Top Nagasaki Sake Tasting

The best evening foodie tour in Nagasaki (if we say so ourselves!). Far from just a night out, this tour takes you on a journey through three different styles of 'izakaya' (Japanese bars) - each with its own character and atmosphere. At every stop, you’ll enjoy a drink, with the first two stops also including delicious dishes or snacks. To make the experience even more authentic, you’ll get to try a unique, quirky payment method just for drinking that originated here in Kyushu - a tradition still loved by locals today. By combining food, drinks and culture, this tour offers a deeper dive into Nagasaki’s vibrant nightlife than a regular pub/bar crawl would.

Enjoy this full day out exploring Nagasaki and its culture and history, including the period around WWII. This is a small group tour, led by your guide, who will take you to several stops along the way. Notable places are Nagasaki Peace Park, Atomic Bomb Museum, Saikai Bridge, Hasami Ceramics, Umegae Sake Brewery, and more. Also enjoy a complimentary Japanese lunch, and alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages throughout the day.

Experience the local side of Sasebo after dark on a private food and bar-hopping tour designed around your tastes. Choose between the convenient Sasebo Station area or the lively downtown district, then visit two local restaurants or izakayas with your guide. Sasebo developed as an important port and naval city, and its evening streets still reflect the character of a place shaped by sailors, travelers, and locals. Rather than following a fixed restaurant list, your guide will select suitable venues based on your food and drink preferences, giving each tour a more personal feel. Spend about 55 minutes at each stop, enjoying the atmosphere and flavors of two different local establishments. A total of ¥3,000 per person for food and drinks is included in the tour price, with ¥1,500 available at each venue. This is an easy and relaxed way to discover Sasebo beyond its daytime sights and experience the city through the places where people eat, drink, and spend their evenings.
