3.00While we were able to experience two restaurants that we never would have. The itinerary said three, but we only went two places. The guide barely Spoke English so we did not get any information regarding Tokyo. She also made a point of telling us that the Tip was not included. We had a pancake type of item which was interesting and the second restaurant we each got one prawn and one piece of Chicken Karage. Would not recommend.

5.00This was a great way to get to sample some local food in places not typically visited by tourists. The food we had was excellent and the guide on our tour (Yuki) was too. It was a very enjoyable evening.
Fun and delicious!
