Such an awesome food tour! And sooo much delicious food included. We wouldn’t have tried the different foods without the tour, and they were all delicious. And learning about it all was great too. Highly recommend

Excellent tour with lots of tastings
We loved this tour! Our guide So was excellent - very friendly and full of information. After starting with a stroll with historical information at various stops, we entered Nishiki market and started the tastings. The tour includes a small brunch meal at a restaurant in addition to the tastings, so we were quite full and happy by the end! Great tour - we would do it again.
