Tokyo Kosher Food Tours(10)

We booked this tour on a recent trip to Japan and it was quite nice. The location is a bit far from Tokyo, so anyone planning this should set aside a day for the round-trip, or plan to stay around the Okutama area. We did ours as a day trip. We met David at the train station and started our walk up to his small farm. The hike is doable but a decent climb uphill on maintained gravel trail. Once at the farm David shares a wealth of knowledge about wasabi, how it grows, how to farm it, and most importantly how to pick and enjoy it. We sat down with some warm tea and grated fresh wasabi which we were able to try on its own as well as with some roast beef. It was both an enjoyable and educational tour.

David was very knowledgeable about wasabi farming. We really enjoyed the scenery in Okutama and his farm tour !

It was an awesome experience to us. Even though we have been to Japan several times, we rarely got insight into the cultivation of such specific food like wasabi as we did with David. David is a nice guy who kindly explains to you not only everything you want to know about wasabi, but also about the town and the region in general. I recommend it to everyone who wants to learn something about rural Japan from an experienced farmer.

We had a wonderful time with David. He is very knowledgeable, welcoming and passionate about sharing the wasabi experience. We were a group of five including two 11yr olds. After trying fresh wasabi, both kids loved it and are converts! Highly recommended tour.

Eugene and Hiromi were wonderful guides. I had so much fun exploring the Shibuya area with them. The food we tried was delicious. Thanks for a fun evening!
