Best of Japan Gourmet Tasting Tour in Nihonbashi
Overall Rating
4.71Gourmet food tasting tour nihonbashi
Reviewed by: Lorri , 2019/07/16Our tour guides were very informative and really nice. We went to a variety of different stores to sample their products. The tour is indoors which worked out for us as it was raining that day. It was great value, worth the visit and we would recommend this tour.

Exceeded expectations
Reviewed by: Chelsea, 2019/05/24Not only did we get to sample different foods, we also learned about their origins and history. So interesting! After the tour, we went back to the stores we toured and bought sweet potato snacks and wheat flour mochi. Our tour guide was very informative and friendly.
Thank you for joining! We are so happy that you enjoyed it and were able to find some yummy snacks to take back with you after :)

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Worth 1000 Yen.
Reviewed by: joy, 2019/04/23I've been on these tour twice now, and both times have being with a non-japanese guide. But they definitely know their stuff and it's a mix of Japanese culture and food. Very worth a 1000 yen. You even get a gift at the end :-)

Great food tour for families
Reviewed by: Anonymous, 2018/12/23Really enjoyed this. Learned a lot about the different food items and regions of origin. The guide was great and wore a kimono and had yukata for the kids to wear which was a lot of fun. Also great because it was all indoors and it was raining outside.
Thank you for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed it the tour, and the kids liked the happi! Enjoy the rest of your time in Japan!

Unusual taste of Japan!
Reviewed by: Adrienne , 2018/12/09This little walking tour of some of the famous and historical food stores whose history date from the Edo period was quite delightful and very good value.
The two kimono clad young guides provided us with an excellent commentary in English as well as with samples of the various foods.
I recommend this tour to anyone interested in Japanese food. The Nihonbashi area of Tokyo is a must to visit too!

1時間半で日本の食文化の特徴をいくつか掴むことができる
Reviewed by: Naomi, 2018/07/16・初来日の外国人家族と参加。日本の文化の基本というか共通項を見てもらえると期待して申し込む。
・嗜好の違いか、羊羹や昆布は「濃い」(煮詰まっている、甘すぎるといった感じ)というコメント、出汁はこわごわでしたが美味しいとも。日本文化や日本食はある程度海外でも認知度が高いと想定していたが、全く知らない人にはちょっと刺激が強いかも。
・日本の地形や風土が地方によって違うことを知らない場合、県やエリアのことを言われても、何かすごく違いがあるのかわからないので伝わりづらいと感じた。
・終わった後に「短時間で一応いろんなことを学んだ(気がする)。いいツアーだ」と感想を言っていたので良かった。別の家族が来たらまた案内したい。
・スペイン語も対応してくれると嬉しい

Unexpectedly Lovely little gift at the end and a coupon for a free pair of chopsticks.

コンパクトなジャパンテイスティング体験
Reviewed by: セロリ, 2017/05/04それぞれのお店を周り、お店の製品の説明を英語でしてもらえたのは良かった。(日本人でも説明しにくいこと(米麹やかつおぶしについてなど)はこうやって言えばいいんだと勉強になった)しかし、本当に食べたいと思う牡蠣などの美味しそうなものはお店の紹介だけ。他のお店も一押しのものを試食させてくれればいいのにそうでもなかった気がする。日本人からしたら、高くてもいいものこそ試食させて本物を体験させてあげて欲しかった。ただガイドさんは一生懸命もりあげようとしてくれていて好感が持てました。最後にお土産をくれるのも良かった。もう少しハイクオリティーになるなら他の海外の友人にも勧めたい。もう一押し!

Loved this tour!
Reviewed by: Nicole, 2017/04/17Wonderful 90 minutes! We got to try many things we wouldn't have otherwise tried. The entire tour is indoors, so it is great for a cold / rainy day. Even our kids (ages 8 and 11) enjoyed this tour. The guide (Julia) was awesome and made the whole tour fun. For the money, this tour was an INCREDIBLE deal!
Dear Nicole,
Thank you very much for your king review! It was a pleasure to meet you and your family. We hope we will see you again!
Best regards,
Giulia

Good not great
Reviewed by: Jane C., 2017/02/23I guess I was expecting a lot. With gourmet in the title, I was expecting gourmet. I was hoping for good food souvenirs to take back home or great eats to try. At least 3 stops were non food stops, and one food stop did not have samples. One sample was cold but felt would tasted better hot/warm. Another sample was very plain in contrast to the ornateness of what the shop offers. The hostesses were very helpful and described the regions well.

Good Tour
Reviewed by: Michele Curran, 2016/04/23Our trip to Nihonbashi district was very educational and enriching for me and my boys. It made us appreciate Japan even more, each province possessing a unique food story worth telling. This tour is a gem, consolidating all these food stories in an hour or so, allowing us to immerse into the culture and the people altogether. Our favorite was the dried fish that we grated into thin strips of fish. We never thought you can do that to.fish!! My sons enjoyed grating them.
We also got to sample most of the food items. My personal favorite would be the sweet potato fries. Yum!!!!!!
the storytellers Are fantastic. They have very good knowledge of the subjects and the history that accompanies them. They adjust to the audience's capacity to.absorb information and attention span. Would definitely recommend to friends and loved ones! :-)

Best of Japan Gourmet Tasting Tour
Reviewed by: Michele Curran, 2016/04/02Me and my family greatly enjoyed the tour, it was a nice relaxing way to spend an afternoon and helped us sample the best of Japanese cuisine. While the choices themselves are quite unique, I would have preferred it if there were more substitute options for those who didn't quite enjoy some parts of the tour, since there is a wide range of food available and not all of it will be accessible to everyone. The tour itself is professionally handled and we had no issues with the presentation or the guides at all, they seemed to know a lot about the food history of Japan and I personally enjoyed spending an hour with them. To conclude, this tour is an excellent opportunity to experience some Japanese delicacies from the comfort and safety off Tokyo.
