Guiding food lovers here since 2015, our friendly local guide helps you skip the stress of the crowds and takes you straight to the best hidden spots that regular tourists always miss.
Meet your guide at the iconic Tsukiji Honganji Temple. Instead of wandering aimlessly through endless stalls, your guide takes you directly to top shops selling high-quality produce and kitchenware. As you walk, your guide shares stories of how this area survived World War II and translates lively local chat.

1. Tamagoyaki (Sweet Japanese omelet)

5.00Super fun food tasting tour in the fish market! Akira helped us understand local options and flavors and encouraged us to go off script whenever we saw another food of interest. The sashimi prep stop was very cool, and the black pepper cola was delicious. Thanks for a great time!
Excellent food and guidance through the market

5.00It was absolutely fantastic! The fish market and the food was amazing. We went early so it was just my family and it was perfect! The cost was amazing and our tour guide Souta knew everything we asked him. One of the best tours I’ve ever taken, it was only a couple of hours which was good for the other things we were doing in the day. I’m going to recommend this tour to all of my friends!
The walk of food and fun!
