Evening Street Food and Walking Tour of Shinjuku Kabukicho

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.

Udon Making Lesson in a Local Home with Japanese Culture Classes in Tokyo

Like finding a friend in Tokyo

Reviewed by: Cre

I took this class in Nov with the hope of learning about Udon making and Japanese culture. I got both. Wakana is a delightful host. She taught me how to make Udon noodles, which is easy and I have have made them since I have been home with great success. She also is a patient teacher with Origami. Take this class you won't regret spending time learning a new skill.

A lot of Fun

Reviewed by: Mary K, USA

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.

Private Sushi and Tempura Cooking Lesson at Tokyo

fun making sushi

Reviewed by: howard

It was great fun making sushi! The instruction included a nice background of the history of sushi and. Making the rice was great fun as well as working with the fish. The tempura part of the class did not have as much instruction as i would have liked. You get to eat the food you made and they give you a little gift at the end. The instructors were very nice and helpful. Overall my family and I enjoyed this event. The location we were at was across the street from the One Piece Tokyo Tower so that was a nice bonus.

Japanese Home-Style Cooking Lesson in Tokyo in English (Morning or Evening)

The best cooking class in Japan!

Reviewed by: Valentina

This wasn't my first trip to Japan or cooking class, but it was indeed the first time where I finally learned a ton of actually useful, tasty and healthy recipes that could be reproduced outside Japan! I loved every minute of the class with Sato, he's adorable and very skilled and I cannot recommend this class enough! Also, he took me around Tokyo after lunch and it was a real treat! There are some things that you miss altogether if you're just a tourist, so I highly recommend the tour as well: we were also particularly lucky because there was the beautiful Kanda Matsuri festival and I had the chance to have Sato explaining everything to me plus I could enjoy the festive vibes and the music!
Thank you Sato-San, again, I had a blast!

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！

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!

Reviewed by: Liesbeth

Sato was a wonderful host. He picked us up at the station and walked us to his home. My mother and I were the only participants. We were able to ask him questions about the food, the several ingredients and how to use them in the bento box.
His explanation of the little dishes were very clear. He also gave us the recipes so that we could make them at home again. When we finished making our bento boxes, we went to Shinjuku park to eat our homemade bento boxes underneath the sakura blossoms. We've enjoyed it a lot.

Wonderful 90 minutes! We got to try many things we wouldn't have otherwise tried. The entire tour is indoors, so it is great for a cold / rainy day. Even our kids (ages 8 and 11) enjoyed this tour. The guide (Julia) was awesome and made the whole tour fun. For the money, this tour was an INCREDIBLE deal!

Japanese Wagashi Sweets Making with Matcha Green Tea in Tokyo

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

Reviewed by: Janice

I'm sure most of you would take a step back when you look at the cost, but honestly, how often do you travel to a new country and by-pass all the tourist-y spots to experience their culture in-depth?

This is the perfect opportunity to experience one of Japanese's most beautiful culture --- tea and wagashi. You will learn about the ingredient, techniques, and how they use simple colors or shapes to capture the essence of seasonal beauty. All ingredients were made from scratch by our lecturer.

The green wagashi with pink tip is the flower bulb of a pink peony, captured at the moment it is about to bloom. It's absolutely amazing to see how colors are created and the various tools you can use to create its shape.

I would go again if I can! It's so much fun and our translator is very professional and accommodating.

Japanese Home-Style Cooking Lesson in Tokyo in English (Morning or Evening)

Better than a usual sushi lesson

Reviewed by: S Bazzaz

Sato is friendly, fun and a great teacher. I picked the kariage chicken lesson, we cooked soba noodles, the chicken, a salad and a fresh miso soup. This was all made in his shinjuku Appartment.

It was a great evening with a few beers experiencing local food with a local who wants to share his favourite foods.

Pass on the numerous generic sushi lessons and take one of these courses. I have repeated a couple of the dishes since being back in London - they are great reminders of Tokyo.

Thanks Sato!

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed the food tour with Ryo. It is worth doing this tour because we learned about food from different parts of Japan and we went to small restaurants that serve amazing food that wouldn't know otherwise.

A beautiful restaurant

Reviewed by: Kerry

We had a lovely first night in Tokyo, beautiful weather complimented the view of the city. We had front row seats overlooking Tokyo and the tower. The staff were accommodating, the food so varied. It was hard to know where to start! This is a great place to get you palette accustomed to Japanese food. I tried many things I had been interested in but not game to order. They have chefs cooking made to order noodle dishes and barbecuing meats and frying tempura. There are drinks galore. It was a Thursday night for us so most people were dressed smart casual. There was a group of school kids there also, but they were made to eat separate to the other diners. I would recommend it for the price.

All the sakes were so much better than the ones you get in Europe! The bar owners were really sweet and excited for us to visit, and gave us lots of recommendations all night long. They helped us figure out if we liked dry or sweet sake, and had us try their personal favorites. We each had at least 8~9 kinds, as well as yummy fruity liqueurs.

All-You-Can-Drink with 100 Types of Sake in Tokyo at a Local Bar in Shibuya

Must do in Shibuya

Reviewed by: Fresca

This was an awesome way to start our Friday night in Shibuya. No problem checking in, although the bar is in a kinda apartment-like looking building, so make sure to bring the address with you.
So many different kids of sake to try, and they use a symbol system to let you know what each type is like, so you don't need to know Japanese. Lots of people of all ages, my friend and I felt like we blended in with the Tokyoites. The staff had good recommendations, and tried really hard to make sure we were happy (and tipsy!)
Good value for money, thanks!
