5.00Tadashi was a great tour guide! He was very kind, and answered all of our questions. He brought us to very cool stalls in the market and made sure we had the best experience. In the end, we even got to see a chef break down a fish for sushi which was awesome! The tour was about 2.5 hours in total.

5.00While this is a food tour of the fish markets. Not all the food was fish which was great for the family and those that will try fish but don't want full sashimi experience . There was great array of local produce include including fresh strawberries and wagyu beef skewers and we sampled various flavoured beans and jerky along the tour. The tour finished with great sashimi plate which ticked the box for the sashimi lovers in the group. Our guide Akiko was helpful and knowledgeable. The tour more than met our expectations and I would recommend Akiko and this tour to others coming to Tokyo.
Food & Fish - highly recommend!
