Shun was very eager to share his love and passion for Japanese alcohol. I was particularly happy to learn local way of drinking Sake with Dashi. This is the type of experience I am looking for and he did a great job bringing us to 3 hidden places.

Shun has incredible taste in food and has a deep knowledge about sake. I was the only person in this tour and he was able to tailor the tour to my requests. I asked to try some sake and eat what the locals eat. I'm deeply humbled by his knowledge and exposed how much I didn't know about Japnese cuisine and sake. First stop was a hidden izakaya where the proprietress served a style of food called obanzai, essentially drinking food if you come from a culture that has that concept (I'm Vietnamese, it's very familiar to me). We had a couple of shots of sake and enjoyed a conversation over the snack and sent me recommendations. We continued to a sale tasting where I discovered that had been ignoring an entire classification of sake due to my own ignorance as Shun explained each sake in the flight of sake served to me. We ended off the night with miso ramen from a local favorite ramen shop. My mind was blown and stomach was happy. My only suggestion for Shun is to carry a sign that says "Shun" or "By Food Tour". We arranged a meeting point, but didn't mention how to recognize him. Other than that, I wholly recommend Shun as a tour guide. I'll gladly book him again if I have some folks with me, they need to experience what I experienced!

Hiro was a great guide, happy to share his life story and his experiences that led him to Okinawa and his career. We are glad we had the opportunity to meet up with Hiro and enjoy some very good and off-the-tourist-beaten path to some solid Izakaya and delicious and unique Okinawan cuisine and treats. We would happily utilize Hiro’s services again and would readily recommend his skills and expertise to anyone seeking some insight and a fun and food-filled experience while in Okinawa!

What a fantastic experience. We met Bruce on a rainy evening and he still found us an excellent yatai where we enjoyed wagyu beef. Unagu (conger eel) tempura and other delicious dishes. Deciding the rain had eliminated some of our yatai choices we went hunting for other options - and found two off the hook gyoza restaurants. One was a favorite of Bruce and the other a recommendation from the Yatai chef. They were both excellent in different ways. We finished the evening with a delicious bowl of fukuoka's signature ramen and a pleasant walk home. Bruce's knowledge of all things food and Japan was impeccable and his ability to assist us in finding the best choices for our taste despite the weather was exceptional. 10 out of 10. Would recommend .

Bruce was awesome. So welcoming and knowledgeable about the area, having lived here for 40 years and counting. Not only did he bring us to Yatai stalls that were amazing, but he personally knew each and every owner like family. It really felt like going out with an old friend to all his favorite spot and introducing us to his friends. I would highly recommend and will definitely see him again when I come back to Fukuoka!
