Sake Tasting with 100 Different Kinds of Local Sake at a Bar in Ueno

Great time and friendly staff

Reviewed by: Oradee

My husband and I had a very enjoyable time. The staff were extremely friendly and gave a good service. The premises were clean and comfortable. There was a huge range of sake to choose from. I was surprised to see many Japanese there and most of them were women . Although I was there with my husband it would be a safe place for a single lady. Hope to go again.

Best of Japan Gourmet Tasting Tour in Nihonbashi

Good Tour

Reviewed by: Michele Curran

Our trip to Nihonbashi district was very educational and enriching for me and my boys. It made us appreciate Japan even more, each province possessing a unique food story worth telling. This tour is a gem, consolidating all these food stories in an hour or so, allowing us to immerse into the culture and the people altogether. Our favorite was the dried fish that we grated into thin strips of fish. We never thought you can do that to.fish!! My sons enjoyed grating them.

We also got to sample most of the food items. My personal favorite would be the sweet potato fries. Yum!!!!!!

the storytellers Are fantastic. They have very good knowledge of the subjects and the history that accompanies them. They adjust to the audience's capacity to.absorb information and attention span. Would definitely recommend to friends and loved ones! :-)

Best of Japan Gourmet Tasting Tour in Nihonbashi

Best of Japan Gourmet Tasting Tour

Reviewed by: Michele Curran

Me and my family greatly enjoyed the tour, it was a nice relaxing way to spend an afternoon and helped us sample the best of Japanese cuisine. While the choices themselves are quite unique, I would have preferred it if there were more substitute options for those who didn't quite enjoy some parts of the tour, since there is a wide range of food available and not all of it will be accessible to everyone. The tour itself is professionally handled and we had no issues with the presentation or the guides at all, they seemed to know a lot about the food history of Japan and I personally enjoyed spending an hour with them. To conclude, this tour is an excellent opportunity to experience some Japanese delicacies from the comfort and safety off Tokyo.

100 Types of Sake All-You-Can-Drink Tasting at a Local Bar in Ikebukuro

Sake Heaven!

Reviewed by: Jasmine

I visited this location with my friend visiting from America and my Japanese friend. In America, there are lots of wines and craft beers, but very little selection of sakes. This was an awesome experience to taste all sorts of sakes from all over Japan! My Japanese friend also made us some snacks to nibble on while we tasted a variety of sakes for almost 6 hours!
The staff there was super nice and recommended all sorts of sakes and did an hourly "toast with water" to keep us all standing on our feet the next day. haha They also handed out slippers for us to wear after standing on our feet for several hours. I got to also try a lot of unique prototype cold press fruit liquors that I'm in love with now. I really need to check out their sister shop, "Shugar" next time!

  • Tasty unique cold press fruit liquors

  • All sakes have labels stating the type of flavor too.

  • You can drink hot sake too!

Ramen Making Experience with a Professional Ramen Chef in Tokyo

Great fun! Delicious ramen

Reviewed by: Doug

If you like ramen, you'll really enjoy this event. Standing in the kitchen and racing the clock to prepare the perfect bowl as the noodles boil really gives you a sense what goes into running a ramen shop and all the work that goes into it. The lecture parts gives you an idea of how shop owners think about putting their stamp on this highly competitive multi-million dollar industry.

Become a Sushi Chef with a Professional Lesson and Shabu Shabu Lunch in Roppongi

Sushi making

Reviewed by: Kim, heekyeong

I had a great time with my kids (9 years old girl and 7 years old boy)
Chef explained how to make sushi in a fluent English following with the history of sushi.
We actually made many kinds of sushi and the course ended up eating our own sushi and prime wakyu sukiyski they served in individual boiling pot with yummy rice.
The restaurant itself is very nice clean and decent place to go.
My kids will never forget this fun experience.

100 Types of Sake All-You-Can-Drink Tasting at a Local Bar in Ikebukuro

100 different sakes

Reviewed by: NLB

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.

Soba Noodle Making Lesson with Professional Instructor at Yushima

Super delicious experience!

Reviewed by: Jasmine

I experienced making soba for the first time in my life. I have made udon before, but have not made soba.
Since I had a chance in Tokyo, I participated in it. As soon as I arrived at the soba shop, I wore the happi coat and felt as if I were a master of making soba. I was surprised that the instructor this time was not a trainee teacher but an fully certified professional. I learned about the types of soba, conditions to make it, and methods of production for the food I normally eat without thinking. I learned how to mixing the flour, roll the dough, and cut it, each step taught in depth by the instructor. Eating my own soba right next to Yushima Tenjin made it taste so good. I got a recipe from there which doesn't seem too difficult to make, so I will try it at home. As they even showed me how to eat properly, I can no longer eat them in a usual messy way! My mom was there, too, and she and I were very happy that we got plenty to take home.

Walking in the streets of Shinjuku allowed us to see the old and new facet of the city. Our guide Mamoru was very lively and had an extensive knowledge of Shinjuku's history. The highlight of the activity was eating authentic Takoyaki at the end of the tour.

そば打ち体験 プロである准教授の指導で本格的なそば打ちにチャレンジ!<湯島>by 日本そば打ち名人会

おいしすぎる体験!

Reviewed by: Jasmine

人生初めてのそば打ちを体験をすることができました!以前にうどんは作ったことがあったのですが、そばはなかったのでせっかく東京に機会があったので参加してみました。ついてすぐにお店のそば打ち法被をお借りして気分はそば打ち名人。今回の先生は準教師さんではなく、鑑定士さんご本人でびっくり!いつもはさりげなく食べてるそばもそば粉の種類、状態、生産のことなどを学べて、そばの奥深さを知りました。粉から混ぜて、伸して、切る段階を一つずつ丁寧に教えてもらいました。湯島天神のすぐそばで新鮮な打ち立てのマイそば(笑)の味は格別です。その場で調理法も教えてもらったので家で私でもできそうなのでやってみます。お蕎麦のおいしい食べ方も伝授してもらい、これからはいつもの雑な食べ方では食べられないと思います!たっぷりお持ち帰りもできて一緒に参加した母も私も大満足でした♪

  • そばを均等に切れる方法も伝授

  • 出来上がったそばをその場で試食!そばの葉っぱってハート型って初めてしりました。

  • 試食分とお持ち帰りの分たっぷりです!(二人で作った8人前です

  • 粉と水を均等にまぜまぜ

Dinner Reservations at Asakusa View Hotel's Sky Grill Buffet & Bar Musashi

A delightful dinner and amazing view!

Reviewed by: Red

Service from start to end was absolutely wonderful. We were about 15 minutes early, and before I could even say we were happy to wait, the gracious hostess was leading us to our table. The side-by-side seats let both my wife and I enjoy the fantastic view, and as the sun began to set the interior lights dimmed to make sure there was no distracting reflections on the glass.

The food was quite good, all freshly prepared and continually renewed. There were a number of to-order stations, including pho, ramen, pasta, and shabu-shabu. A variety of fish, seafood, beef, and pork were also served, all cooked in the lava stone lined oven in an open kitchen. There was also an interesting water corner, with bottled varieties from all over Japan, each with a unique character and flavor profile.

An extra surprise came later during our meal, when fireworks began to fly up in the distance! We happened to enjoy eye-level views of the Sumidagawa River fireworks that night, turning an already lovely evening into an utterly magical one.

  • The entryway

  • Sunset over Asakusa, from our table.

Fun Weekday Wagashi Japanese Sweets Cooking Class in Tokyo

Great experience with wonderful staff

Reviewed by: Alan

The instructor and staff were excellent and you get to try to make a few different wagashi sweets yourself. This is a very worthwhile experience because many local Japanese people themselves rarely get a chance to make wagashi. The actual building is a little tricky to find but I was able to ask for directions when I was near the area.

Dear Alan,

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are greatly pleased to know that you enjoyed making Japanese sweets!
We hope that you will have another opportunity to come back to Japan to join our program.

Dinner Reservations at Asakusa View Hotel's Sky Grill Buffet & Bar Musashi

Romantic, Up-Class, Great Views and Good value for Money

Reviewed by: aamandal

I didn't really have any expectations for this booking, infact I didnt think it would be that great as with buffet styles, mostly its quantity over quality.
It didnt start well, as I mixed up my dates and showed up on the wrong night. Most people with vouchers would of turned me away, and they actually let us in and we did not have to repay (even though we were in fault for coming on the wrong night).
We were dressed casually with low expectations, to arrive at this amazing hotel and be greeted by a man dressed fully in a suit. We were not dressed properly for this.
The food was great, the selection is good, and the views by the window are breath taking, this is worth the money and for the price paid - not only do you get great food, you get great views, and if you cant afford to stay at the hotel, you can live it up for the night and pretend to be rich :) We had many rich travelers around, dressed in high end up clothing, and leaving their Louis Vuittons all over the place. :)
