Thank you to Aki for providing our group of 4 a wonderful food sampling tour. I am a celiac and was very pleased that you were able to accommodate me. I know finding gluten free options is not always the easiest thing to do in Japan! Our group enjoyed the eclectic and interesting food choices! Thank you for providing the history of the area and interesting facts about Japan. It really added to the enjoyment of our time. We wish you all of the success in your food adventures, your future guest will undoubtably be extremely happy with their time with you!

Aki is a fantastic tour guide and we had a great time on the tour. He took us to several local spots that we would not have otherwise known about, and each spot had delicious food and drinks. He also gave a lot of background information about the local culture and was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour!

It was great and a lot of explanation was given. We learned a lot about the history and culture of the historical Kyoto neighbourhood. We have tasted very nice sake, beer and yakkitori food and the hosts/guides did a great job! Kind regards, Bruno, Flo and Vincent

Anya was a great guide and showed my group some amazing Sake distilleries in Fushimi. We all enjoyed the tour along with the yakitori at the end. We bought multiple bottles of sake that we tried along the way. Would defiantly recommend this tour for anyone interested in sake or would like to visit some local locations.

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!
