麻糬 美食之旅(9)

This is the quintessential by food tour! My wife and I really enjoyed learning more about the culture and food. Harajuku is a fascinating fashion and youth culture district with amazing street foods. My first time trying Okonomiyaki and really enjoyed it. Perfect savory and sweet combination. Just a perfectly curated experience and of course Shizuka is fabulous! As long time viewers of the show it was just amazing to meet with her and enjoy great food and conversation.

Bruce was soo open, friendly, vibrant, knowledgeable and passionate about Yatai food culture. He really took the time to cater to our private tour. He really blew our minds wide open about how intensely delicious Yatai food can be. We really loved watching these Yatai owners skilfully and impressively cooked every dish. It was utterly mesmerising!! I highly recommend everyone to join Bruce for a Yatai food tour! 😃🤩🫶🏼 Thabk you sooo much Bruce for showing us an amazing time!

We enjoyed the yatai-hopping a lot! Great food, great guide who went the extra mile for us! Highly recommended!

Bruce is a terrific guide. Super knowledgeable about the yatai culture and Fukuoka in general. Highly recommended

Quick summary - it’s a wonderful experience and you won’t regret it! 10/10 and S+ tier If you’re a fan of Shizuka’s videos, you’ll definitely love the Harajuku tour that she’s arranged. If you’re not (yet) a fan, this is a tour that you should choose. Either way, you should bring an extra pair of socks because the tour will knock the first pair off. Jk😉 Shizuka’s entertaining, engaging, and energetic personality really stood out as she led my wife and I and another couple through parts of Harajuku along the famous Takeshita street. It’s not just a foodie tour but she gives history and cultural insights about the area and street during the (too short) four-hour tour. We had so much fun as a group eating, drinking, walking, and talking. Shizuka effortlessly led an interactive tour as she guided our group. She made sure that everyone had opportunities to engage in the activities like cooking okonomiyaki and selecting gatchapon, which made the tour much more interesting than just being led around listening to a taped or scripted tour. Shizuka shared her knowledge and experiences in Japan and gave recommendations about other foods, areas, and activities based on people’s interests and questions. We enjoy her videos on YT and her tour definitely did not disappoint. We really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it to everyone. Time really flew because we had so much fun. We will definitely look for more tours with byFood and Shizuka on future trips to Japan.
