Great fun and tasty food!

We had a great night with guide Nobu going to three different places in Shinjuku, finishing in about 3,5h. The food was very tasty and we all had a great time together! I would recommend this tour if you are interested in exploring different types of japanese cuisine.

Incredible Experience!! Thank you Max!

Such an amazing experience!! We did the sake and food tour with Max and absolutely loved it. He was so knowledgeable about sake, food, and Japan, but also incredibly kind and easy to talk to. It honestly felt like we were exploring Tokyo with a friend. The food and sake were amazing, and we learned so much along the way. We couldn’t recommend this tour more — and if you get Max as your guide, you’re in for a treat!

Fantastic tour with fantastic guide, Megan!

Megan was so fantastic. She made us feel really welcome and comfortable straight away and she was very personable. We got to try food from 4 spots in Shinjuku and it was such a great mix of food and knowledge. We also had a lovely walk around with Megan giving us recommendations on food and drink spots. We would highly recommend this tour and won't hesitate to tell our visiting friends to go on it!

Amazing Experience

The experience was amazing! This is a must do on your visit! Nobu, our guide, was so amazing and so hilarious. We stopped at three restaurants over ~3 hours and every place was unique and delicious! It is a set fee for the tour so no money is required at all! We were with a crowd of 12 and everyone was very happy with our experience. The highlight/best part was definitely Nobu who we really cannot thank enough! This is best for everyone!

Fun and Delicious Tour!

Nobu was a very fun tour guide! He was very energetic and funny through the whole tour and lifted spirits despite the rain. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was welcoming. I enjoyed talking to Nobu briefly about his experience in Florida as an employee at Disney World! It was very insightful as I’m about to start working there myself.

Nobu was fantastic! I quite literally have never done a review before for anything. But this food tour with Nobu was truly a great experience. Loved that we got to try foods from different parts of Japan. Highly recommend!
