A wonderfully authentic taste of everyday Tokyo life.

Rub shoulders with local regulars as you enjoy Japanese drinks and classic bar snacks in a lively, wonderfully unpretentious atmosphere. Discover the unique customs of Tokyo's old-school drinking culture, where standing shoulder to shoulder, sharing a few drinks and enjoying simple, delicious food is all part of the experience. A fascinating glimpse into everyday Japanese life that most visitors never get to see.

Continue through Akabane's lively backstreets to Silk Road, a colourful stretch of tiny restaurants and local drinking spots.

A delicious finale to your journey through Tokyo's diverse food culture.

Finish your adventure with a leisurely stroll through Akabane's atmospheric backstreets, passing glowing lanterns, tiny bars and bustling neighbourhood restaurants.
