We had the absolute pleasure of being guided by truly incredible guide, Kaori. From the moment we met her, Kaori was warm, welcoming, and so accommodating—especially to my older parents, making sure they felt comfortable throughout the walk. She was incredibly thoughtful, often checking in with them and adjusting the pace so everyone could enjoy the experience fully. It’s rare to find a guide who brings that level of care and attentiveness, and it truly meant the world to us. Kaori’s knowledge of Tsukiji was deep and fascinating, but what stood out even more was how she brought the market to life with her passion and storytelling. One of the highlights of the tour was when she took us behind one of the food stalls to show us how tamago is made—a truly special, behind-the-scenes peek that we never could’ve experienced on our own. Watching the process up close and hearing about the craft behind it was fascinating and really highlighted the beauty of Japanese culinary culture. And of course, the food itself was beyond delicious. Kaori introduced us to some of the best bites in the market, but the standout had to be the melt-in-your-mouth wagyu skewers—so juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every stop felt curated and intentional, and Kaori always made sure we had the best possible experience with each dish. Thank you, Kaori, for giving us a truly memorable day filled with laughter, learning, and lots of amazing food. You’re a treasure!
