What you'll do

We’ll begin at one of the most popular sushi shops to enjoy freshly made sushi, including two pieces of tuna sushi, before walking through the bustling local streets near the station.
As we leave the busy station area we head toward the downtown district to enjoy some fried or steamed dumplings called Gyoza.
Then a short hop away a staple of the Japanese street food, the famous Yakitori served with a draft beer or a flavoured Sawa in a busy Tachinomiya (stand up eat & drink restaurant).
Time to switch from savoury to sweet with our first choice of Manju or depending upon the season some freshly cut fruit.
And a trip to Japan would not be considered fulfilled if one did not enjoy some Matcha ice cream
As with all our tours, there's our delicious Secret Dish in a cosy environment.
Japanese Sake
One glass of Plum liqueur
ADD UPGRADED DRINKS PACKAGE

Where the tour will end?

+

We end our tour at the Central Gate of JR Ueno station, the same location we meet to start the tour. However, you can depart at any convenient spot, please advise your guide and you will be pointed in the right direction to explore on your own.

Is your food tour suitable for a vegetarian or someone with other dietary requirements?

+

You can always tell our guides of any food allergies or special dietary requirements. We will adapt the menu so you can fully enjoy the tour! If you have any doubts or concerns, feel free to email us at [email protected] before booking.

I am traveling with my family, is the tour ok for infants/children?

+

Children are quite welcome and it's free for any child 2 years or under. We can give them non-alcoholic drinks and you are free to enjoy the tour with your entire family of all ages.

I don't drink alcohol. Can I book your tour?

+

There is one alcohol drink on this tour, but it can be easily replaced for a non-alcoholic option. Just inform our guide before your tour starts if you have any special request. During the tasting, water is available in most of the food locations.

Is there enough food during your tour?

+

Think of the tour as a tasting menu. As we travel you get many delicious treats that comprise a meal with desert, fruit, and snacks. You will not feel hungry after the tour.

Where do I add my discount voucher?

+

Voucher

I would like to take your tour but it is already fully booked. Is there a way I can do the tour?

+

Our tours are often sold out very quickly. If the date you requested is not available, please do not hesitate to email us and we can see if there is anything we can do.

Is there a lot of walking?

+

To join our food tour, you must wear comfortable shoes. There will be around 45 minutes to one hour of walking, but it is not too difficult and is broken up between food stops. The guide walks at the pace of the tour members.

How many people max are on this tour?

+

We take 10 people maximum. If you are more than 10 people, please do not hesitate to email us and we will try to see if we can accommodate.

I cannot find a way to print the confirmation. Is it OK if I have it on my phone?

+

You do not have to print your voucher. A confirmation on your phone will be fine!

If I purchase a voucher as a gift, or am given a voucher how long is it valid for?

+

All of our vouchers expire one year from the date of purchase.

Can I choose my own cheese and meat?

+

Our guide will take care of everything. Should you wish to try something special, please inform our guide and they will do their best to make you happy.

Where does your food come from?

+

Top-quality, fresh and local!

What if it rains or I change my plans?

+

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in Tokyo especially in early and late summer seasons. Bring an umbrella with you. We will try rerouting so we are not affected as much but please come prepared for the weather. In the case that a huge typhoon is approaching and any considerable difficulties and risks are predicted, the tour will be cancelled for your safety. Such cancellation will be notified to you in advance, at least a few hours before the tour. You will receive full refund in that case. Also, there are no tours during the period from December 29, 2018 to January 6, 2019 as most Food Houses will be flooded by locals and very difficult to run the tour. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions if this is a case that you change your plan.

 

Can I pay the tour in cash?

+

You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.

Why do we need to pay for a booking fee?

+

The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

Foreign Transaction Fees

+

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
