Explore Tokyo's hidden gastronomic scene on an evening guided tour!
You'll immerse yourself in Tokyo neighborhoods known only to locals, where tourists don't usually venture. Accompanied by your local English-speaking guide, you'll discover a series of places emblematic of the city's culinary culture. You'll start at Depachika, the basement of department stores, where you'll sample Japanese, Western and Chinese dishes, with a special focus on wagashi, a traditional rice and red bean dessert.
Then on to Tsukishima and its famous Monja Street, where you'll discover monja-yaki, a table-grilled dish, which you'll enjoy freshly prepared on the hot plate. You'll meet the chefs and learn more about the preparation of this typically Tokyo dish.
The evening will continue at Yurakucho, where grilled yakitori accompanied by beer or sake awaits you. You'll have the opportunity to meet chefs specializing in yakitori, chat with them about their expertise and even help prepare your own skewers.
Throughout this culinary experience, your guide will tell you stories about the culture and traditions of Japanese food, allowing you to understand not only what you're eating, but also why these dishes are so ingrained in the daily lives of Tokyo's residents.
