Great Experience, Molly 10/10 - Was very excited for our foodie tour, and what an amazing experience! If you’re lucky enough to get Molly, she was an excellent guide. So friendly and full of knowledge about the area. She took us through beautiful side streets and food/bar areas that we would never think to walk down. Absolutely wonderful. The food and sushi was fresher and more flavorful than I’ve ever had. The Wagyu literally melted in your mouth. Couldn’t stop raving about how enjoyable our food was. Molly went above and beyond explaining the dishes, the cuts of meat and the flavors we would experience. I recommend Molly 10 out of 10 A+ Molly made our food tour such a memberable experience. Job well done.

Great experience of the cuisine - It was great to experience Japanese cuisine and to learn about some of the history of the area like memory lane etc. We also went for a short tour past some of the 200+ bars in a really small section of Shinjuku.

Great foodie tour of Tokyo - Our tour guide Mayu was great. She grew up in Tokyo so was very knowledgeable about the area, as well as being very personable and accommodating. She took photos for us and shared things about Tokyo and about life in Japan that only a person who grew up here would know. I would highly recommend this tour for any traveler who wants to experience great food and who wants to gain a small insight into the life of a local.

Wonderful experience!! - My nephew and I had a wonderful evening eating delicious treats and learning about Japanese food and culture with Tadashi! He was so kind to thoughtfully answer all our food questions and help us with other questions we had about our stay in Tokyo. We got to have experiences and try restaurants that we would not have found without this tour and his expertise!
