Full description
Explore the alleys of Tokyo's Shinbashi area, known for its rustic izakayas (pubs) and food stalls. Grab some of the most satisfying food on the planet as you discover the vibrant district after dark! Start by entering the chasm of eateries overrun on a nightly basis by the working class of Japan. Join the thousands of businessmen who go to their favorite izakaya bar for a quick bite and cold beer before going home. Stop for some sashimi (raw fish), large gyoza (dumplings) and tamagoyaki (omelet), and then continue to a yakitori stall serving skewered meat and veggies cooked over an open fire. Wind your way through the maze of izakayas to find one of the most hidden okonomiyaki (pancake) shops, where only the locals go. Savor an authentic okonomiyaki with a drink before heading back to Shinbashi Station for the end of the tour.

Great Food Tour with our perfect guide Yappy! We really enjoyed the Tour, seeing many magic places you could never find on your own! We also really enjoyed the Karoke Bar singing (in a private room with our guide) which you can book on top! Gave us the best „Lost in Translation“-Vibes!

We got a lot of information about Japanese people and about the food. We ate different things 3 times and also did sake testing at the end. It was very interesting and varied. Many thanks to our tour guide Norma!

First of all Kyoko, she was very informative without being overwhelming with facts. Great in a nutshell. Learned a lot about the different types of sake at the start and drank too. The choice of food was very varied and she always made the connection between the food and the eating habits of Japanese people. She was always very responsive to questions and had a fine sense of humor. Last but not least, the group of 6 people (England,Australia and Germany) contributed to an excellent event with lots of laughter. Thank you Kyoko!
