Overview

A modern-day Samurai named Sho, who has spent many years drinking his way through Kichijoji, skillfully wields drinks instead of a sword and invites you on an evening training journey, carried out in a small group limited to a maximum of five guests.

The story begins in the nostalgic atmosphere of Harmonica Yokocho.
Blending into the atmosphere of the yokocho and loosening your spirit with a toast, we then move on to the Craft Beer Dojo.
There, you enjoy a diverse selection of Japanese craft beers.
The final stop is artisan sushi.
A quiet moment to complete the night’s story.

Drinks are not served as a fixed set.
At each training ground, carefully selected dishes chosen by the Samurai are served.
In that moment, you choose the single glass you want to drink most—
this is the practice of pairing.

Which drink will you pair with which dish?
That very hesitation is the joy of the training.

And if you find yourself unsure—
your Samurai Guide will quietly offer a secret word of guidance.

Activity itinerary

Kichijōji Station

Meet the Samurai and Begin Your Training — Samurai Training Night in Kichijoji Meeting Point: In front of Baskin-Robbins, JR Kichijoji Station North Exit. A man dressed in an indigo haori appears — a modern-day samurai-style guide named Sho. What begins under his guidance is more than just a bar-hopping tour. It’s a local Tokyo experience story, guided by Samurai Guide Sho.

Hamonika Yokocho Kichijoji

The First Training: Become One with the Nostalgic Yokocho The training begins with a kanpai in a retro bar inside Harmonica Yokocho. This bar warmly welcomes visitors with not only Shogun-class Japanese whisky, but also beer, wine, sake, and every drink you could wish for. Our seats (4 seats + standing) are reserved, offering the perfect view to take in the atmosphere of the yokocho. After absorbing the spirit of the alley at the first stop, we shall set off for the next training — the next bar.

Kichijoji

The Second Training: The Craft Beer Dojo Welcome to the dojo of fermentation. In this training, you will pursue the perfect balance of aroma and bitterness while tasting Japanese craft beer on draft. Here, we learn the virtues of patience and harmony.
