Awesome Food tour by Blake
Blake was awesome! Def worth booking - really enjoyed the food tour!! Aloha!
Best Way to Experience Shinjuku!
My wife and I had the best time on this tour. It was a perfect way to get the lay of the land in Shinjuku during the early days of being there. Our guide, Jun, was able to weave cultural, historical and tons of food knowledge into the entire experience. I would recommend this to anyone. Jun was seriously the best guide…and hilarious too!!!
Highly recommend
Highly recommend this food experience with Karen, a lovely Tokyo local. Especially loved the Okinawa food, my new fav 😍
Memorable Evening Tasting Japanese Food and Drink
This tour was recommended by friends who did it days earlier, and we really enjoyed our evening! Our guide, Jun, was a great young man, clear in his explanations, funny, and informative. The food and drink we tried was interesting, tasty, and unusual. It was an evening I'll never forget!
Very good food tour
Really enjoyed the food selections and descriptions from Ryogo of the food and culture!
