そば 食の体験

Fabulous food tour with history and background of the neighborhood. We enjoyed making new friends with the other guests and our guide.

Our guide Tak was great! We had so much fun walking around Kyoto and trying the different kinds of food. At the end of the tour, we asked him to direct us to a particular shop we were looking for. Not only did he take us there, he also stayed after to make sure we did not have issues with communication! Thanks for your help Tak!

Such a lovely guide. We learned so much about Kyoto! Loved the tour but would have loved to learn more about the food particular to Kyoto.

Russ and H were great and the food was amazing

Our guide, Eduardo was really great! We had so much fun and tasted so many local dishes that we hadn’t tried. We had sweets for the kids and adults, tried food at different restaurants with sake and drinks and Eduardo gave us some history on the Gion and Pontocho districts as well as so much information about Kyoto that was really interesting. He was an excellent guide and I highly recommend this tour. Thanks Eduardo!

Sae was our guide and she was amazing. She knew the intricate history of the whole area. She picked fantastic restaurants for our dishes which included the best Ramen we have had In Japan. She made my son feel so special because she picked foods that she knew he would like. This is a food and history tour. Come ready to eat!

Great guide, beautiful night, and a great way to start our tour of Japan. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a “first night” experience in Kyoto, as not only does the walking tour feel good after the long flight, the introduction to language and etiquette has proven useful during our time in Japan.

Our group of 6 had a wonderful tour of Uji on April 7! With excellent English, Terumi S. led the tour which focused on a wide variety of Matcha and Green Tea experiences. We especially liked Terumi putting tea-making in Japan in context by pointing out the differences as we went along. Even though it was raining we were able to do all of the activities indoors. I especially liked the tea ceremony where the women were in full kimono dress with Terumi translating the ritual. She went the extra mile to get us to our next appointment by riding the train with us and showing us the connection! Arigato for an exceptional tour!

We had a wonderful experience with Michie who spoke fluent English and was very knowledgeable of the area and food. Our daughter is Coeliac and Michie made sure she was able to have gluten free safe options. Would recommend to anyone with dietary restrictions.

I really enjoyed my Flavors of Japan food tour. We toured the Nihombashi area in Tokyo in April with Ramona and Mandy. They were charming and well informed about both the area and Japanese food. They took us to speciality stores and explained about the importance of regional food, we could try some of the products. The lunch we ate was delightful! Can't remember the name of the restaurant. This tour was so enjoyable with great tour guides. Mandy and Ramona didn't make us hurry so the tour ended up being longer than it advertised.

I had an awesome time on this tour! Great opportunity to make new friends while chatting and eating so many dishes! Alex was our guide, really fun and energetic company. He had a great approach to doing the tour. He was open and generous, this tour was a fantastic first time experience coming to Tokyo and Japan.

This tour was a combination of a walking and food tour. Lauren was our guided and it was a very fun and interactive experience. Lauren gave lots of unique insight into the city and information about Japanese culture. She was a great guide and a lovely person, great to get to know and definitely made the tour worth our while. The food was delicious and really filling (probably more than enough) so I would suggest that you arrive on an empty stomach. Once and a life time experience you don't want to miss out on!
