Guided Izakaya Tour in Sendai
Get behind the scenes of Sendai's food and drink scene with a guided tour through the atmospheric bar and izakaya-lined alleyways of the city.
Japan is full of hidden gem izakaya restaurants and hole-in-the-wall bars, often hidden down little alleys and covered by noren curtains, which can make them intimidating for a visitor to enter. On this tour of the back-alley bars of Sendai, join a local English-speaking tour guide and discover some of the best spots in town! The hundreds of establishments lining the historic covered arcade of Iroha-yokocho have barely changed since opening some 70 years ago.
On this tour, you'll visit several unique izakaya where you can enjoy a drink and plate of tasty local food, such as grilled skewers and gyoza dumplings. With the help of your guide you can chat with the regulars and bar owners, and pick up some useful izakaya phrases.
