A great visit to many food shops to try out Japanese Cuisine.

Sae was very informative and we tasted many different Japanese foods. She took us to a spice shop and we also brought a perfect Japanese knife! The restaurant we went to was typical cuisine and we enjoyed the meal.

Wonderful Experience

We met our foodie guide for a private walking tour of Omoide Yokocho, Kabukicho area and the Golden Gai in Tokyo, and spent the next three hours sampling a variety of delicious dishes (skewers, ramen, sushi, etc.) and drinks from four rustic food stalls and bars. This was one of the most fun and interesting things we did in Tokyo. We had an amazing guide -- insightful, fun and very educational about the culture of food and life in Japan. We highly recommend this tour.
