An excellent way to sample unique cuisine!

Published on Apr, 2025

For the adventurous eaters out there, this tour is well worth the booking! We started off with several servings of fugu (sashimi, fried, and with the tail in a cup of sake) in a local bar that no tourist would normally find. From there, we then visited another local restaurant featuring cuisines from the Kyushu region. Here, we sampled different cuts of horse meat and a few other dishes. Our tour guide provided good local knowledge of the area and advised us on how to sample all of the food. We were given plenty of food, ordered our own drinks, and enjoyed the company of our local guide. Highly recommended!

Great time

Published on Apr, 2025

Great experience very authentic. Food, ambience and informative. The guide was very polite and friendly. It was fun to watch and learn

It was a great experience!

Published on Mar, 2025

The extremely charming local guide Koji led us through the evening with enthusiasm, humor, and impressive knowledge. In two charming izakayas, we savored a variety of delicious dishes and immersed ourselves in authentic Japanese after-work life. The fugu, accompanied by exquisite side dishes, was particularly unforgettable – a true culinary experience. We were also thrilled by the three variations of fish roe, as well as the tender horse sashimi and other gastronomic highlights. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening that we highly recommend to everyone!

Delicious!

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a really cool tour with some great food! For those who want to try things like fugu and horse sashimi, this is definitely your tour. But it's also great for less adventurous palates too! Our guide, Koji, did a great job of accommodating the tastes of everyone on the tour and made sure that everyone walked away full and happy. The tour was worth every penny and is a great way to spend an evening in Tokyo!

Ebisu food tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide Duke took us to some great places to eat that would have been hard for someone who is not a local to find. His English was great as well and my kids found him entertaining as well. We had a variety of foods and he also gave some history regarding the area we were in as well of different types of Japanese cuisine.
