In this 2.5 hour food tour, embark on a memorable food adventure with a small group guided by an English-speaking tour guide and, most importantly, a local foodie. Guests will weave through the crowded streets of Shimbashi (or Ginza in some cases), and visit restaurants serving local delicacies that are not for the weak-stomached, such as blowfish (fugu), horse meat, and more, along with traditional foods such as sushi and yakitori.

I was meant to enjoy this experience with two friends of mine, who were unfortunately detained in another part of Tokyo and ended up unable to join. However, I will say I had a fantastic time with the host regardless! She set up a very nice selection of tastings (of whale, fugu, and horse sashimi) for me, made great drink suggestions, and conversation flowed well. She made me feel comfortable and welcome even as a surprise-solo attendee. For anyone wishing to explore a variety of 'adventurous' foods without dedicating specific meals to each, I highly recommend this tour!

Our guide has great manners and focuses on small details. He ordered lots of 'normal' food for one of our friends who was afraid of fugu. The rest of us enjoyed the tour all the way; whale meat is special. It's a must-go tour if you want to experience the unusual side of Japanese cuisine.

Our host Izumi-san was lovely, knowledgeable and patient to our terrible Japanese language skills. He told us lots about Tokyo and the food tour was amazing. Horse sashimi is the best.

What a fantastic way to wrap up our last day in Tokyo! Thank God I didn't miss out on this food tour. It was the perfect finale to our 10-day trip.
Exploring the streets of Shimbashi and trying unique dishes like fugu and horse meat, as well as classics like sushi and yakitori, was amazing. I highly recommend this food tour to anyone in Tokyo! It's an experience you shouldn't miss.

This is my 3rd time visting Japan, and I wanted to try something different, not just sushi or sashimi. I joined a Adventurous Food tour with two other groups, and our guide met us at Ginza station near my hotel. We started by trying fugu, which made me a little nervous at first, but it was worth it. Then we tasted horse meat and whale meat. I highly recommend it!

Shun is amazing! He took use to three different eateries where we had the unique foods of Japan. But the real gem of the tour is the whisky tasting add on. He is very knowledge about the local whiskies. We shared drinks like old friends and it was fantastic!

Exploring Ginza's food scene on a tour was amazing for us Brits! With a friendly guide and a small group, we tried unique dishes like blowfish and horse meat. Tasting these special treats was thrilling and so much fun! If you're in Tokyo and want to try something new, this tour is a must!

Izumi, the tour guide was great. He spoke English well enough and was informative on the dishes, local areas, and Japanese culture. The food was so-so, but that doesn't bother me as trying new food as a foreigner, new food is always hit or miss. I do think the tour may have been overpriced,but also hard to know ,as we didn't do any ordering. Overall, I recommend if you are open trying new foods.
