Summary:
This tour was absolutely amazing! Elly was so fun, kind, and knowledgeable. We learned so much and got to experience an authentic izakaya as well as a more modern version of one. Food and drink were incredible and this is a perfect tour for a more intimate experience since the group isn’t very big; in our case it was just the two of us with Elly which made it feel very special.
