I'm so happy I booked...

Angel_P, Dec 2025

I'm so happy I booked this tour of Nishiki Market! Mana has amazing taste, and gave us great recommendations. Her choices were well rounded from spices to sushi, wagyu, desserts, and more. We left with plenty of treats to take home. We even ended up going back to the market to get more of what she recommended days after the tour. We got lost on our way to the market, and she was extremely accommodating finding us.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the Nishiki Market tour and the variety of tastings, from spices to sushi, wagyu, and desserts. It means a lot to know that my recommendations were helpful and that you even came back for more afterward. I’m also glad I could help when you got lost—thank you for your kindness and for choosing to explore Nishiki Market with me!

Wonderful experience...
