Vegetarian Food Experiences

The tour was great and our guide Sam was kind and knowledgable about the area. While we were aware of many of the dishes we tried, it was nice to get the history and backstory of the various items. Highly recommend for your first night in Osaka!

We had a great time on the tour. Mario was an entertaining guide with a wealth of knowledge.

Lovely and educational Experience I booked the Vegan Shojin Ryori Buddhist Cuisine Cooking Class because I was interested in something different than Sushi, Ramen or Gyoza which many people offer in Tokyo. I am very glad I did because I could spent a few hours with Yuka who is an excellent host and teacher! I learned quite a lot about Shojin Ryori as we cooked a handful of dishes together. Especially the Sesame Tofu is something I can now do with confidence at home! As I also booked the trip to the supermarket with Yuka she could show me all the ingredients needed for the dishes we did prepare together. Not to mention I brought many of those home with me! I also would like to mention that Yuka’s English is very good and I quite enjoyed spending the time with her as she can teach you a lot and has many stories to tell. Also do not be afraid that the cooking course is a bit further away from the City center. I quite enjoyed walking around in Setagaya which is quite cozy compared to busy Shibuya, Shinjuk etc. All in all a lovely and educational experience which also was very authentic as we did cook in Yukas cozy home kitchen!

Reina was an excellent guide, very informative and friendly!

I had a wonderful time tasting sushi and yakitori (and more delicious sushi) with Hiro. 100% recommend for the cozy, lively and not-super-touristy spots that we visited. Very accommodating to your preferences and dietary needs, should you have them. Would definitely do it again!

I really loved learning to cook with Yoshi and Amo. We felt right at home with them. The food was delicious and the recipies were easy to follow. With this cooking class, you can bring a little of Japan home with you. Don’t hesitate to go. Marielle, Montreal, Canada

One of the Highlights of Our Trip to Japan! My wife and I took the Harajuku Sweets and Street Food Tour with Shizuka Anderson back in May, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. We had such an amazing time with Shizuka. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to be around, and by the end of the tour it honestly felt like we were exploring Harajuku with a friend. One of the things we really enjoyed was getting to talk with Shizuka about DAN DA DAN and our love of the show. We even had fun getting toys from the gacha vending machines, which made the experience even more memorable. The food was fantastic, but what made the tour special was getting to experience places and foods that we probably wouldn't have found on our own. One of our favorite experiences was making okonomiyaki at a local hidden-gem restaurant. It was such a fun experience, and getting to make it ourselves while enjoying the atmosphere made it something we'll remember. Shizuka did an amazing job bringing everything together- great food, Japanese culture, local experiences, and plenty of laughs along the way. She was also incredibly easy to talk to and made the entire tour feel relaxed and personal. We still talk about this experience when remembering our trip to Japan. If you're visiting Tokyo and want to experience Harajuku in a way that goes beyond the typical tourist attractions, I highly recommend booking this tour with Shizuka. Thank you, Shizuka

We totally recommend Morimi's lessons! She is very nice and the lessons very interesting, and the dishes so tasty!

Our time with Hiro was absolutely lovely. The food he took us to eat food that was simply delicious and was able to cater to my wife who has celiac. He is very knowledgeable, and the tour after the dinner was very fun and educating. He took us to see the nicest parts of Gion which were very beautiful.He made our first day in Kyoto an absolute blast and gave us a taste for more. Would definitely recommend this, it was perfect
