Quick and exciting taste of Japan's unique flavors

Published on Dec, 2024

I’ve been to Japan many times for work, but this tour was a fun way to try something new with a friend. Booking was simple, and the tour only took 2.5 hours during dinner time, so we still had time for other plans in the evening. Certainly, the food was the highlight of this tour. Tasting horse meat and blow fish was unforgettable and distinctive! The guide was friendly and explained everything well. If you want a quick and adventurous food experience, let's try it.

Cows, Horse and Fish!

Published on Nov, 2024

Shun-san was incredible! We got to eat horse sashimi, beef organs/intestines, fugu blow fish, and deep fried angler fish! Def a must try if you want to try and bunch of new things!

Great adventurous food!

Published on Nov, 2024

Shun-San was great! He took us to try amazing food, especially foods I've never had before!! Sashimi, hot pot, and fried food! No spoilers but all the food was incredibly unique!!

Perfect food tour

Published on Nov, 2024

This food tour was the perfect way to do enjoy local life in Tokyo! We were introduced to a variety of unique and delicious dishes that surprised and delighted us. The highlight was definitely the horse meat – it was a bit intimidating at first, but it was surprisingly tasty. This tour is a must-try for anyone looking to experience another side of Japanese cuisine.

Adventurous Tour

Published on Oct, 2024

Kitamura-san was a great tour guide! The pufferfish and horse meat were fantastic. She was very nice and guided us through the menu and was able to help us answer our questions. She also guided us a little bit around the Ginza district and showed the best spots to eat and shop. Thank you!
