Begin your evening by meeting your guide near Ise-shi Station. Head to your first stop, a cozy izakaya or bar, where you’ll be welcomed like a local. Enjoy ¥1,000 worth of food and drinks at each venue, with your guide helping you order and introducing you to the bar’s specialties.

Savor dishes like miso-glazed yakitori, wild boar stew, or freshly made Ise udon, paired with local sake from Mie or a bold glass of barley shochu. As you eat and drink, your guide will share insights into Ise’s drinking culture, history, and traditions.

Visit two to three handpicked izakayas and bars, each with its own story, regulars, and flavors. From long-established neighborhood joints to cozy standing bars hidden between lantern-lit alleyways, each stop is a slice of real Ise nightlife.

Expect narrow counters, warm welcomes, spontaneous chats with locals, and a slow, satisfying pace. The kind of night where a simple drink leads to memorable encounters, where flavors are tied to stories, and where the line between visitor and regular gently fades.
