    "Our experience on the Pontocho Food Tour with Noboru was absolutely fantastic. It was one of the best food tours I have ever been on. Noboru started the tour with a wonderful tour around Gion, which set the perfect stage for our culinary adventure. Throughout the tour, we indulged in a wide array of delicious foods, including yakitori, sweet fish, soba noodles, pickled plums in various preparations, and a flavorful broth made with local spices. One of the highlights was visiting an Izakaya, where we got a true taste of Japanese pub culture. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Japanese cuisine and immerse themselves in the local food scene. Noboru's expertise and passion for food truly made this tour a memorable and authentic experience.
