Aki took us to a part of Tokyo I would not have seen otherwise, down narrow streets packed with restaurants and bars, some of them under the train tracks. Delicious sake, sashimi, grilled meat, ramen and a friendly and personable host. Seeing a tiny bar with friendly customers was a highlight. Come very hungry!

It's an exceptional opportunity for every foodie to watch, how mochi is pounding. Even more so to participate in it! We really enjoyed the interesting insights, and discovering the whole process – not to mention the unique deliciousness of the fresh mochi. We could even try four different types of it! The organisation of the whole event was very smooth: easy communication, clear itinerary, friendly and nice hosts, professional chef by the soup making (actually, it was a complete lunch), lot of further tips and informations on the traditional Japanese cuisine. Marie, our host is actually an advocate of the fermentation and traditional way of cooking ("washoku"), so she has a broader point of view on this topic. Through her experience, we could also get a deeper understanding on the usage of the ingredients and their health effects. It was a pleasure to meet her and participating on this experience. I would warmly recommend to all food lovers and enthusiasts! (The location is within reachable distance of many famous sake breweries and also not far from the Fushimi-inari shrine. So you can schedule nicely into your plans.)

Fun way to experience the market and try some new foods. Having visited markets in Tokyo and Osaka prior, we didn’t expect to be surprised but our guide catered the tour to our taste/experience and we had a great time.

Explore Japan with Gluten-Free Tofu Food Tours

Japan is a land of rich flavors and diverse culinary traditions, and for those seeking food experiences tailored to specific dietary needs, options abound. Specifically, gluten-free enthusiasts have a treat waiting for them with specialized tofu food tours across Japan. These tours offer an immersive gastronomic journey, highlighting the flexibility and delights of tofu dishes that are not only gluten-free but also authentically Japanese.

Tofu is a cornerstone of Japanese cuisine, lauded for its versatility and nutritional benefits. It acts as the perfect canvas for a wide array of flavors, textures, and preparations. On a gluten-free tofu food tour, visitors can explore tofu in its various forms: silky soft tofu, firm tofu, yuba (tofu skin), and even tofu desserts. Each variety provides a unique taste and dining experience, celebrating the simple yet profound elegance of this soybean product.

These tours take you to some of the most iconic gastronomic regions in Japan, from the bustling food markets of Tokyo to the rustic charm of Kyoto's traditional tea houses. Participants enjoy not only tasting tofu-based dishes but also learning the artistic techniques involved in tofu making. Whether it's experiencing the tender texture of aburaage (fried tofu) or savoring the rich depth of miso soup with tofu, every stop on the tour is a learning experience replete with stories behind this fascinating ingredient.

Customizing Your Gluten-Free Experience

Food tours that offer gluten-free options are meticulously curated to ensure that all meal components are prepared without gluten-containing ingredients. This thoughtful approach ensures that gluten-sensitive travelers can enjoy the tour without concern. From meticulous attention to soy sauce variations—using tamari to ensure a gluten-free certification—to ensuring that no wheat-based products are included in the broths and marinades, these tours promise meals that adhere to strict gluten-free standards.

One of the highlights of these food tours is the first-hand experience of preparing tofu dishes yourself. Engage in interactive cooking sessions where expert chefs guide participants through the intricate process of making homemade tofu from scratch. This not only serves as a fun activity but also offers invaluable insights into the traditional culinary techniques that have been passed down through generations.

Ultimately, a gluten-free tofu tour in Japan is about more than just the food. It’s an enriching cultural experience that deepens your understanding of Japan’s love for tofu. These tours allow travelers to unlock the secrets of Japanese cooking and bring back delightful recipes that merge health-conscious choices with delicious eats.
