Overview

Your group only — a relaxed, private evening enjoying Japanese food, sake, and the local bar-hopping culture. Pub crawls — or "nomi aruki" in Japan — are a great way to see a lively side of Kyoto most tourists miss. Kenji, a certified international sake sommelier, will take you to two or three specially selected bars with food and drinks tailored to your preferences. He spent many years at a sake brewery in Hyogo, tasting over 1,000 sakes from Japan and around the world. Explore Japan’s sake, craft beer, and food culture in the city — with Kenji, a knowledgeable local guide. Even if you don't drink alcohol, you're welcome to enjoy Kyoto's cuisine, but all guests must be at least 20 years old. Please inform us of any dietary restrictions when you make your reservation. Group size: 2–4 people

Go to the intersection of Shijo and Karasuma streets. Look for the imposing Mitsui Building on the northeast corner of the intersection. There's a photograph of this building in the photos above. I'll be standing out front. You'll know me by my LINNELL'S backpack.
