A fun and filling evening in Ginza! - Jacob was a great tour guide, friendly and informative. We enjoyed the foods, especially the variety at the first isakaya, and the location and atmosphere was great! Dessert was also special, and we learned a lot about tea in between!

Our food tour - We really enjoyed the food tour with Michie. We gained an insight into Japanese culture and ate food that most tourists don't get to see. It was very varied and we really enjoyed it. It is more than worth the price and is made all the more enjoyable by Michie's friendly company. We can recommend it to anyone who wants to experience something really special on their trip to Tokyo.

Truly awesome - we loved it! Great insight, food and a side of Tokyo we wouldn't have seen otherwise. - We had a fantastic time! Our guide, Yappy, was excellent - really fun to be with and full of interesting information. We were eight in total and he managed to keep four teenagers rapt with attention which is no small feat. I would not hesitate to recommend the tour.

Knowledgeable guides, fun atmosphere, and great food! - Yappy and Hana were absolutely amazing! They taught us everything from the origins of traditional dishes, history of each restaurant and it’s area, Japanese food manners and phrases, and much more. They also accommodated my husband’s shellfish allergy to ensure he could indulge at every stop. We truly were showed some of Tokyo’s best hidden gems and would do this tour again any day!

Amazing Authentic Japanese Ingredients - My wife and I booked the Flavors of Japan Food Tour in Toyko in late May of 2023 and we had an excellent time with Satoko! Some things were familiar to us and some weren't but it was amazing to be able to try so many authentic Japanese ingredients all within a few blocks. Everything we ate was amazing and we left the tour feeling very full, so have a very light breakfast beforehand.

Tokyo Food tour great fun and great food - The tour was excellent and very informative. The tour guide, Josh, was extremely helpful not only on the tour but in giving us tips for navigating Tokyo. My daughter , 15, was not quite as interested, however still loved the tips for navigating the city. For adults interested in learning Japanese cuisine this is a perfect tour. The food was great too.

"Bite & Delight" - A food restaurant is a place where people gather to enjoy freshly prepared meals, snacks, and beverages. Restaurants offer a variety of cuisines, from local favorites to international dishes, catering to diverse tastes and preferences. The atmosphere, service, and quality of food play a major role in creating a memorable dining experience. Whether it's a casual eatery, a fine dining establishment, or a fast-food chain, restaurants provide convenience, comfort, and social interaction. Many restaurants also focus on presentation, cleanliness, and customer satisfaction. With evolving trends, some embrace eco-friendly practices, digital ordering, and unique menus to attract and retain loyal customers.

Oh well..... - We took the Flavors of Japan walking tour in September. While our guide was pleasant and provided a history of the area as well as information on the sites we visited which included a Shintu shrine, the tour was lacking in the variety of Japanese foods. This was my husband's first visit to Japan and his first taste of true Japanese cuisine. I was hoping that he would have a more robust culinary experience especially for the price! In general, we were pleased with what was served but there were no dumplings, egg rolls or sushi for example. While these are the basics so to speak, it was disappointing not to have them included. We have participated in a number of food tours around the world and in comparison, this one was mediocre at best.
