Super Great time with Bruce, he ensured the evening stayed joyful, fun and engaging! It was not awkward and he was insightful, friendly and made us feel so welcomed! His warm and knowledgable approach made the food tour amazing for my family and I. Take note, I had 3 elderly and 5 adults! He managed it all with grace and poise and I thank you again for an evening to remember, SEE YOU AGAIN BRUCE! thank you

Learning directly from a multi-generation producer was truly special. The emphasis on tradition and umami gave me a deeper appreciation of Japanese cuisine. Trying the process myself made the experience very hands-on. Everything was well organized and informative. Highly recommended when exploring Shizuoka’s food culture.

Seeing how katsuobushi is made was fascinating and unique. Shaving it by hand made me realize how much skill is required. The explanations were clear and engaging. The factory visit offered rare behind-the-scenes access. A memorable experience for Japanese food enthusiasts.

I was lucky enough to be the only person on the night I went so basically had a private tour with Bruce. He certainly proved his knowledge of the Fukuoka food scene - we were, due to unforeseen circumstances, in a different area to where we were originally due to meet but this didn't put Bruce off, we were still able to sample excellent food at a number of fantastic locations. Definitely a recommended tour.

Bruce and Ling were great, knowledgeable guides! We booked the izakaya and ramen tour and they showed us some great hidden spots we never would have thought to visit, and the food was excellent. Recommend booking a tour at the start of your stay in Fukuoka so they can provide other recommendations for restaurants and sites to visit.

It was great meeting Bruce; the conversation was easy. It was interesting to hear his perspective, as he has lived in Japan for nearly forty years. The restaurants we visited were top-notch. Both were off the beaten path; it is difficult to imagine finding them on my own.

If I could give Bruce thousands of stars for a review I would! Bruce texted us in the USA shortly after we booked our food tour. He continued to check in on us several times before our tour. When we met Bruce in person he seemed like a long lost friend. He is fluent in English and Japanese. My husband uses a cane and he made sure the walking wasn’t too much for him. We started our tour in a quaint restaurant that he made a reservation for. It’s one of those places that you would NEVER find unless you knew it was there. We enjoyed salad, sashimi and fried chicken. It was all AMAZING!!! We finished our evening at a Hakata ramen restaurant. Really good! The next morning he texted us to wish us well on a day trip we had planned. I told him we had to cancel because I lost my medication on our travels. Without it I get physically ill. Not only did Bruce find me a doctor to get my medication. He actually picked me and my husband up at our hotel!!! After I got my meds, we all went to lunch and finished the afternoon at the Fukuoka gyoza festival! We will NEVER forget his kindness and caring as well as an amazing culinary experience. I feel as though we made a friend for life and will return to Fukuoka someday😊

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!

Pescetarian Food Tours with Flavorful Dashi

In the world of gastronomy, finding a perfect balance between health, ethics, and taste can be challenging. Fortunately, for those who embrace a pescetarian lifestyle, Japan offers a culinary haven. Here, the food tours are specially curated for pescetarians, highlighting the artful use of dashi, a staple that enhances the umami flavor in many traditional Japanese dishes. Embark on a remarkable journey through Japan's bustling food scene, designed to indulge your taste buds while respecting your dietary choices.

Discover the Rich Tradition of Dashi

Dashi is a traditional Japanese stock that forms the backbone of countless dishes. Made with simple ingredients such as kombu (dried kelp) and bonito flakes (dried fish), dashi is celebrated for its rich umami profile. Those who choose our pescetarian dashi food tours will explore various locations where this essential component is used in innovative ways, from warming bowls of miso soup to the delicate flavors of chawanmushi (Japanese egg custard). Each stop on the tour offers unique insights into how dashi is integrated into diverse culinary creations, establishing a profound connection between ancient traditions and modern culinary art.

Unique Pescetarian Delights Await

Our food tours tickle your fancy with an array of pescetarian-friendly options. These tours take you through some of the most renowned food districts where seafood and vegetables reign supreme in Japanese cuisine. Experience the unparalleled freshness of sashimi, relish in piping hot bowls of ramen made with rich seafood broth, and savor the delicate textures of sushi, all enhanced by the sublime essence of dashi. Additionally, interact with seasoned chefs who are eager to share the nuances of preparing and utilizing dashi in exciting ways. Troubleshooting techniques for making perfect dashi at home will also be a part of the culinary education you receive. Each food tour is not just a feast for the senses, but an opportunity to learn and appreciate a culture that cherishes quality ingredients and expert preparation.

If you are someone who loves exploring the world through a pescetarian lens, enriched with dashi flavors, then these food tours are perfect for you. Immerse yourself in Japan's culinary magic, discover the secrets of dashi, and delight in dishes that align with your dietary preferences. Whether you are a seasoned traveler or a food enthusiast, these tours promise an experience you will savor long after it's over.
