5.00Good food good company. Went to 4 restaurants, 2 sit down and 2 stand up. The sit downs were small plates of tuna, chicken and seafood. The stand ups were pork cutlets and desert. All good food.

5.00We had the best time! Our guide Peter was a young man from the USA who now lives and works in Japan. He was highly informative about his own experiences as well as the local area, people and food. He kept a respectful pace for those in our group who were not fast walkers. He had all sorts of little nuggets of information that he shared with us on top of the great food we got to try. We were all impressed with the variety, amount and flavour of everything we tried. One picky eater in our group tried everything and enjoyed it all. Great tour and highly recommend!
Had a great time

4.00Our guide was amazing and Japan has amazing food spots. We were a little disappointed that the food wasn’t as good. We had taken this exact food tour 2 years ago and they substituted two locations for sub par food places. We were so looking forward to the great restaurants we had before. I’m sure they change up locations but 1 place was not worth going to at all. Served a seaweed salad, sweet potato patty, tofu and something else. All the food at that location was, meh. The others were good to great. Again, the guide was 6 out of 5 stars, and we ultimately had a blast with all the people on the tour! Alcohol helps! ;)
