About this experience
Why This Experience is Unique:
・Hosted by a Professional "Curator": Unlike standard guides, your host is an industry insider and spirits buyer. You gain access to deep knowledge and local connections that guidebooks cannot offer.
Access the "Unobtainable": We serve rare Japanese whiskies (like Yamazaki, Hibiki, or limited releases) that are often sold out in retail shops. This is your chance to taste the legends.
True "Omakase" Journey: From the sushi chef's hand-picked seasonal fish to the bar's curated tasting flight, every detail is pre-arranged for quality. No decision fatigue—just pure enjoyment.
VIP Comfort: Forget navigating complex trains or finding maps. With a private taxi transfer included, you move through Tokyo’s night seamlessly like a true VIP.

Step inside a discreet, authentic sushi bar where locals dine. You will be seated at the counter to enjoy a full "Omakase" (Chef's Choice) course featuring the freshest seasonal seafood from the market.
As your curator, I will guide you through sushi etiquette and the story behind each piece. Please note: To prepare your palate for the rare whisky tasting ahead, we enjoy this meal with one complimentary drink. This "cleansing ritual" ensures your senses are sharp for the night's main event.
(Note: I carefully select the specific venue based on availability to guarantee a consistently high-end experience.)
