Kyoto Pescetarian Dining Experiences(3)

Hirosh was an exceptional guide. He made us feel completely comfortable in the restaurants that he chose for us. He was engaging and we really enjoyed his company. He explained all about the food and its culture. We would highly recommend him to others.

Our tour guide in Kyoto, Hiro, went above and beyond by not only leading us through the culinary delights of the city but also taking us on a post-food tour, capturing wonderful photos of our group that we were thrilled about. His dedication to ensuring a memorable experience truly made our time in Kyoto unforgettable.

We had a magical evening with Nadja. We learned a lot about Fugu, japanese Cuisine in general and the Gion district. The tour was really informing and we even saw two Geishas (who are called Geikos in Kyoto, what we learned now). Nadja has a sparkling personality and shared her fascination for Japan with us with exciting explanations. Beeing a chef herself she could not only share her knowledge about the way of japanese cooking and all the special ingredients/techniques but also about the local working life, which was super interesting too. The Fugu was unbelievably tasty. It was so fresh that the muscle were still shivering. We have never seen something like that before. Some parts were boiled directly in front of us, that was spectacular just as incinerating hot sake, that was served with Fugu fins in it. What a show! The three hours passed like a blink of an eye, and we went home with our bellys full with delicious Fugu and our minds full of fascination for Kyoto.

This tour was absolutely wonderful because of our particular guide, Sae. She developed a great spirit amongst the participants and educated us all in a gentle manner. We had a terrific time.

Hiro was an fun and knowledgeable guide. He delivered exactly what we were looking for, a locals take on Kyoto. He was fun and a great conversationalist. He was able to easily make adjustments for food allergies. We would recommend him and his tours for anyone travelling to Kyoto.
