I had a wonderful evening with the group and especially with Midori as our guide, we visited some fantastic local bars and izakayas. She is an absolute angel, anyone who books Midori will have an incredible experience.
My husband and I did the tour with Midori, and we had a most wonderful time! First, the food was delicious: we went to three different izakaya and had sashimi, fried chicken, a salad, gyoza, and oyster. We were given menus at each restaurant and were able to choose what we wanted to eat. More importantly, though, the company was amazing! Midori is a gracious host and she soon had our group laughing and talking as if we were old friends. In fact, it was hard to say goodbye after our evening together. I highly recommend this tour: not only will you eat delicious food but you will make new friends!
Good experience for solo travellers. Also to find local eats

Hide was a fun and gracious host. We went to three different places and had more than enough delicious food, and drinks at each spot. None of us could actually finish everything since we were so full! You should come hungry and ready to drink. We were a group of seven people who did not know each other before, but by the end, we were laughing together and had a great time.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food, drinks, and the great atmosphere with Hide.

We had an amazing food tour in Sapporo, Hokkaido, and our guide, Ms. Midori, made the experience truly unforgettable! She was incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming throughout the entire tour. Not only did she introduce us to delicious local foods, but she also shared interesting stories and insights about Sapporo’s culture and history. Her passion for Hokkaido and genuine care for her guests made the experience feel very personal and special. Every stop was thoughtfully selected, and we got to try some of the best local specialties. Thanks to Ms. Midori, we discovered places and flavors we would never have found on our own.
