  • We were guided around Shinjuku with a local guide on this Tokyo Bar Hopping Night Tour in Shinjuku! It was a fantastic night of drinking and adventuring around to some awesome spots that you won't find in a normal guide book!

      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!

    The shocked reaction of the partipants over the gyoza sauce was gold.
    You just don't expect something as spontaneous as one of the hosts drinking up the gyoza dipping sauce in a hidden night spot video.

    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!
