Taiga hosted a very nice and easygoing tour for our group. We got to see a lot of the market and he shared a lot of interesting knowledge about Japans history and culture. Would highly recommend!
Our tour was with Keiji. I had high hopes based on the reviews online. We came hungry having read several reviews that said come hungry and be ready to eat! We missed breakfast and somehow our first “bite” of a sip of Daishi wasn’t until 10:30 am (tour started at 9). I felt our time would have been better spent in the market and trying all the delicious foods we were seeing rather than a side tour to the shrine. The food we got was less than what I read in other reviews and not as high quality picks - one of the things we were given was chopped tuna meant for chirashi bowls and not sashimi. I had read other groups had ramen, dumplings, and so many other dishes. Ours felt like a rip off and we felt we probably could have just led our own way through the market and did our own self tour. We didn’t feel that we learned anything new about the market, the people working there, or the specialty foods there. This was the tour I was most looking forward to and walked away highly disappointed. At the end of the tour Keiji asked if he could give us recommendations for our stay. We asked for recs in Ebisu and his “recommendation” was to ask someone on the street for a good izakaya. Overall Keiji was nice but I would hesitate to go on another Ninja Food tour.
Took us to some great foodstands and restaurants. The food was great and he gave us some great information and history about the area. Thank you Taiga
Taiga had an amazing tour and we enjoyed it immensly.
Great tour! Guide gave us a lot of history, context and insights. He orchestrated everything we ate. Totally hassle free. Skipped all lines, including the tuna tasting line which was long. Keiji was our guide. Great guide! Spoke great English. Was super nice to all 4 of us (me, my wife and daughters) and wanted to be sure we were having a good time. Highly recommend it!
It was great. Friendly, knowledgeable guide and great food! Our guide, Keiji, was fantastic
Kaz and his colleague were amazing guides and this tour was so tasty! We learned heaps and had a front row seat to some of the best places in the market. Highly recommended.
An all-around fantastic tour! Our guide Kaz was super friendly and expertly led us to very good, authentic stalls at the Tsukiji market. The food was excellent – from incredibly fresh fish to heavenly strawberry mochi, everything was included. The small group size made the experience very personal and relaxed. An absolute recommendation.
Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Kaz Sie so gut durch den Tsukiji Markt begleitet hat und dass das frische Fischessen und der Erdbeer-Mochi Ihre Herzen gewonnen haben. Kleine Gruppen liegen uns besonders am Herzen, genau damit jeder Gast das persönliche Erlebnis bekommt, das Sie so schön beschreiben. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei einer unserer Touren begrüßen zu dürfen! Ninja Food Tours Team
Kei ji was a great tour guide! Very personable and showed us some great spots. We had an amazing time at the fish market.
Thank you so much, Valerie! We're thrilled to hear that Keiji made such a great impression and that you had an amazing time exploring the fish market together. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Taiga was amazing! We had so much fun. Not only did he take us to wonderful food spots that we never would have found on our own, but all of the fun stories of the history and culture helped us get such a great picture of the Tsukiji Market and Tokyo. We learned a lot and had a fabulous time doing it. He gave us so many recommendations for other restaurants and shopping tailored to what we like. Highly recommend this tour and Taiga as a guide!
Honestly, reading this brought such a smile to all of us — thank you for taking the time. Taiga genuinely loves the Tsukiji history and the stories behind every stall, so it's wonderful to hear that came through. The tailored recommendations afterward are something he takes a lot of pride in too. So grateful you came out with us. Until next time! — The Ninja Food Tours team
