Yum! Great food adventure with a fun guide - Fun opportunity to learn more about Japanese culture, history and food with Iyaka as our engaging guide. Helped us find things we wouldn’t have tried in our own

Fantastic experience for a foodie with a wonderful guide. - The whole experience was set at a really nice pace. We didn’t rush through anything and our guide took time to provide insight and answer our questions. She was very kind and friendly and made us all feel welcome. I like that it was a small group, so the experience was really individualised. Would definitely recommend.
