Overview

LET'S GET OUT OF THE TOURIST AREA where it is super busy and crowded with people!

My tour focuses on Ueno, which is not as crowded as Shibuya and Shinjuku and is less touristy. It is also famous with Japanese foodies for good quality at lower prices. I'm going to take you to popular bars and restaurants for ONLY LOCALS (NO TOURISTS!!) where the staff speaks only Japanese. I will order signature dishes, and we will discuss the food and drink (and you can pepper me with questions).

We will visit 3 restaurants/taverns, where you will sample sashimi, grilled fish and skewered meat. You will also have the opportunity to try UNIQUE Japanese alcoholic drinks (4 or more different type of drinks) and you'll be able to experience what Japanese taverns are like. After visiting these three taverns, we will end the tour at a great Ramen shop that is popular with locals. At the end of the tour, I will take you to the entrance of each train line, depending on where you need to go


What's Included

ALL DRINKS and FOOD are INCLUDED in the fee. You will have 5 dishes included RAMEN in total.

You are going to have a small souvenir porcelain cup, using one on the tour.

You have 5 drinks on the tour.

Aki-San is a great host and made sure we had a great night trying all sorts of food and drinks. He made sure that we all had fun and answered a ton of questions about Tokyo. Take this tour for a great time!
One night in Ueno with Aki

Our tour guide Aki was a fantastic host, and we were really lucky to be part of a really great group. He was knowledgeable, funny, full of great energy and enthusiasm. He provided a detailed explanation of what to expect for the evening. We received a message ahead of arriving that said “come hungry” so we did and let me tell you!! The food selection was unique and very filling. We tried new things learned more about the Japanese culture and we made some new friends. I highly recommend this tour. Kanpai!!!!!
Fun fun fun

Thanks Aki and Yuu for a fun night. This is a great fun tour where you experience many different types of food and drink that we would probably never have done on our own. Highly recommended. We were two families with varying ages and tastes and we all had a great time. Definitely a must to do.
Best tour ever!

Aki and Yu were the BEST! Every City in Japan needs these two cheering and teaching us about local culture.

Kanpai!!!

This food tour was a BLAST Akira is extremely passionate about his job and ensuring that everyone on the tour has fun, learns about Japanese cuisine and culture, and enjoys a ton of really delicious food (and drinks). Our tour group was on the bigger side (which actually made it really fun) - so Akira had 2 family members who work with him often help guide all of us. The three men were awesome - working so hard to make sure everything was smooth - while also spending time with all of us. This food tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Such a fun night.
