Total Review for Taverns & Ramen

Aki was an outstanding food tour guide in Tokyo. He first led my group tour in 2023, and when I returned, he created a personalized experience just for me—which made the trip even more special. He’s incredibly friendly, easy to schedule with, and completely fluent in English. What really sets him apart is his deep knowledge of Tokyo’s food scene and his ability to take you to truly local, off-the-radar spots you’d never find on your own. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, and I learned so much along the way. Aki made both experiences unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Had a great time and learned a lot about Tokyo – that I don’t think I would’ve known elsewhere.

Aki is a great host! He shares a wealth of knowledge, took us to spots with only locals and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend for solo travellers or those looking for a quick break from Google Maps and a fun activity.

Aki was so knowledgeable, friendly, and made the food tour so fun! Brought us to four local spots that we definitely wouldn’t have stumbled upon ourselves – truly authentic food. Had a great time but word to the wise- this is not a food tour for picky eaters! 🤣

Not only do you have great food, but also great historical information and drinks. Incredible access to areas we would have never found. Highly recommended!

Our family of 5 had a blast with Aki. We learned about the Ueno neighborhood and Japanese culture. All of the food was interesting and delicious. We went to places and enjoyed cuisines that we would have never discovered on our own. Thank you Aki!

We had a really fun time on our food tour in Tokyo! We experienced a great variety of food, and were well taken care of.

Loved it

Had an amazing time! Great food, great company, and fun facts/learning along the away.

Aki is a phenomenal tour guide! We were recommended this tour by friends and are so glad we went — everything we ate was delicious, and Aki made every restaurant feel so personal. Would recommend to anyone!
