• Pub crawls – or “nomi aruki,” as we call them in Japan – are an excellent way to see a side of Kyoto that tourists usually miss.
• Your guide, Kenji, spent many years working at a sake brewery in Hyogo. His duties included the pleasure of tasting over 1,000 sakes from breweries in Japan – and around the world.
• Kenji will take you to two or three special bars with delicious food and drinks tailored to your individual preferences. Explore Kyoto's sake, craft beer, and food culture with Kenji, a certified international sake sommelier, right in the heart of Kyoto!
• Even if you don't consume alcohol, you're welcome to enjoy Kyoto's delicious cuisine with us, but all guests on the tour need to be at least 20 years old.
• It's very important that we know about any dietary restrictions you might have. Please let us know when you make your reservation.
• Group size: 2 - 4 people

Experience Kyoto's cuisine, culture, and sake like an insider at a "machiya izakaya" (a bar restaurant specializing in drinks and small dishes, set in a traditional Kyoto townhouse). Rub elbows with locals from Kyoto at one of their favorite neighborhood "standing bars." Savor high-quality sake and Japanese craft beer at venues that specialize in them. For each tour, the selection of venues (2 - 3 in total) will be determined by your own tastes and preferences.
