Great Food and Sake at Cool Bars in Central Kyoto - Thanks to Kenji for an excellent food and sake tour. We two really loved it! Kenji took the time to enquire about our preferences and led us to three hidden gems that we would have never discovered on our own. All the food and sake were so delicious, and the lemon sour was good too! We gained valuable insights into Japanese food culture and enjoyed a rich conversation with Kenji. If you're keen on immersing yourself in authentic Kyoto cuisine and drinks, I wholeheartedly recommend Kenji's tour.

Amazing food and sake tour with Kenji, an exceptional guide - Our private tour was phenomenal. Kenji was both entertaining and informative, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. He took us to three hidden stops, where he selected delicious dishes and sake for us, while also providing insightful information about sake, Kyoto, and Japanese culture. I strongly recommend this tour!

In short, we simply had an amazing evening with Kenji-san! - The food and sake pub crawl tour was completely costumized by Kenji to make it possible for me despite a mobility limiting condition I have. We have traveled to Japan many times in the past 15 years and still there are so many cultural things we still don't know about and which are difficult to discover as a plain tourist. If you are truly interested to learn more about the Japanese culture beyond the usual tourist insights, we absolutely recommend Kenji's tour. He enlightened us with new layers of knowledge on food and sake and gave us the feeling that we are talking to an very old friend. No better way to unravel a foreign culture than through a culinary journey :)

Wonderful Pub Crawl - My family and I had the best time going for pub crawls with Kenji San. We went to a total of 3 Izakayas with Kenji San and every single one was overwhelmingly good and delicious. We also learned a lot about sake from Kenji San. If you want to experience the true Japanese food culture , Kenji San is the best person to go with. Trust me, you will not regret your experience !

Excellent food and sake tour (Pub Crawl) with Kenji - I joined Kenji's Pub Crawl and had a fantastic experience. We started at a cool standing sake bar in the heart of Kyoto, where we began with a sake tasting session. Kenji was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain his recommendations, the characteristics of each sake, and even how sake is made. The snacks paired with the sake were delicious, and I learned a lot about sake pairing too. For our second stop, we headed to another hidden gem in the center of Kyoto. It was a quaint izakaya serving superb dishes and soba, nestled in a traditional machiya townhouse that you might easily overlook while strolling around. This place had a charming atmosphere, with various types of sake and delicious dishes to enjoy. The authentic feel of the machiya added to the allure of the experience. I didn't consider myself a big fan of sake before, but participating in this tour expanded my knowledge and allowed me to delve into the deep world of Kyoto. It was truly enjoyable, and I would love to join again when I visit Kyoto in the future!

We had a wonderful time enjoying delicious sake and meals with Kenji's pub crawl! - Kenji was knowledgeable about sake, and we had the opportunity to explore a variety of Japanese sake. Additionally, he led us to charming establishments, renovated from traditional machiya houses, creating an atmospheric setting for a fantastic experience. Not only did we savor a diverse range of sake, but also had the chance to enjoy other beverages like Japan's craft beers. I highly recommend this tour for those who want to indulge in Kyoto's sake and cuisine or anyone seeking a delightful time in cozy, atmospheric establishments in central Kyoto!

Excellent tour with an experienced Sake Sommelier - This tour was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Japan. We spent three hours learning about the art of Sake, and our guide Kenji was happy to share his expertise. The tastings were unique and nuanced, featuring a variety of unpasteurized sake you can only find fresh from the tap in Japan. It opened our eyes to a whole new world of flavors! Kanji picked out a few very special "secret" bars that we enjoyed together, with delicious food to go along with every sip. We walked the dark streets of Kyoto and enjoyed hours of rich conversation. We'd recommend this tour to anyone that is curious about Sake, interested in touring Kyoto with a private guide, or just looking for a great conversation with a local expert. Thank you Kenji!
