Relaxed evening - Pretty simple laid back affair but the guide Rie really did the hard yards to elevate the whole experience. Not so much a tour as a local taking you out and helping with language and culture barrier. 3 stops total, dinner, dessert and some drinks. Was a great way to spend the evening

Asakusa - Yui and Yuko were so kind and welcoming. It ended up being just me on the tour so it felt like I got to hang out with a local and get taken to some of their favorite restaurants. Thank you Yui for being so informative and kind!

Night out in Asakusa - I took this tour on my first full day in Japan and it was the perfect introduction to Japanese food and culture. Yui was a great guide! She explained the history of the area and shared so much helpful information about the food and culture in Japan. The food was delicious and the sake bar had a great selection with helpful staff.

Highly recommend this food tour! - Ai was the perfect guide! This was our family’s first trip to Japan and she helped make it so special. We were excited to try Japanese food but had no idea where to go. Ai was knowledgeable, kept a great pace for our family, introduced us to new favorite foods and places we would never have found on our own, and gave us confidence to try other new foods in Tokyo. Highly recommend and would go on any tour with her again. Thank you Ai!
