This was the epitome of value for the money! Just book it. I am so full of Great food and high quality sake that I can barely fulfill the 100 character minimum that is required for this review. However, it was so amazing that I have pushed through with the help of the friends that I met on this tour and am now submitting this review for your consideration.

The food was the best i ever had and so so so so much too! We also got to taste a lot of sake and learn fun facts on the way! If you only going to do one thing while in Tokyo, this should be the one.
