The dinner and tour with Isseki and his friend Sako was the highlight of our day!
We had a long day wandering around the imperial palace, exploring gardens and seeing areas nearby. And by the time the evening tour came around our feet hurt and we were tired. But when we sat down at the Izakaya with our hosts, we forgot the pain in our feet and we were awakened with their joy, hospitality, and humor.
It is an amazingly interactive experience and is not at all the typical touristy vibe. You meet at a truly local bar and have a really cool and interactive food experience.
It was so lovely to get to know them and more about Shinkjuku when walking around the area with them after dinner. They were really knowledgeable and made it all so fun and entertaining!
Definitely would recommend to anyone who wants a taste of the authentic Izakaya experience ❤️
