Description

Kobe is not a famous for tourists in Japan. So you can enjoy a travel dIfferent from Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. I take you 3 bars that you can not find alone, and you can experience that you have not tried many things before. Moreover those are bars with a unique style that can only be found in Japan. The first bar is "Tachinomiya" at near a railway alley. We have to drink and eat without seats, `STANDING`. :) The second bar is "Izakaya", the most popilar bar style of special atmosphere in Japan. There are rare Beer, Shochu or Awamori (Japanese distilled spirits). The third bar is Koryoriya which a Sake Sommelier do hospitality. They offer special and the most recommended Japanese Sake of the day. And you can try Japanese home made cuisines. Those are only known to local persons. All of those are my favorite and recommendation because there are few tourists come for no English menu. In particular, Koryoriya is unknown to tourists. So I belive you can make Special memories.

Itinerary

180 min

You experience 3 Hidden Bars Hopping at center of Kobe Sannomiya. Those are only known to local business persons. All of those are my favorite and recommendation because there are few foreign tourists come for no English menu. I take you to "Tachinomiya" (Japanese Standing drinkng bar) , "Izakaya" (Japanese typical bar and restaurant) and "Koryoriya" with a Japanese Sake(Rice wine) Sommelier. Those are between 5 minutes on foot. I will order my favorite dishes of the day, but if you would like something to eat, let me know that. Let's have fun to drink with Japanese local cuisines. Other things to note The basic plan is including having some Japanese dishes and Beer, Sake, Shochu, Awamori, Chuhai (Most popular cocktail with some flavor in Japan), and etc. If you want to have something or you can not have something , you can order other things. However, additional charge may be required. We walk between bar and bar. You need to wear clothes adapted to the weather and temperature.

Great variety of local fare with a kind and funny host

Tammy did a great job curating a variety of local flair. In every one of the 3 locations it was a different style food, drink and environment. From a local bar with a unique flair on cashu to a "standing bar" filled with post-workday locals eating suchi to a curated sake. Certainly a way to get away from a tourist trap and experience a variety quickly. On a logistics and leder note, Tammy was very proactive with instructions, accommodating to my day-of booking, and entertained my questions about Japanese culture all evening. He even taught me how to say happy birthday in Japanese to the sake sommelier!

A Beautiful Kobe Culinary Odyssey

This was a remarkable tour. Tammy was such a sensational host, and it didn't take long for me to feel comfortable even though it was just the two of us. Tammy introduced me to three glorious eating spots hidden around Sannomiya Station, and I made a few other associates along the way through Tammy. I was very happy I booked this trip, and would recommend it to anyone that wants a glimpse into what a fine Kobe culinary experience feels like. A++.

Perfect tour for when you want the Kobe experience without knowing Japanese

As a last-minute booking for a solo trip, I was a little nervous. Even more when I realized it was just the guide and I. But I had a great time visiting bars in Kobe that I would have never found on my own. If you don't speak/read japanese, I highly recommend this tour to find some great bars and restaurants in Kobe✨️
