Stroll beneath glowing red lanterns and neon signs as the scent of sizzling skewers and freshly grilled seafood fills the air. Your guide will take you back in time to the Showa era, where cozy izakaya (Japanese pubs) offer an authentic taste of local life.
Savor regional specialties from across Japan, from perfectly crisp rice crackers made with a secret recipe dating back over 200 years to delicious dishes at hidden gems only locals know. Listen to the hum of lively conversations, and let the unique ambiance of each stop envelop you

We really enjoyed the tour. Wesley is a great guide, very friendly, knowledgable, and fun. The food stops were so much more than tasting the delicious food, so interesting to learn about the stories of the dishes coming to the table, the places, and their origins. Experiencing the tea tasting at a small tea shop made us aware that appreciation of the tea culture needs to be nurtured, especially among the younger generations. Overall it was a great experience. We highly recommend the tour!

We really enjoyed our Tokyo food tour with Vasilii. He took us to some great and unique places. Vasilii was knowledgeable about the food, culture, sights, and history of the area which really enhanced our enjoyment of the tour.

My family of 8 arrived in Tokyo about 24 hours before this tour began. We are a group of 3 generations with varied food preferences and walking paces. Ully did a great job of leading (herding?) us from place to place with grace and humor. We learned a lot, and we ate a lot of new and delicious foods. We highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in walking through a neighborhood and tasting food at places you might never find on your own. When else would we have tried Okinawan style food and have heard a folk song from Okinawa sung by the restaurant owner at the conclusion of our meal??? Also, our guide Ully spoke wonderful English, and she knows firsthand about the culture and history of Japan. She interspersed facts and stories as we ate and talked, it almost felt like a mobile dinner party by the end of the evening.

We met at the clock tower with just another couple joining our group. Ema took us to places we would never have found or even if we came across them would have felt intimidated entering. Ema introduced us to the real Tokyo. Ema was very approachable, friendly, knowledgeable and to be honest just very good company.

As this was our first visit to Japan, our travel agent booked this food tour for us and as such, I am writing the review on the basis of not k owing how much it cost. We met our guide at the appointed time and very soon our ‘fellow foodies’ were gathered. One was a web adviser on Japan holidays and the other a travel agent from the Philippines. Our guide was Sandra, originally from Barcelona, but now residing in Japan. Although not a local, Sandra had clearly done her homework, and came across as being quite knowledgeable about Japan, so as well as some culinary knowledge she was able to impart interesting information about the Tokyo area. We stopped at an interesting variety of places, but upon counting back there were 5 stops, one of which was to see a demo of green tee being brewed and another was to see a bakery place at which we were just provided with some history followed by a dry biscuit with the company logo on it. 2 beers or ‘local’ drinks were provided. We enjoyed the overall experience and guide Sandra was good but on writing the review and looking up the price….£186 per person, I was shocked and am unable to recommend as good value.
