Top Tokyo Food Tours - page 14

The tour of the outer market was great! Shoko-san did a great job in helping navigate the busy streets, pointing out long standing businesses in the area, and encouraging to try some delicious local foods. She allowed enough time to do purchases and also consume the food while we were moving around the area. She has excellent English and knows the area very well. As for the sushi class, it was such a treat. We have the pro-chef teach us the right way to prepare the sushi with a food instructional demo before we made our own. There was also a very professional presentation and presenter that helped explain what we were doing and the ingredients we were using. The objective of the class was to learn how to form the sushi pieces, not making everything from scratch. The rice recipe and other useful materials were shared at the end of the class via QR code. Overall, it was a good half day spent knowing better about Japanese food culture, and being able to assemble and then enjoy the shushi we made during the course.

We just arrived in Tokyo and we wanted a convenient and enjoyable way to explore Tokyo. Our guide, Eriko, guided us through the city. She was attentive and knowledgeable. We went to the Meiji Jingu Shrine and the Senso-ji Temple. She gave us the history of these sites and instructed us on how to conduct ourselves at these venerated sites. We also walked down Takeshita Street and took in the Tokyo Sky Tree. To top it off was the luxurious vehicle and the driver who took us around the city. The car was waiting for us whenever we were finished. All in all I heartily recommend this tour.

We’ve done walking food tours in many cities but this was definitely a cut above the rest. Our excellent host, Hiro, took us first to a sushi restaurant to try a wide selection of fish and then to a BBQ restaurant where we cooked various cuts of wagyu under his supervision, finishing up with gelato under Godzilla’s watchful eye. Hiro was generous with his explanations of the history and traditions around both foods and we came away with a much better knowledge as a result.
