Fukuoka 미식 프로그램

We had a great experience with lovely Chihiro and her husband! Chihiro explained all aspects in an understandable way. Watching her prepare the tea was very relaxing and trying it out ourselves was fun and rewarding. We are thankful for the time spent and memories made together. I am recommending it to everyone as it is a essential part of Japanese tradition.

We had a fantastic experience at the yatai stalls with Bruce! He was incredibly welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole experience really enjoyable. The food was delicious, and it was a brilliant opportunity to try some authentic local dishes while learning more about Japanese food and culture. Bruce made us feel at ease from the start and went above and beyond to make the evening special. A real highlight of our time in Japan and something we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Fukuoka. Thank you, Bruce, for such a memorable evening!

It was a wonderful experience that I highly recommend. I got a great insight into Japanese cuisine and daily life. Saykaks was very hospitable and warm. The food was delicious and made for a great ending. I would book the cooking class again.

Bruce is delightful and a font of knowledge! The food was delicious and plentiful, and it was a fun and entertaining evening. The only reason I have dropped a star is the cost. I think it is a pricy food tour, having done many in various cities around the world. This shouldn’t discourage you from experiencing Bruce’s experience and conversation, and the delicious tatami food, if you are happy paying this price.

Bruce was amazing. So knowledgeable and friendly. We did a tour with him on our first night in Japan and it was like going out to dinner with a friend. A great experience. I would highly recommend

Great experience, thank you

Unforgettable night of yatai hopping with Bruce! ★★★★★ Our yatai food hopping tour was a highlight of our time in Fukuoka. Our guide Bruce was fantastic: relaxed, knowledgeable and clearly well connected with the stall owners. We started at a yatai run by a chef who's been cooking there with his wife for 35 years, now joined by their son. We had a comforting winter dashi broth, gooey bacon-wrapped rice cakes grilled to perfection (I could have eaten twenty), and noodles tossed on the grill plate and topped with bonito flakes. At our second stall we had our first ramen in Japan, lighter and cleaner than at home, paired with a citrus and honey beer, plus pork belly and chicken yakitori, a surprisingly tender, spicy beef tendon stew and hand-made gyoza. We even ended up chatting with some lovely locals sitting across from us. Bruce thought of everything, finishing the night by dropping us at the Ritz-Carlton rooftop bar and arranging our taxi home. Great food, great company and a real taste of local life. Highly recommend!

chihiro and her friend were excellent hosts. They were cheerful, kind and patient, possessing extensive knowledge about ceremonial tea practices while also communicating impressively in english.

We had such a great evening with Bruce! He was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us so much interesting information throughout the tour, while also sharing his own experiences and stories, which made everything feel much more personal. Bruce took us to three different Yatai spots, explaining the places, the food, and the culture along the way. The food he chose for us was amazing, and we really enjoyed every stop. We could have happily continued to more places, but unfortunately we weren’t feeling well enough to keep going. Beyond his knowledge, Bruce is simply a genuinely nice and fun person to spend an evening with. The whole experience felt relaxed, friendly, and authentic. We would absolutely recommend Bruce to anyone looking for a Yatai tour specialist in Fukuoka. We had a fantastic time and would happily come back for a follow-up tour with him next time!

The class was amazing, we had an amazing time learning about traditional Japanese food and how to make it. Sayaka, the instructor, was absolutely lovely, kind and talented. She also gave us a lot of great tips. 10/10, highly recommended.

What a wonderful host and experience with Bruce! He’s super personable and we enjoyed the unique yatai he selected for us!

Bruce was great nice food and introduction to Nakasu Tenjin area
