Key Information
Description
Embark on a journey through the enchanting streets of Tokyo with our retro Shibuya food tour — an exclusive nightlife adventure that unveils the hidden gems locals have cherished for decades. This is Shibuya beyond the tourist hotspot: a nostalgic dive into the city's past, where each stop is a page from the rich history book of this vibrant district. Our adventure begins at a classic “tachinomi,” a standing bar that typifies the Tokyo nightlife for many office workers. These unassuming spots, historically found near train stations and in working-class areas, were the havens where salarymen unwound after a long day. Let's kanpai (toast) and kick off the evening in true local style. As we venture deeper into the back streets, the aroma of authentic Japanese ramen beckons. Step into a ramen shop with over 60 years of history, a local favorite immortalized in a Japanese manga. Please note that on days when this shop is closed, we've got a stellar backup spot serving incredible regional ramen. Wander along hidden alleyways to discover our secret izakaya wonderland — a retro pub where your guide will introduce you to the best local dishes and drinks. Immerse yourself in a bygone era with a unique atmosphere that sets the stage for an unforgettable experience. Choose your sake, beer, or opt for special mixed drinks (non-alcoholic alternatives are also available) before we wrap up the evening with a sweet surprise dessert experience. Your inner child is in for a treat, but we won't spill the details here — we want it to be a delightful surprise. Join us on this journey through Shibuya's retro charm, where every bite and sip is a step back in time. Cheers to an evening you won't soon forget!
