10/10 great food, fun and full at the end!

Tadashi and Shun were incredible hosts. The tour has a huge amount of delicious food, in places we would never have found. Our group of 4 adults and 2 teens all had a wonderful, funny and informative time. We also had one vegetarian in our group, and Tadashi worked with the chefs to ensure there was an option at all stops except one. Amazing! I spent ages researching tours, and I am so glad I chose this one. Don’t read any further… just book this!

A fun and engaging tour

Mr. Nobu was our guide who took us around multiple streets and food spots while telling us more about the history and introducing us to new food we would have never tried without him. His comedy lightened the mood and he made sure everyone was included in the conversation.
