We loved Ryu! - Had a really great time with our guide Ryu. The places he took us too were interesting and we would not have found them on our own. We are really glad we had this experience with such a cool, native, guide. He was engaging, friendly, entertained us, and was just a really cool guy!

Convenient and easy... - Convenient and easy meeting place near the iconic train exhibit. Our guide, Ryu, was a pleasure, and he was very well spoken in English! Loved eating the gyoza, udon, skewers, and dessert in an area where the local population lives—away from the common tourist paths! It gives you a better understanding of the local lifestyle which is important to me as a visitor! Thank you, Ryu!

Food Tour - We had a great time on this food tour. Ryu was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food in Tokyo. It’s obvious that Ryu knew the area and the food provided. We especially like the fresh udon noodles and dumplings. Sweet treat was a nice conclusion of the tour.

A DELICIOUS EXPERIENCE IN TOKYO FOOD TASTING - Whether you are new to Japan and would like an introduction to Japanese food, or a more experienced traveller who would like to explore new eating places, this tour is an option you should consider. Our host Ryu sent us straightforward instructions of where to meet him, and he was punctual in arriving. During the two hours, we did a bit of walking around Shimbashi but most of the time was dedicated to eating the wonderful food on offer. The dumplings, ramen, and skewers were absolutely delicious. The restaurants Ryu chose were cosy and welcoming, and not too loud which allowed for convivial conversation. The quantity of food was abundant resulting in full stomachs, which meant we took sweets back to the hotel room. Ryu showed great local knowledge, answering our questions about Tokyo and the food we were eating. At the end, he walked us back to the train station and made sure we knew which train to catch to get back to our hotel. Overall, a wonderful evening.

Great guide and great food! - Ryu was an excellent guide and the food at each stop was delicious and plentiful and at non-touristy locations! Ryu provided a lot of interesting information about the food and Japanese customs. We highly recommend this tour!

What a wonderful tour. ... - What a wonderful tour. Our guide was very friendly and engaging. He had everything organized and we just walked into each restaurant and enjoyed the food. All the places were within a few blocks of each other and places we would not have gone to on our own. This was a huge highlight of our trip
