Guided by the charismatic Yoshi, this tour was a great way to try some Japanese cuisine and also immerse yourself in the rich culture and etiquette of Japanese dining. Let me show you my experience.
Joined by fellow travelers from the United States and Germany, we first visited an Izakaya renowned in the area. Yoshi led us upstairs to a private room, setting the stage for an evening of culinary exploration. The session kicked off with everyone choosing a drink – be it sake, famous Japanese beers, whiskey, or lemon sour.
During this dinner, we got to try a variety of dishes, from skewers to sashimi and even the luxurious wagyu beef. Yoshi’s explanations added depth to each bite, turning the meal into an educational experience. It wasn’t just about the food; Yoshi encouraged interaction among us, enhancing our feeling of community. We all introduced each other and shared our stories and plans for our Japan trips.
During this stop, Yoshi clearly explained the nuances of Japanese dining etiquette. From the proper use of chopsticks to the cultural significance of saying “itadakimasu” before a meal, every detail was covered in an engaging manner.
All in all, I think that this Izakaya hopping tour will provide you a great insight into Japanese culture through its vibrant food and drink scene. It’s an experience I recommend to anyone visiting Japan, ideally at the beginning of your trip, to fully appreciate the art of Japanese dining and drinking.
For those planning a trip to Japan, adding Yoshi’s Shinjuku Izakaya hopping tour to your itinerary is a decision you’re unlikely to regret. Explore this vibrant part of Tokyo and experience the true essence of its dining culture through the eyes of a local expert.
