Highlights
  • Indulge in Nagoya’s renowned cuisine at a lively izakaya, featuring local specialties like miso kushikatsu and tebasaki

Nagoya is famous for its bold, umami-rich cuisine, particularly its use of Hatcho miso, a deep, savory miso paste that enhances many of the region’s signature dishes. On this tour, you’ll enjoy a classic Nagoya-style meal, featuring tebasaki (seasoned chicken wings), miso oden (vegetables and some other ingredients stewed in a rich miso broth), and seared Hida beef sushi, at a popular local izakaya known for its wide selection of Nagoya specialties and casual, welcoming atmosphere.

After dinner, step into an authentic Japanese snack bar, an intimate and lively drinking spot often frequented by locals. Unlike typical bars, snack bars offer a uniquely social experience, where guests enjoy drinks, conversation, and karaoke in a cozy setting. These hidden venues can be difficult for first-time visitors to enter, but this tour grants you exclusive access to experience Japan’s nightlife culture like a local.

Enjoy an evening of great food, drinks, and lively karaoke, with a friendly Mama-san (host) ensuring a warm and fun atmosphere. Whether you’re a food lover, cultural explorer, or just looking for a unique night out, this tour offers an unforgettable taste of Nagoya’s food scene and social traditions.
