Akito-san is a very kind, handsome and knowledgeable guide, who can show and explain to you in precise English the whole tea-making process and answer all questions directly in the teafarm. The outdoor-teatasting and the encounter with a friendly teafarmer is exceptional.

Ueno Food Tour: Sushi, Ramen, Gyoza & Yakitori
Food Tours
What a wonderful experience this tea-themed tour was! From the moment we arrived, the tour team greeted us warmly, setting the stage for an enjoyable evening. The first restaurant truly stood out, with carefully crafted snacks and dishes that were as delicious as they were thoughtfully prepared. The tea-infused cocktails, beautifully presented, were a highlight – both delicate in flavor and visually stunning. The second stop was equally impressive. The unique menu, flavorful drinks, and the welcoming atmosphere made it feel special. However, we did feel that a bit more food would have made it perfect for an evening tour. Either a later start time or more dishes would be ideal, allowing participants to fully enjoy the experience without feeling hungry. Since tea is the main theme, more information about the teas and the places we visited would also add extra depth. Overall, it was a delightful, atmospheric tour that left us with great memories. At 20,000 yen, the price feels fair for what’s offered, but with a few tweaks, it could be even better. I’d highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking a unique, tea-infused culinary adventure!""

Tea and Drinks: Tokyo Tea-Based Izakaya Bars Tour

We enjoyed the delicious snacks and the variety of food and cocktail combinations. The cocktails had a nice, subtle tea flavor and weren’t too strong, though some might find them a bit weak. The transportation was well-organized, and the second venue had a wonderful atmosphere with friendly staff and unique, tasty cocktails. It'd be great if the guide could share more about tea during the tour and provide additional information about the areas we visited, like Gakugei Daigaku and Daikanyama! Thank you for a great experience! We really enjoyed it.

Discover the Elegance of Japanese Tea Culture

Embark on an enchanting journey to explore the sophisticated world of Japanese tea through our expertly curated food tours. Japanese tea is more than just a beverage; it's a cultural experience that has been refined over centuries. Each sip tells a story, a tale that begins long before the tea reaches your cup.

Whether you are a seasoned tea connoisseur or a curious beginner, these tours are designed to leave you with a deeper appreciation for the art of Japanese tea.

Explore Varieties of Japanese Tea

Japan offers an impressive range of teas, each with its own distinct characteristics and flavors. From the robust and grassy aroma of matcha to the delicate and floral notes of sencha, there is a tea to suit every palate. Our food tours give you the opportunity to sample these varieties in authentic settings. You'll be introduced to lesser-known teas like hojicha, with its roasted flavor, or genmaicha, a blend of green tea and roasted brown rice. Learn about the farming methods and climates that contribute to the diversity of these teas as you savor every drop. Our experienced guides ensure that you not only taste but also understand the crafting process of each tea, turning a simple sip into an enlightening experience.

Culinary Delights Alongside Japanese Tea

No Japanese tea experience is complete without pairing it with exquisite culinary offerings. Our food tours often include tastings of traditional Japanese delicacies that complement the flavor profiles of different teas. Indulge in sweet treats such as wagashi, crafted to enhance the bitterness of matcha, or explore savory snacks that bring out the umami notes of your favorite brew. By the end of the tour, you'll gain a well-rounded experience that combines the delicate art of tea tasting with traditional Japanese gastronomy. This balance of flavors and textures not only enhances your overall enjoyment but provides a greater insight into the cultural aesthetics that define Japanese culinary traditions.
