Top Nagasaki Wine, Beer & Spirits

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.
