3-hour guided food tour to discover the best flavours of Japan

Explore Nihombashi, the heart of Tokyo’s culinary heritage, where the essence of Japan’s food culture has been nurtured for centuries. In this barrier-free, all-weather adventure—perfect for all ages—you’ll embark on a delicious journey through time, unlocking the secrets behind the flavours that define Japanese cuisine.

Follow the fragrant steam rising from simmering dashi, the soul of Japanese cooking, as you learn how kombu, bonito, and shiitake mushrooms create the perfect umami balance. Taste delicate, golden tamagoyaki, and enjoy the subtle sweetness that has made it a local favourite for generations. Feel the crisp snap of perfectly roasted nori, harvested from Japan’s rich coastal waters, adding the finishing touch to onigiri and sushi.

Wander through historic shops, re-imagined in a modern setting. Some are over 300 years old. Time-honoured techniques bring out the depth of soy sauce, miso, and rice vinegar, each regional variety telling a unique story of climate and craftsmanship. Discover flavours from across the country, savouring speciality bites that highlight the diversity of Japan’s culinary landscape. To complete your journey, experience the artistry of wagashi, Japan’s exquisite traditional sweets. A master confectioner will craft these delicate seasonal treats before your eyes, shaping them with precision and beauty.
