Ginza Bar Hopping and Whiskey Tasting
This immersive Ginza bar-hopping experience celebrates Japanese flavors through inventive tea-based cocktails, umeshu pairings, and a curated Japanese whiskey tasting—offering a flavorful journey into Tokyo’s refined nightlife.
This unique Ginza bar-hopping tour is designed to highlight the depth and diversity of Japanese taste through an evening of expertly crafted drinks and curated pairings in some of the city’s most distinctive bars.
We begin at a pioneering cocktail bar that uses advanced techniques like centrifugal separation, vacuum distillation, and sous-vide infusion to transform traditional ingredients into innovative creations. Their specialty is “Teatails”—artfully crafted cocktails based on premium Japanese tea leaves. These drinks are bold, elegant, and completely unique to this venue, offering a fresh interpretation of Japanese flavor.
The next stop invites you to discover the versatility of umeshu (Japanese plum wine) through a carefully selected tasting, each paired with a small seasonal dish that enhances and complements the drink’s profile. The combinations reflect a balance of sweet, tart, and umami—hallmarks of Japanese culinary sensibility.
To finish, we visit a whiskey bar where you'll enjoy a guided tasting of four Japanese whiskeys, chosen from a collection of 22 distinct varieties. Whether smooth, smoky, or floral, each pour tells a story of regional craftsmanship and flavor tradition, giving you a true sense of the artistry behind Japan’s internationally celebrated whiskey culture.
While the experience ends in Ginza, you're welcome to stay out and continue exploring. Feel free to enjoy additional drinks at your own pace—just note that extra orders are not included in the tour price.
This is more than just an evening out—it's a flavorful immersion into local Japanese culture, tradition, and innovation, told through every sip.
