美食之旅

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.

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!

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

The ramen tour was amazing and Hiroshi was a great host!

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

We had a wonderful evening with Hiroshi. Really chill guy !

A wonderfully eye-opening experience from Akito, where he not only taught us about tea, from growing it all the way to preparing it, but also talked about the state and future of the tea industry in Shizuoka and Japan as a whole. Between visiting the fields, touring a rare co-op factory, and tasting a variety of teas, we were impressed not only by Akito's knowledge about tea and the local area, but also the skill with which he was able to craft the perfect cup, dialing in the temperature and infusions with just his senses. A true master! Whether you have a burgeoning curiosity about tea or already a seasoned lover, this tour is a must!

We walked around the market and saw fishmongers at work, while turret trucks were moving around. It felt like a hidden part of the world , but the atmosphere was incredibly lively and energetic. I was amazed by the incredible variety of fish. Each ingredient is handled with great care and attention to detail. Our hosts, Paco and Alessio, were also super knowledgeable and gave us interesting explanations about the names of the fish and how to properly handle each ingredient. They are both passionate about food, with a broad understanding of Japanese food culture. My favorite part of this experience was learning why Japanese people have such a deep connection with fish and how fish has been an important part of Japanese food culture and everyday life. I highly recommend this experience. A must-join experience for anyone interested in Japanese food culture!

What a wonderful host and experience with Bruce! He’s super personable and we enjoyed the unique yatai he selected for us!

Shizuka Anderson's Harajuku Sweets and Street Food Tour was Fabulous! First, I want to say that since I had a knee problem, Shizuka was very helpful, caring, and accommodating - Shizuka was very patient and gave much-appreciated advice to ease my walking during the food tour. As for the tasty gems our tour group had at several shops along the way, the street food was delicious, including both the sweet and savory items, most notably the fried chicken on a stick and the small pancakes with ice cream. The restaurant that was our final stop had terrific Japanese food and drinks. I love how Shizuka not only prepared and explained the several very delicious dishes at our table but allowed me and the other food tour members to prepare the various foods. Shizuka is a terrific teacher - as well as very personable and a lot of fun - who made the restaurant experience like a very lively cooking class! It was a very pleasant surprise! I can't believe how the time flew by so quickly for the entire tour! In closing, I Most Highly recommend Shizuka Anderson's Harajuku Sweets and Street Food Tour! The food tour price is well worth it! If I'm ever in Tokyo again, I would love to take Shizuka's food tour for a second time - or any other food tour Shizuka may have! I wish I could give more than 5 stars for the Tour ....10 + stars!! And 10 + stars for Shizuka being such a lovely, very fun host!! 🙂

Alessio and Paco were fantastic guides. They have great relationships with the shops inside Toyosu Market and shared fascinating stories about the fish, while helping us choose what we wanted to eat. They’re both fun, friendly, and very easy to talk to. After shopping, we took our fish to their restaurant, where Chef Paco cooked it for us for an amazing dining experience. Since you can’t access the market’s restricted areas on your own, this is a fantastic way to experience the real Toyosu Market and enjoy incredible seafood. Highly recommended!
