About This Tour
Want to experience the best that Sendai has to offer at night? Our tours will take you into the deepest heart of Sendai and beyond. Choose your own adventure. Sushi, sake, and revelry? The finest seasonal fruit cocktails? A cursed snack that never shows in online searches? Little 7-seater hole-in-the-wall mom-and-pop izakaya? Regional culinary treasures? Everything is on the menu. What makes us unique: We have taste. You're in Japan, you're excited, and you'll have fun no matter where you go. But we've been eating and drinking in Sendai for years. We'll only take you to the few venues that we're personally in love with ourselves. Close relationships with venues. Japan has a problem with over-tourism. We work such that you get the best possible experience while keeping in harmony with the establishments on our tours. Exclusive Access. We take you to legendary venues that are closed to tourists, don't show up on maps, and are members-only. No other tours of Sendai offer this.
