Engage with Tokyo's local food culture on this immersive culinary journey. This isn’t just a food tour—it’s a chance to discover the city's hidden gastronomic delights, from yakitori izakayas in narrow alleys to dishes loved by locals but often missed by tourists. These are the authentic spots where the grill master knows every regular, and you’ll quickly feel like part of the community.
Start at the basement food floor of the store Depachika, with a vibrant display of dishes from everyday sides to luxurious treats. Learn about Wagashi, seasonal Japanese sweets made from rice and red beans, and sample one. The journey may also include a visit to Itoya, a historic stationery store, where Japan’s paper culture has thrived since 1904.
Next, head to Tsukishima's “Monja Street,” the birthplace of Monja-yaki, Tokyo’s sizzling comfort food. Watch it grilled before you, chat with the cook, and savour it fresh off the griddle with a metal spatula, just like the locals. The adventure ends in Yurakucho, where smoky skewers and cold beer await. Enjoy sake or a local beer, then sample yakitori at a local restaurant. Each shop has its own secret “tare” sauce and grilling style. Engage with yakitori chefs, learn about their craft, and even try making your own skewer.
This is more than just tasting food; it’s stepping into the rhythm of Tokyo life. Your guide can recommend hidden bars or karaoke spots to continue your evening or help you find your way back.
