First Japan Experience!

Best food tour guide ever! He's fluent in English, Nihongo, and even Tagalog! So if you're Filipino, you'll surely be able to converse with him comfortably. Plus, he makes sure that the food you'll be indulging is not only rich in flavor but also rich with the history behind it. It was such an educational and fun experience for me! Thank you, Onii-san Daniel, for such a wonderful experience! Wish there was more time! I highly recommend him!

Good food tour for the price

Great tour for the price. Aika was friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to interact with people on the tour group, as well as introducing us to different foods. We tasted sushi dishes and stick food as well as sake and pastries. Special time was made to pass by popular tourist spots and Aika made sure everyone got a memorable picture in front of Godzilla. The variety of food locations was just right and it was a great, short trip around Shinjuku, made even better with Aika‘s guidance.

Fabulous foodie tour

Fabulous! Igor was so knowledgeable about the foods, history of the foods, culture, etc. The 4 stops were NOT tourist restaurants! I highly recommend. I was on the 5p to 8p tour.
