5.00We had a great time being shown around Shinjuku by our guide Chizuru, who was very knowledgeable and fun - we tried delicious food and drinks in four different izakayas and were so full by the end! We ate lots of food that we might not have otherwise tried and it was all so good, and had really interesting and lovely conversations with Chizuru about life in Japan and the areas we were in as well as the food!
Insightful food tour of Shinjuku restaurants.

5.00Insightful tour of the Shinjuku food district visiting places we would not have otherwise found. Haromi took account of our daughters food allergies and my preference not to eat chicken and tailored the your to take account of a very hot day.
A taste of Japan.

5.00We had a perfect food tour with Max. We had everything from Okinawan food to sashimi to A5 Waygu beef at four different stops. Everything was better because Max explained the culture, history, and customs associated with the different foods. He was funny, intelligent, and answered questions well. We also learned about the areas the restaurants were in. A perfect food tour!
