Food tour of Tokyo

This was a thoroughly enjoyable tour experiencing the different foods of Japan at 2 restaurants, including one with traditional seating, a black pork Katsu curry sauce tasting and dessert from a streetfood stall. We would highly recommend this tour.

Great flavors in Shinjuku!

Fun tour with good food that really provided the flavor of Shinjuku -- figuratively and literally. Igor was an excellent guide who was able to provide good color commentary of the neighborhood.

Walking, talking and eatimg

It was an opportunity to taste different dishes and styles of Japanese cuisine - from sashimi to grilled fish, pork cutlet and Okinawa dishes. Finishing with a pastry dessert. Drinks to accompany the food in the different eateries. Plenty to eat. Peter was an engaging guide, happy to explain the food and talk about living in Tokyo. Quite a bit of walking - exploring interesting parts of Shinjuku and hearing about Japanese food history as well as contemporary living.
