Overview

As a passionate foodie fluent in Japanese, I love dining out and can guide you around the most local bars in downtown Kyoto, as well as explain the cultural background of the drinks. Japanese food can be intimidating. As a chef, I love talking about food and making it easy to understand for visitors.
Note, reservations cannot be made at standing bars, so venues may change depending on availability.

What's included

  • Enjoy two small food dishes per person (one, depending on venue)
  • Enjoy two alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks at each place
