Description

Walking through the busy streets of Shinjuku heading straight for Omoide Yokocho (literally “Memory Lane”) is our first stop. Omoide Yokocho is rightfully named as it is littered with rustic food stalls and bars from the 1950s. Many of these spots still stay true to their roots, serving roasted giblets with beef and pork, which was a staple when food was scarce after World War II. We will have a drink and some skewers in one of the most charming parts of Tokyo. From there we will make our way to Kabukicho, Asia’s largest, yet safest, red light district. Learn more about this very famous area as your guide explains to you Japanese izakayas, the amazing world of karaokes and Robot restaurant as well as other hidden gems of Kabukicho. You will enjoy two delicious famous foods. First, Tonkotsu Ramen with a pork broth simmered for hours and hours delivering a very creamy, savoury taste! We will also explain the history, and manners for eating different types of ramen. Next, you will sample some very local sushi that you will surely enjoy! We will end our tour with a ramble through the back drinking alleys at Golden Gai where you can continue on and choose the cozy bar of your choice.
