Summary

Make your way to Coredo to meet your guide, between Coredo Muromachi 1 and Coredo Muromachi 2, at 10am. Take off on your walking tour, visiting nine shops along the way, each of which represent a different region and cuisine of the country. Sample traditional regional delicacies such as wagashi (dessert), satsuma imo (fried sweet potatoes), tsukemono (pickled vegetables), dashi (soup stock), and more. Your last tasting is a full Washoku lunch with your group and guide, over which you will discuss what you learned during your tastings. Continue in to the Depachika, an underground market, where your guide will point you in the right direction to find the best after-lunch snacks. You are free to explore further on your own from there.
