Full description

We'll begin with one of the most popular sushi shops to enjoy freshly made sushi and start walking through the bustling local streets near the station.
As we leave the busy station area we head toward the downtown district to enjoy some fried or steamed dumplings called Gyoza.
Then a short hop away a staple of the Japanese street food, the famous Yakitori served with a draft beer or a flavoured Sawa in a busy Tachinomiya (stand up eat & drink restaurant).
We then stop by another classic street food, taking away a "Croquette" to enjoy as we stroll through the shops of the Ameyoko area.
Time to switch from savoury to sweet with our first choice of Manju or depending upon the season some freshly cut fruit.
And a trip to Japan would not be considered fulfilled if one did not enjoy some Matcha ice cream.
As with all our tours, there's our delicious Secret Dish in a cosy environment.
