Tokyo The Izakaya tour

This food tour was an absolute highlight of our time in Tokyo. We had 4 different food stops, each completely different and all delicious. It was great to visit places that we would probably have walked past if we were out on our own, and it has certainly changed our approach going forward. Our guide, Shuhei was amazing. So friendly and knowledgable he made the tour an absolute pleasure. I wont say anymore about the food, you just have to experience it for yourself. If you like your food, like trying something a bit different, all with great company, then you will love this food tour.

We enjoyed a fantastic few hours sampling the delights of izakayas with two very knowledgeable and experienced guides - Naomi and Oishii’s MD Naoko. We were joined by another couple and a lone traveller. The Oishii pair made us all very welcome. They shared insights into Japanese culture, supported by a folder full of fascinating facts. They willingly answered all and any questions. The two izakyayas were very different and the food was amazing. They explained the cuisine and how to eat like a local. We finished the evening with in a cocktail bar then dessert. It was a fantastic evening. We thoroughly recommend it. Oishii’s history as a company is awesome. Thanks, Naoko, Naomi and Team Oishii for the experience! Peter and Cei, UK.

Superb food tour around Ebisu’s Izakaya’s our host Evelyn was superb, her local knowledge was excellent and we loved the little snippets of local Japanese history. The venues were superb and friendly we Would certainly recommend Oishi tours and Evelyn

Guided by the excellent Kazumi we explored three Izakayas where we were expertly guided on the local culture, the different foods, all delicious, and sake. Kazumi also taught us some more basic Japanese phrase, how to use them appropriately and told us about the history of the area. A great trip to experience Tokyo as a local might and highly recommended

Best food tour I have attended! I went to the Izayaka one in Tokyo and we visited 3 different restaurants and had ice cream in the end! The guide, Shuhei, was also very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!

We had a really fun and memorable night on the Izakaya tour. Shuhei was an excellent host - so friendly and informative. The food was great everywhere we went and we felt like we got to explore places we would never have been to on our own. It feels like you are getting to go out for the evening with a Japanese friend. We’d highly recommend Oishii to anyone interested in food and Japanese culture!

Spent 3 days in Tokyo, 2 days in Hiroshima, 3 days in Kyoto 3 days in Osaka. The trip was fabulous. Japan is the cleanest country we’ve ever visited.

Great start to our 10 day trip! Literally hopped off the plane, dropped bags at hotel and met up with Seiyo. He was full of great information ….. easy to talk to… we really enjoyed the tour.

If I could do this again. I would in a heartbeat! I did the izakaya underpass tour as a solo traveler and was joined by one couple and our guide, Ko. Ko was amazing! So personable. So lovely. So knowledgeable. So patient as we asked loads of questions. And the places he took us to were to die for. I've never had such good raw fish and steak. I especially loved the small group format because Ko was able to order us a bunch of little things (as is custom for Izakaya I believe). This meant we all got to try a lot of new things without committing to a full meal or dish. It felt like a lowkey, fun night out at dinner with friends. I plan to recommend this tour company, and Ko specifically, to my friends and family moving forward. And if I ever return, I look forward to taking one of the other tours.

10/10 experience, one of the best things we did in Tokyo. Ko is absolutely amazing and it felt like going for dinner with a good friend. He was the perfect tour host, so welcoming, friendly and so knowledgeable. You really get to experience authentic tokyo, a must do! Thank you ko!
