Tokiko was an amazing guide through our tour of Shibuya. She made sure we were comfortable and doing ok our entire tour. We had our 19 month old daughter along with us. And she fell in love with Tokiko. The food was delicious, and the information was very useful for the rest of our stay in Japan. Each location provided us with a great portion size that was the perfect amount for walking around in the hot weather. We can’t thank Tokiko enough, and would completely recommend her and the tour to all.

The Tuna cutting event I attended was an amazing experience that I highly recommend. Not only does the staff and chef explain the process of cutting up the fish but also tells you how the fish was raised and the process it’s takes to get it to their restaurant. The staff and chef were very knowledgeable and kind and I left this event very full since it was an all you can eat and drink event. 10/10 Arigatō!

The Best Food Tours in Tokyo

Tokyo is home to some of the finest sushi restaurants in the world. Tokyo has it all if you're looking for a Michelin-starred establishment or a humble sushi-ya tucked away in a narrow alley. The sushi here is prepared with the utmost precision and attention to detail, using the freshest ingredients sourced from local and international waters. From the rich, fatty cuts of tuna to the delicate flavors of uni (sea urchin), every bite of sushi in Tokyo is a revelation. Now, where to start? From bayside fish markets to a Tokyo street food tour, the best sushi in Tokyo won’t be hard to come by.

Another must-try food experience in Tokyo is ramen. This beloved noodle dish has a cult following in the city, with countless ramen shops scattered throughout its neighborhoods. Each shop boasts its own unique style and flavor, from the rich and creamy tonkotsu (pork bone) broth to the spicy and tangy miso broth. Slurping a piping hot bowl of ramen in a cozy shop is an experience that will warm both your body and soul.

The Best Street Food in Tokyo

Tokyo is also a haven for street food enthusiasts, but where to find the best street food in Tokyo? If you’re eager to get in, a walking food tour through the bustling streets of Shibuya or Shinjuku will serve you well. Here you'll find energetic food stalls offering an array of delectable treats. Takoyaki, a popular street food snack, consists of small, savory balls filled with diced octopus, topped with tangy sauce, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes. Yakitori, skewered and grilled chicken, is another favorite, with various cuts and flavors available, including succulent chicken thighs and crispy chicken skin. Going in search of these street food delights allows you to immerse yourself in the vibrant food culture of Tokyo and interact with friendly vendors, making it one of the best food tours for solo travelers. Another great way to taste Japanese street food is by joining a bar-hopping tour in Tokyo, which will take you to several Japanese bars and pubs.

The market's vibrant atmosphere and diverse offerings make it a treasure trove for foodies and bargain hunters.
