This isn’t just a bar-hopping tour — it’s your gateway into the deep, delicious world of Nishinomiya, Japan’s undiscovered sake capital. While most visitors pass through on their way to Osaka or Kobe, this tour invites you to slow down and savor what locals have known for centuries: Nishinomiya is where sake, food, and culture come together in perfect harmony.
Led by a passionate local guide, you’ll visit handpicked bars and izakayas, taste regional dishes, and sample a variety of sake — each with its own story. You’ll learn why this city became Japan’s sake powerhouse, and how its history and geography still shape the flavors found here today.
Far from the tourist trail, this is an intimate, authentic night out — one you’ll remember long after the last sip.
