Description - What to expect

Start your Tokyo food tour with a visit to Gado Shita, a lively restaurant district built up under the brick arches beneath the elevated train tracks. Step into the narrow streets of the red lanterns and neon signs, so-called yokocho alleys, and find yourself back in the 70s. In such exotic and retro ambiance of the Showa period times, you’ll see local izakaya mostly frequented by locals. Enjoy 2 food stops in this area that serves typical snacks/ starters, very often enjoyed by local Japanese office workers and friends out for a night on the town. Try traditional starter- bar snacks in one place, and discover the regional tastes of Ise in Mie Prefecture at another quaint and interesting location.



Continuing your Tokyo food tour in Ginza, explore some very exciting food spots where you can find a $400 melon, and a famous Sembei (rice cracker) shop dating back from the early 1800s! Taste for yourself the tradition and pride behind this Tokyo historic spot– their secret recipes have been guarded carefully for over 200 years.



See the famous landmarks of Tokyo’s most expensive real estate area! Soon after, visit a unique restaurant to sample 6 or more regional cuisines from the south of Japan, in Miyazaki Prefecture. You will also have a chance to experience some amazing seasonal dishes at this place.



Round up your Tokyo food tasting tour with your last food stop for dessert and then wandering over to Shimbasi you can see how the glamorous Ginza clashes with the rustic old Tokyo. Shimbashi is home to some of the most authentic local eateries and izakayas in Tokyo.
