Tokyo after 5 - guided walking food tour | Tokyo, Japan

Overview

Tokyo’s vibrant food culture is legendary and is one of the many reasons why people flock to the Japanese capital. This tour is designed to take you on a journey through Tokyo's rich food culture and traditions, from the perspective of an ordinary businessman and everyday life city dwellers. Begin the tour in Yakitori Alley, near Yurakucho, an area with many casual bar-style restaurants and the birthplace of yakitori, one of many Japanese people’s favorite appetizers. After having a drink to go with the yakitori, you’ll travel to Tsukishima to visit “Monja” Street, where “Monja-Yaki” is said to have originated. In true local style, you’ll use a small metal spatula for cutting it to pieces then chopsticks to eat with right from the grill. Take a quick stroll through Ginza, where you can find great confectionery shops and learn about the rich variety of traditional Japanese sweets — and, best of all, choose one to try!End the tour by checking out a local pub for some more drinks, where you’re welcome to stay longer or return to the start point with your guide.
