Tokyo Omakase Sushi Experience with Personal Chef
Dining Experiences
Such a beautiful experience. The interior of the cafe was filled with blue and white hydrangeas with white furniture. The blue and white theme continued with the incredibly beautiful afternoon tea. All sorts of small treats with a selection of teas. Stunning presentation. It was the highlight of the trip to Tokyo with my daughter. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

Incredible experience. Chef had limited English so we conversed using google translate. Food was fantastic, including the items other than the Kobe beef. The asparagus soup stood out especially. Will recommend to all I know going through Japan.

Luxurious Kobe Beef Teppanyaki Course in Kobe En Steakhouse
Dining Experiences
The Kobe tour was amazing!! We learned so much about the town and got a beautiful scenic view at the end of the walking tour. We finished with some delicious food including Kobe beef cooked Teppanyaki style. Sumile was an amazing guide and we really enjoyed talking with her along the tour and learning more about Japanese culture. She has a wealth of information to share with you and is the sweetest person!! Highly recommend taking this tour, if you are not planning to stay in Kobe it is an easy day trip from Osaka.

For gourmands looking to truly indulge, Japan offers some outstanding opportunities. Bejeweled with more Michelin-starred cities than any other country on earth, it’s arguably the best place on earth to splash out on some premium fine dining. Centuries of home-grown tradition has gone into developing the unique culinary culture of Japan, while in more modern times the country’s adventurous chefs have spread across the globe to master cuisines from far and wide.
In short, you’re not short options for premium dining in Japan. You could take it ultra-traditional with a high-class ryōtei meal, where you’ll be served a traditional kaiseki multi-course meal in a private tatami mat room, looking out over serene private gardens. Or if you’re looking for something a little more modern, why not try the wagyu beef steakhouses of Ginza, or outlets from some of the biggest names in European gastronomy like Joël Robuchon Tokyo.
Whatever you’re looking for, Japan has an outstanding lineup of sushi savants, wagyu wizards, and international experts on standby to serve your every need. With byFoods range of premium dining restaurants in Japan, you’ll be able to land a seat at their tables with just a few clicks.
