Gourmet food tasting tour nihonbashi

Reviewed by: Lorri

Our tour guides were very informative and really nice. We went to a variety of different stores to sample their products. The tour is indoors which worked out for us as it was raining that day. It was great value, worth the visit and we would recommend this tour.

Evening Food Tour of Golden Gai in Shinjuku

Night of fun and great food

Reviewed by: Erinl

We had a wonderful introduction to the Golden Gai and tried food items we would have never thought to...our guide was interesting and fun...she shared the history of the area, interesting details of life in Tokyo, and took us to cool places we would have been too intimidated to go into on our own. I HIGHLY recommend booking a tour!

Not only did we get to sample different foods, we also learned about their origins and history. So interesting! After the tour, we went back to the stores we toured and bought sweet potato snacks and wheat flour mochi. Our tour guide was very informative and friendly.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Worth 1000 Yen.

Reviewed by: joy

I've been on these tour twice now, and both times have being with a non-japanese guide. But they definitely know their stuff and it's a mix of Japanese culture and food. Very worth a 1000 yen. You even get a gift at the end :-)

Tokyo Food Tour in Harajuku & Omotesando with Kawaii Cute Culture and Sweets

Great for foodies

Reviewed by: Jas

I only knew Harajuku for the gothic-lolita kawaii fashion so it was very interesting to see the back alleys and food places I normally don't see in guidebooks. We got to sample a lot of regional specialities and lots of desserts (my favorite!) Our friendly guide was super knowledgeable and was flexible to cater to our entire group. But be prepared to swim through the crowd and possibly wait on lines for some of the treats.

Tokyo Food Tour in Harajuku & Omotesando with Kawaii Cute Culture and Sweets

Tour for the Tummy

Reviewed by: Open Sesame

Our guide Asami did a great job taking us to places with great eats! She made sure to give us background info about the places we were visiting and even explained Japanese customs and table manners. She also accommodated personal requests (getting specific souvenirs, etc.) which made the tour feel more intimate.

I did expect this tour to feature more Instagrammable food, but it wasn't so much the case. Nonetheless, everything we ate was good. I especially loved the sesame ice cream!

Evening Food Tour of Golden Gai in Shinjuku

Evening Food Tour Golden Gai Shinjuku

Reviewed by: B and L, Australia

We had a highly enjoyable experience on the evening food tour Golden Gai Shinjuku. Our guide Norma was excellent. She chose some great food destinations and was very helpful in explaining Japanese food etiquette and culture. In between eating, Norma guided us around Shinjuku, which is a must see destination if you come to Tokyo. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a great download on the activities and history of the Shinjuku area. Towards, the end of the tour we went to the Golden Gai area, which is quite fascinating for tourists.

We dont write alot of reviews, but would highly recommend this tour, and in particular, we felt quite fortunate that our guide was Norma, as she was really very committed to ensuring that the group was enjoying both the tour and the food experience.

Really enjoyed this. Learned a lot about the different food items and regions of origin. The guide was great and wore a kimono and had yukata for the kids to wear which was a lot of fun. Also great because it was all indoors and it was raining outside.

Unusual taste of Japan!

Reviewed by: Adrienne

This little walking tour of some of the famous and historical food stores whose history date from the Edo period was quite delightful and very good value.
The two kimono clad young guides provided us with an excellent commentary in English as well as with samples of the various foods.
I recommend this tour to anyone interested in Japanese food. The Nihonbashi area of Tokyo is a must to visit too!

１時間半で日本の食文化の特徴をいくつか掴むことができる

Reviewed by: Naomi

・初来日の外国人家族と参加。日本の文化の基本というか共通項を見てもらえると期待して申し込む。
・嗜好の違いか、羊羹や昆布は「濃い」（煮詰まっている、甘すぎるといった感じ）というコメント、出汁はこわごわでしたが美味しいとも。日本文化や日本食はある程度海外でも認知度が高いと想定していたが、全く知らない人にはちょっと刺激が強いかも。
・日本の地形や風土が地方によって違うことを知らない場合、県やエリアのことを言われても、何かすごく違いがあるのかわからないので伝わりづらいと感じた。
・終わった後に「短時間で一応いろんなことを学んだ（気がする）。いいツアーだ」と感想を言っていたので良かった。別の家族が来たらまた案内したい。
・スペイン語も対応してくれると嬉しい

Evening Street Food and Walking Tour of Shinjuku Kabukicho

Reviewed by: Keith

The lady tour guide might be described as "kooky", and in the main her English was not good and her voice was rather inaudible. BUT- she showed us all the interesting places and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Everything promised was delivered. A word of warning- make sure you go to the correct BUSTA tourist office, not the central one!

Not worth it...

Reviewed by: Claire

The guide was nice and friendly. Although not a good tour! We could have easily done the tour ourselves. No information was given about the area, history etc. He would just point and say the name of the building or pointed out fast food places as the "food" part of the tour. Not worth the money we paid.

A lot of Fun

We didn't have trouble finding our guide. Directions were good and easy to follow. We had a small group and our guide was friendly and well versed in the culture and history of Tokyo. We really enjoyed tasting all the different foods. We recommend this walking tour as you get to immerse yourself in the tastes, sounds and the ambiance of local Tokyo. We also had great communication with Veltra. They were prompt to respond to your questions and made the process of booking very easy.

それぞれのお店を周り、お店の製品の説明を英語でしてもらえたのは良かった。（日本人でも説明しにくいこと（米麹やかつおぶしについてなど）はこうやって言えばいいんだと勉強になった）しかし、本当に食べたいと思う牡蠣などの美味しそうなものはお店の紹介だけ。他のお店も一押しのものを試食させてくれればいいのにそうでもなかった気がする。日本人からしたら、高くてもいいものこそ試食させて本物を体験させてあげて欲しかった。ただガイドさんは一生懸命もりあげようとしてくれていて好感が持てました。最後にお土産をくれるのも良かった。もう少しハイクオリティーになるなら他の海外の友人にも勧めたい。もう一押し！

Good not great

Reviewed by: Jane C.

I guess I was expecting a lot. With gourmet in the title, I was expecting gourmet. I was hoping for good food souvenirs to take back home or great eats to try. At least 3 stops were non food stops, and one food stop did not have samples. One sample was cold but felt would tasted better hot/warm. Another sample was very plain in contrast to the ornateness of what the shop offers. The hostesses were very helpful and described the regions well.
