Reviews
Hands down this was our best experience in Tokyo! It was amazing to explore Norma’s local area. She’s an excellent guide. We had a fantastic meal and the sake tasting. We highly recommend these tours.
Whiskey / Sake tasting tour with Laiana. Fantastic night and very knowledgeable! Would highly recommend
Had a great time on the Golden Gai food tour in Shinjuku with our guide JJ. He’s personable and very knowledgeable in Japan’s food culture. The spots he picked were delicious, felt very local, and gave us a taste of the many varieties of cuisine in Shinjuku. Beyond that, JJ is filled with interesting facts and street smart tips on living life in Tokyo. I would recommend taking this food tour if you’re in Shinjuku!
