We have done at least 30 food tours around the World. This absolutely ranks as one of the best. Our guide, Naruto, was fantastic. His personality, humor and knowledge made for a great experience. The food was incredible…dumplings, several types of tuna, drinks and dessert . We certainly did not go away hungry. Highly recommend this tour.

It was good experience with knowledgeable, attentive and fun host Kei! We tried different food in three places…all tasty and had a great time.

I was very disappointed with this Tokyo food tour. The guide was friendly and clearly tried his best, but his heavy French accent made it difficult to understand much of the explanation in English. There was also very little actual information shared about the food, culture, or neighborhoods.
The tour advertised visits to three eateries, but the third stop was literally just a single small pastry. Food portions throughout the tour were very limited and shared among seven people. For the price charged, the value was extremely poor. It felt like most of the money was not going toward the food experience itself.
Overall, it was basically a short walk around the block with small shared samples of average food. Nothing felt unique, authentic, or memorable enough to justify the high cost. I would not recommend this tour.

Tour guide gave very little information besides what we were eating, and otherwise expressed dissatisfaction with their time living in Japan. The food was fine.

I’m giving this tour 5 stars, but with a caveat! First the 5 stars- Jasmine our tour guide was EXCELLENT!! We had a great time with her, learned a lot about the area, food and Japanese culture. The food was excellent, what we got was truly delicious and we enjoyed it very much, really good gyoza, sushi and chicken wing like we’ve never had, all very good. Now the caveat- there wasn’t very much food! As an American who probably eats too much, the entire tour didn’t supply too much food! We hit 2 restaurants and a dessert spot in the food hall of the mall and the portions were very small. It was slightly more than what I would serve as appetizers at home! After the fact I would say do the tour but don’t come starving hungry or plan on maybe getting a bit more to eat on your own after the tour! But again, excellent guide and food, just not enough of it.

Fun group experience to sample some food and beverages while experiencing the crossing. Great guide who did well interacting with the group.
Ursula_C, Apr 2026
The guide wasn't local but did know a good amount of information about Tokyo and food which was interesting. The dishes sampled could have been more interesting - we had tuna a bunch of different ways which was great but at one restaurant we had edamame and two types of gyoza which could have been more exciting. If you have no experience with Japanese food then I think it would be a good option.

Having Hoshi as a guide was such a great experience and would 100% recommend him as a tour guide for anyone coming to Japan
Dorothy_P, Apr 2026
Great tour learning about Japanese traditions, local specialties and the Shibuya area with guide Hoshi. We had a variety of different types of Japanese dumplings, checked out the famous Shibuya Scramble and savored tuna prepared in several cooking styles as we walked through the bustling streets of Shibuya. Finished our tour with a traditional pancake with red bean filling! Great tour, tasty food and an awesome guide - Hoshi!

Went to 3 eateries to enjoy sushi, desserts, nice small group. Good way to be introduced to Tokyo for first timers!

Kei was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. We had a great time meeting new people and eating wonderful food.

Faith was a good guide, she was knowledgeable about the food and drinks we tasted. Very engaging and an enjoyable experience.
Rebecca_R, Apr 2026
Great intro to Shibuya, and fantastically delicious food. There's not a huge variety here - restaurants in Japan seem to specialize, so we got several variations on gyoza and then several variations on tuna followed by a dessert. But we like gyoza and tuna, and the variations were all incredibly tasty. And we wouldn't have found any of the restaurants on our own, so we were very satisfied.
Catherine_M, Apr 2026
Nathan was awesome! It was a great tour and we enjoyed all of the cultural references he explained. The food was amazing and delicious and we are planning on going back to our first stop for dinner tonight! Thanks again and we would love to come back for another tour in the future.

Great English speaking guide.
One local restaurant served gyoza(dumplings) which were delicious. Second stop featured tuna, mostly raw, so may not appeal to everyone . 3rd stop was dessert. Fun to be out and about with a local!
Nathan, our guide, was fantastic! Would highly recommend!

My wife and I had a great time on the food tour. Nicolas was a fantastic guide with great insight. We highly recommend

Hoshi is a great tour guide and knowledgeable about Japanese foos. I recommend this tour for all foodies visiting Tokyo.
Sharon_F, Mar 2026
The guide was very nice and professional. The food wasn’t to my expectations. The first place was ok but the fact that it was only pork didn’t give me a choice. I don’t like pork. Also, I’m not crazy about Tuna.
Kathryn_S, Mar 2026
Great tour! Kei was an excellent guide. He was super knowledgeable and he fostered great conversation among the group. The food was very good and Kei gave excellent recommendations on how to continue our Japanese food journey while we’re here. We had a great time! Highly recommend!

Maria was a great guide, explaining all the dishes and local attractions. It was good to meet up with travellers from other countries.
Lisa_C, Mar 2026
Food eateries were nice, but I signed up for four stops with 13 dishes and only got 3 stops with 11 dishes. Tour guide gave little history or details on eateries and food.
Lori_B, Mar 2026
A nice variety of food and plenty of it. Our guide also told us some history of Shibaya which was a nice bonus.
ERHAN_N, Mar 2026
Very little food, lots of walking and our guide didn’t really speak English and was disengaged the whole time.
Milena_A, Mar 2026
You would never find these awesome hidden spots by yourself — trust me! The food was outstanding, and Nicolas explained everything with so much detail and passion. He’s a wealth of information, from Japanese cuisine to pop culture and everything in between. I 100% recommend taking the tour with him.
Thanks, Nicolas, for sharing so many great tips about Tokyo!
Katrina_Z, Mar 2026
We got to try a great authentic Japanese food. All was tasty and Maria was very sweet and organized.

This was the worst food tour I have ever taken. This was not at all as advertised there were 12 people 6 of whom were late. And we had to wait. At the first stop we were given 2 Chinese dumplings (very reminiscent of Costco) , a handful of edamame, one frito sized wafer with ground beef topping, 3 wonton like strips and a drink. This was sit down. The second “stop” was when we were told to gather around an outside tabletop. The guide handed out chopsticks and set 2 plastic containers of octopus on the table and we stood around and took turns dipping into the containers. Thee were people we did not know and there was plenty of double dipping- disgusting! Then we were walked through some kind of shopping mall killing time because the next restaurant was not ready. When we got to the restaurant which was right next door to the first one we waited for a very long time to be given a very poor grade of sashimi, over cooked batter fried ahi and a sushi roll (which was good). We each got 2 pieces of the sashimi, 2 pieces of the ahi and one piece of the sushi roll. We also could get a drink. Our next “stop” was the guide handing us a small custard pastry on the sidewalk outside the restaurant - not a dessert but something you might give a child as a snack overly sweet and doughy. We were told that we could not go to the dessert restaurant because the group was too large. It was impossible to hear or understand the guide due to the size of the group and the atmosphere. He said he was not really familiar with Japanese food and was filling in because 15 guides had quit in the last 2 weeks. I can see why they would quit. This was disorganized and mismanaged from the very beginning. It appears that they chose the least expensive restaurants they could . The food quality and restaurant ambience was very poor. This food tour was a waste of money and most of all a waste of a night in Tokyo.

Fun to get a chance to try many different dishes. It was an enjoyable way to spend an evening. No particular dish stood out.
Lauren_D, Mar 2026
Excellent experience - really fun, delicious food and Kei had so much knowledge about Japan! He gave us great suggestions for other activities we could do during our vacation.
Marilyn_P, Mar 2026
Hoshi was a great guide. All the eateries were tasty and all different. My favorite was the Oh Toro Kitchen.
arnold_N, Mar 2026
