5.00Dai was our tour guide and he was fantastic! Super knowledgeable, shared information about the Shinjuku area in addition to the food, and had perfect English. This was our last night in Japan, and Dai was by far our best tour guide we had on the whole trip. There was a variety of food options. We were definitely full by the end of the tour.
Great tour

5.00The guide Naruto was amazing. Je is very knowledgable and speaks impeccable English. Hsving lived or worked in many countries gives Naruto a deep understanding of culture. The food on the tour was terrific. The 7 or so vearieties of sashimi was extraordinary - fresh and and quite filling. Since I didn't drink the alcohol I can't comment first hand but the group seemed to enjoy the drinks. Naruto spoke knowingly about Shinjuko and took us to a narrow alley and a stret where the Yakuza reigned. I highly recommend this tour and Naruto as the guide,
Good guide, doubtful food.

3.00The guide was very knowledgeable and guided well in fluent English. But I wasn't impressed with the food that was served. Several of the dishes felt simple and cheap, no real hit. However, the guide nevertheless lifted the experience of the tour.
