Our tour started in the morning and we visited the market. We learned so much and tried so many things. Jacob our guide was great and spoke perfect English. We had tuna sushi cut fresh in front of us (the best we have ever had). We tried fresh oysters, beef sashimi and many other things. The tour ended with a picnic to enjoy all of the the items we saw in the market. Great way to try many things.
Underwhelming tour

We were kind of underwhelmed by this food tour. We didn't eat anything that blew us away. In particular, I was surprised we didn't eat any sushi. Some of the food we ate actually gave me a terrible stomach ache. It was pretty expensive and I didn't feel it was worth the money.
Fun food tour

The tour with Michael was great. We would have missed many delicious things without this tour. And now we are going through Asakusa with different eyes:)

We had a wonderful time on our food tour guided by Sandra. She was an excellent host who helped us to try some things we might otherwise have missed. She was great with our kids and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her if you are looking for a guide.

All four of us want to give Wesley a whole hearted 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 review after today’s Tokyo food tour! He took us around the Houzouman temple and environs for sweet and savoury snacks and a delicious lunch and hoppi at [can’t remember the name of the restaurant]. A Californian by birth but an enthusiastic almost-permanent resident of Japan, Wesley was truly delightful, generously sharing his insider knowledge of the city with our group. Arigatou gozaimasu from the Petersen family! 🍺🍙🍤🍣🥢 ps. waiting for the group photos he took or I’d attach those here too!

Not an enjoyable, well planned or family friendly experience. We felt uncomfortable many times. Two of our stops were unsuitable for kids - and really, just poor choices (boozy hole in the wall where the workers were drunk, and a smoking restaurant with food that made us sick).
Great Food Tour

The food tour was fabulous. Plenty of variety of flavours and textures. Serena and Michie were friendly and professional. Their commentary was entertaining and informative.
