Japan Awaits

In this 2.5 hour local food tour, embark on a memorable food adventure with a small group guided by an English-speaking tour guide and, most importantly, a local foodie.

• When people think of Japanese food, they normally think of sushi, ramen, tempura, udon, kare raisu (rice with curry) and the like, but there are other Japanese delicacies that are popular and common to locals that many who visit Japan may never try.
• In this 2.5 hour food tour, embark on a memorable food adventure with a small group guided by an English-speaking tour guide and, most importantly, a local foodie. Guests will weave through the crowded streets of Yurakucho (or Ginza in some cases), and visit restaurants serving local delicacies that are not for the weak-stomached, such as blowfish (fugu), horse meat, and more, along with traditional foods such as sushi and yakitori.
• While many people can say they have had the best ramen and sushi in town (some of which you will try in this tour), you will also be able to say that you’ve had by far the most interesting and adventurous food in Tokyo!

Is the food safe to eat?

While some Japanese delicacies such as fugu (blowfish) and horse sashimi may be strange or bizarre to other nationals, Japanese restaurants have been specializing and serving these foods since before the Edo period. However, we strongly advise anyone who has any dietary restrictions to take all necessary precautions in this tour. There may be some reaction to foods that one has never experienced (this is the guest’s discretion), but for many Japanese locals, these types of food may not be anything out of the ordinary.
