Tokyo FooDrink Tour @Local delicatessen street “Sunamachi”

Sunamachi shopping street is a 670 meters long street located at a residential area of East Tokyo. You may think of Tokyo as a modern high tech city with full of busy people. However, here in Sunamachi, time flows slowly and friendly supportive locals are still run their family business. Exploring and seeing the nostalgic atmosphere shops is enjoyable. For example an Oden hotpot shop sells the steaming hot ingredients at the front and a Yakitori Skewed chicken shop always gives off good smell. Many shops have business over 60 years. Their foods are cooked with family passed down recipe and have supported the neighborhoods’ daily diet.

An absolutely fabulous tour of "back-stage" Kyoto, we thoroughly enjoyed it and can only recommend others to book the same. Tatsuya speaks great English and can give you loads of background info on Japan. Also, the places we visited were something else. The world's smallest bar, for instance, complete with tempura and sake. Excellent - all of it.

We cannot possibly recommend this food tour of Kyoto enough - Tatsuya is so friendly, knowledgeable & leads the tour with such enthusiasm & humour. If you're looking for a great way to see some of 'off the beaten track' parts of Kyoto, whilst learning lots & eating & drinking great food & drink, then look no further. We have done many food tours around the world & this was certainly one of the best Book now!

We had an awesome tour with Tatsuya in Kyoto -- highly recommend this experience!
by Julie Y. (06/04/18)
We had the most amazing Japanese food & drink experience with Tatsuya. We went to places which were off the beaten track & are almost an underground culture known to the local Kyoto people. First we went through the famous Nishiki market to a bar which was very authentic & had 2 different kinds of sake with Tempura followed by a visit to an authentic izakaya where you are not allowed if you don’t speak Japanese. After a refreshing pint of beer & some cured fish we went along the Pontocho street to another restaurant which again served us 2 different kinds of sake with food. Through out the tour it felt as if we were a bunch of friends going on a night out & Tatsuya was funny & gave us a lot of local knowledge interspersed with anecdotes of the area. We had a great time & if you are visiting Kyoto please make this the highlight of your visit. You will not regret it!!
