Okonomiyaki Food Experiences(26)

It was a great experience. Ayako is a gracious and knowledgeable guide and went out of her way to accommodate all our needs and requests. Thank you, Ayako!!

Sugoi! We had an absolute blast on Shizuka's Harajuku Tour! She is incredibly experienced and genuine, and her smile and laughter showed her wonderful personality. She was so patient with us, guiding us through numerous food stalls and entertainment outlets, each with its own unique charm and history. The food we tried was "Oishi" and plentiful. We're already looking forward to joining her on more tours in the future without any hesitation. This experience was definitely one of the highlights of our trips to Japan, and we've been there five times! Keep up the great work that you are doing and "Mata Ne" Shizzy.

Title: Tokyo Family-Friendly Night Out in Shibuya From start to finish, the experience was a fusion of warmth, humour, and culinary discovery. Our host, Keika, was the heart of the tour, radiating hospitality and knowledge with every step. Her passion for Japanese cuisine was infectious, and her shared interest in Australian culture & travel meant the conversation flowed with shared stories from across the world. The culinary aspect of the tour was a true feast for the senses. We savoured a fab array of dishes, from delicious okonomiyaki to scrumptious takoyaki ending with a sweet treat of ice cream Japanese style. The drinks & laughter flowed while we all took turns to prepare our okonomiyaki. After dinner, Keika guided us across Tokyo's legendary Scramble Crossing & through the maze of flashing lights and buzzing sounds to one of Tokyo's many game arcades. Attempts to win a prize were hilarious but the group photo booth capture was the highlight of the night! Above all, it was the genuine warmth and hospitality of our host, Keika that made this tour so much fun! Keika offered a perfect blend of culinary exploration and cultural immersion & making every moment memorable. Thank you Keika!

This was an amazing experience! Tomoko-sensei is extremely kind and speaks perfect English. She emailed us in advance to ask about our interests and adjusted the class to match. The setting was intimate and beautiful. Our class had just 2 participants and I think she said she limits participants to 4, so you will receive very personal attention. Tomoko-sensei taught us how to make 8 different dishes, some of which were not on the schedule, but just came up in conversation. She also took the time to answer our questions and make sure we understood how to cook these dishes. She provided recipes so that we can cook these dishes at home. Of course, the resulting food was delicious. The nature walk at the start of the class was also lovely.

Shizuka's professional preparation, selection of places, and personality made an exceptional tour. The tour also included places that weren't food-oriented which made it fun. The highlight was the self-made okonomiyaki and the gacha site. We travel to Japan every year. I hope to take another tour with Shizuka in another neighborhood. Thank you, Shizuka!!!
