日本 味噌汤 美食之旅

What a wonderful food tour! Gil, our guide had deep knowledge of all the hidden gems, stories of the locations and the food and people were great! Would highly recommend Gil and byfood for the wonderful experience!

Tour was quick and informative. The lunch afterwards was delicious and very filling, and the dining are was very peaceful with a beautiful view of a garden. We also got T-shirt's, an apron, and a jar of the 3 year miso. Would definitely recommend to experience!

Our guide, Nicola, did a great job explaining the Geisha district and its history and culture. He appropriately adapted the pace for our mobility-challenged guest. The family-run izakaya for dinner had tasty, local food and sake. I would recommend!

Great informative tour. Guide was very helpful and responsive with my pre tour questions. Also enjoyed the opportunity to “taste test” the different kinds of tuna sashimi.

Myself, my husband, and my teenage son enjoyed this tour thoroughly. Masa-san along with two other guides were so warm and knowledgeable. It was no doubt one of our top highlights of our Japan trip. We laughed so much because everybody were so happy and had such a great sense of humor. We laughed through matcha and miso and lunch and castle and history. We learned so much and had so much fun doing it. Such a wonderful place with such kind people. I hope to come back with my daughter soon! Thank you so much Masa-san and your colleagues!!! 🙏

The tour is free if you come to the factory on your own but we enjoyed hearing about the process of making miso from the 6th generation of the founding family. Lunch was delicious and we received t-shirts and jars of miso as gifts. Maybe not worth the price but we had fun anyway.

The day trip with Tako was fantastic and delightful! Before the tour, she already shared many insights and detailed instructions on how to get to the meeting point. She was ever so curious, and we had no problem at all finding newer and newer topics to discuss about each other's cultures. The program is well-organised, and Tako has prepared additional materials to demonstrate Japanese culture – we learned so much about the blend of Shinto and Buddhism, sake and soy sauce making, the history of the country trails, and more. The ladies at the temple were charming, friendly, helpful, and generous. I felt so lucky and grateful to get to meet them and the story behind building such a strong community. We ate the best vegetarian menu set in Japan, with beautiful plating, which they guided us through each step. 🍱 I highly recommend this day trip to anyone who wants to move farther from the main tourist attractions to get indulged with more local stories, which may or may not include a half-eyed frog. 🐸 Thank you, Taki, for the experience! ✨

We enjoyed a wonderful tour visiting nishio with all the highlights such as a matcha factory tour, making matcha, visiting tea fields, traditional lunch in a traditional japenese restaurant, a miso factory and making our own miso, the castle and a japanese tea house. Masa was the best tour guide accompanied by a member of the tourism center of nishio. They were very friendly, experienced and welcoming. We learned so much about japan and all the specialities of nishio and can truly recommend booking this tour. It is a highlight of our trip to japan and we will always remember this day.

I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a more personalised experience. My husband and I were travelling with our 3 young adult daughters. We are all "foodies", and my daughters are very keen on Matcha. We had looked at other tours offered in more "touristy" regions such as Kyoto and Uji. The Nishio tour was far better value for money and avoided the crowds. This took us to a region in Japan that we might not have looked at without being drawn there by the Matcha tour. This tour gives a detailed look at Matcha production from farm to finished product. It's very informative and wonderful opportunity to purchase high grade product. It also provides instruction on how to correctly make Matcha tea, with a knowledgeable teacher. The extra bonus of this tour is the visit to the Miso producer. The generations old Miso barrels and learning about its production, then being able to take the finished product home. The price of the tour also included a delicious, quality, Japanese lunch. They also managed to squeeze in some sightseeing and history of the area, with a quick museum visit and another tea and sweets in a traditional teahouse. There is so much included in this tour to mention it all. Through all of this we were expertly guided by our two welcoming, friendly, very knowledgeable local guides. They were very patient and flexible and clearly enjoyed being able to share the best of Nishio with us. We wish we had time to explore more of the Nishio region.

Our food tour with lovely guide Sue was perfect! We could taste all famous dishes from Osaka!

We had such a great time! It was just my husband and myself, but we were kept easily entertained by the guides along the way. We were taught how to drink matcha as part of a tea ceremony and then brought to a miso park and got to take miso home. Tour of the castle grounds was beautiful. All in all a wonderful experience we will recommend to all we know.

There was some misunderstanding with tour guide, who didn't show up, but we got tour from person who runs the miso plant and had incredible lunch
