/taverns, where you will sample sashimi, grilled fish and skewered meat. You will also have the opportunity to try UNIQUE Japanese alcoholic drinks (5 or more different type of drinks) and you’ll be able to experience what Japanese taverns are like. After visiting these three taverns, we will end the tour at a great Ramen shop that is popular with locals. At the end of the tour, I will take you to the entrance of each train line from the last stop of the tour, depending on where you need to go. Other things to note Pls come meet me with a lot hungry! We are going to have a full-size meal on the day in several different restaurants included ramen!

Some of Japanese whisky you have a taste on that day are OUT OF PRODUCTION due to the sudden populality of Japanese whisky since 2008, so Suntory and Nikka whisky companies cannot keep up with massive demands the days. I know a lot about Japanese whisky and can have all information about Japanese whiskies because all master whisky distillers, famous whisky bloggers and whisky critics in Japan are my friends or at least know each other, so I can tell a secret of what is going on Japanese whisky now.
