Fun night in Ueno
A very fun experience learning about Japanese food and drink culture with Aki. He really knew how to entertain his guests with this tour. Would recommend to anyone who wants to explore spots only locals would frequent. A great variety of unique foods and drinks.

Hi Bryn
I’m delighted to hear that you felt I was a brilliant host — knowledgeable and an all-round funny guy!
I really enjoyed having drinks with you after the tour and talking about Manchester culture through Oasis. It was great hearing about how you enjoyed their reunion tours in the UK and Australia (and I loved seeing them in Tokyo too!).
I hope you can come back to Tokyo soon, especially since you’re living in Sydney now — no worries about jet lag!
See you soon, mate!
Aki
Fantastic food tour in Tokyo!
At the recommendation of a coworker, I booked this tour while I was in Tokyo for vacation. While I ended up being the only one on the tour, Aki still provided a very educational and personal experience for me about Japanese culture and food! I enjoyed every food we got to sample—each experience was a joy to the palate and senses with a chance to savor the subtle flavors of each dishes! Big piece of advice—don’t eat a big meal beforehand! Don’t hesitate and book this tour now! 10/10 recommend!

Excellent Food Tour
This was quite possibly my favorite night in Tokyo! Aki is a great tour guide and really knows the best local spots. He explains all of the food before trying it and it only makes it better. He also clearly knows so much about the culture and city and is great at teaching others!

Best food/drink tour in Tokyo!!!
If anyone is going to Tokyo for the first time, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this experience with Akira. I wish we would have done this on our first day, because he goes over so much information that is so helpful for our first time in Japan about etiquette, and great information in general. Now to the food, the places you go on this tour are so delicious, and are places my husband and I would never be able to find on our own. We are so thankful for Akira showing us around. He really goes above and beyond in the experience and is so considerate. He is also SO funny! You will love this tour. Highly recommend it!!!

Hi Lily
I’m happy to hear you all enjoyed the “Eat & Drink Like a Local – Taverns & Ramen in Ueno, Tokyo” food and drinks tour!
I think trying things you can’t get back home is one of the best parts of traveling — it gives you great stories to talk about once you’re back. I always try new things when I travel overseas too, and I’d give my courage a solid 10/10 every time 😄
I also have a feeling you’re already missing Japan. If so, why not start planning your trip back? Once you decide to return to Tokyo, please get in touch — I’d love to take you to another area next time.
And if you’re keen to try even more adventurous food, I can definitely organise a special tour just for you!
Hopefully I’ll see you again soon!
Cheers
Aki

Great tour!
This was a great way to start off our trip to Japan! We tried lots of different foods and drinks and the ramen at the end was delicious. We were able to experience a fun, authentic bar hopping environment that would’ve been tough without a local. Aki was friendly and a fun host!
