Overview

Mobile ticket
LET'S GET OUT OF THE TOURIST AREA where it's overpriced and crowded with tourists!
I’ll discuss not only Japanese food and drinks but also culture, traditions and history, which will be beneficial for the rest of your stay in Japan for sure!
This tour focuses on Ueno, which is not as crowded as Shibuya, Shinjuku and is less touristy. I'm going to take you to popular taverns and restaurants for ONLY LOCALS (NO TOURISTS!!) where the staff speaks NO ENGLISH.
We will visit several taverns where you will have sashimi, grilled fish and ramen, etc. You will also have the opportunity to try UNIQUE Japanese alcoholic drinks, so you'll be able to experience what Japanese taverns are like. I'll order signature dishes and feel free to ask me any questions.
At the end of tour, I will explain which train station you need to go to, depending on your destination.

5.00Aki was AWESOME! So knowledgeable, fun, and accommodating. The food tour was a lesson in both cuisine and culture, which Aki made exciting and funny throughout. The ramen we ate at the last stop was the best I’ve ever had. We got a fabulous cross section of Japanese cuisine, from “mystery meats” to more known fare like sashimi and miso soup. Our group had some non-drinkers and they enjoyed the food tour as much as those who imbibed! We were a group of 4 and two other couples were on the tour, and Aki did a great job of facilitating convos while also letting us get to know each other, hang out, and of course, eat! Go on this tour!!
Amazing experience!

5.00Aki was a great guide, he is very friendly, fun and knowledgeable about Tokyo. He took us to eat 3 different meals and some snacks. The food was delicious and was a highlight of the trip. Highly recommend if you are interested in trying Japanese food.
