Step into the lively heart of Tokyo after dark and explore Shinjuku’s izakaya culture like a local. Over the course of an evening, we’ll take you beyond the typical tourist path - from a nostalgic wooden tavern that feels like stepping back in time, to a bustling spot serving seasonal comfort dishes, and finally to a modern skewer-focused bar tucked inside the iconic Omoide Yokocho alleyway.

Guided by a local food expert, you’ll enjoy three unique venues, each offering its own take on Japanese hospitality, flavors, and atmosphere. Between bites and sips, you’ll get a deeper look into how izakayas work, what makes them so integral to Tokyo’s social life, and the unwritten rules locals follow.
