Sake Tasting in the back alley of Nakano, Tokyo(Lorie & Andrew -NYC,USA)
We did not want to get trapped in the touristy area of Tokyo so our wonderful & fun-filled tour guide, Kenji-san took us to the wonderful & exciting back-alley of Nakano! He was so kind to pick us up from our hotel and educate us as to how to get a metro card to operate the subway system. We loved the lights and the atmosphere of Nakano. This was our first time experiencing standing only izakayas’ which we had so much fun. He brought us to wonderful sake/sashimi places to eat at. The people in the restaurants were so friendly. A couple of regulars at one of the Izakaya’s, were so hospitable that they had also treated us to the last sea urchins on the menu. The best I have had in my life! Kenji brought us to the best sashimi places, according to my husband, the best sashimi he has had by far in Tokyo. We really enjoyed Kenji, thank you for a wonderful experience! It will not be our last. With sincere gratitude, Lorie & Andrew (NYC-USA)
