    Would you like to go on a bar hopping tour? Or perhaps a guided tour through Kyoto? Let us know what tours you'd like to attend below!

      Kyoto and/or japaneese sweets tours would be great! But I often travel solo and getting those tours reservation to work out is hard (ie so that there's enough people/ a place left).
      Also a Sarah guided tour of the best sauces and vinegars would be interesting :D

      Before watching this video, I don't think I would have considered a guided tour at all.
      But after watching this clip, I would definitely give it a go with this company. And not just for a bar hopping tour (I will check out their link later).
      This looks absolutely perfect: a small and private group, the safety of being guided by a local... Plus: Tommy is well informed, sharing interesting facts. He is also a fun person with a sense of humour, AND his English language skills are impressive!

      I don't think it's any worse than scooping up the last bit of gravy on the plate even when the potatoes are gone. Or getting the last of the red sauce when noodles are eaten. Just cos it's a dipping sauce doesn't make it less edible. Better than wasting the gyoza sauce dumping it in the drain!

    My first experience with ‘sake’ (nihonshu) was at a flat-rate tasting session hosted by a local brewery. Lots of fun. After a couple of hours drinking, chatting and learning about different varieties of sake, I realized it was time to leave and catch my last train home. Problem: could barely stand up. (Did I really drink that much??)
    Let’s just say it was a loooong walk home. (That stuff is way strong than it tastes!)

You all looked like you had so much fun and I loved the way the last bar was able to describe the different styles and places that different sake was made. I'm not sure I like the salt in vinegar taste as much as Sarah does, when she was describing the gyoza sauce but more power to her for being brave enough to drink it because I'm sure it was good to her. I know I would do the same if I really liked the flavor. Thank you all so much for sharing!

    Highly recommended for tour guide for first timers...Once you get a good groove of what you like and have visited japan a few times I would recommend going it solo...still even then, if you want to dig deep to new locations find a friend who knows or tour guides...the problem is Japan has a lot of tour guide programs and many of them suck major asshole and rip you off and complaining wont get you any where cuz your a foreigner. However, This dude here is A+ material this guys loves his damn job and loves sharing his knowledge. I would travel with this guy anytime in japan. This company looks really good. Although a bit Sus on his drinking habit lol this dude might just be down to get fukin drunk all the time LMAO, which is whatever as long as he can do his job and I dont have to worry about him.
