Description

Join us for a delicious 3-hour food adventure through Shinjuku — one of Tokyo’s most exciting and diverse food districts. This is not a luxury dining tour — it’s a local experience that takes you deep into the real Tokyo, where people gather after work to eat, drink, and share stories. We’ll visit three carefully selected restaurants, each offering a different style of Japanese cuisine. Start off with yakitori, freshly grilled chicken skewers prepared over charcoal — the classic taste of a Tokyo evening. Then, head to a cozy spot for crispy gyoza dumplings and light, golden tempura, a favorite comfort food enjoyed with a cold drink. Finally, end your night with a taste of sushi or sashimi, prepared with fresh ingredients and presented in traditional Japanese style. Along the way, your local guide will share insights into Japanese dining culture, izakaya etiquette, and the history of Shinjuku — from its postwar alleys to its modern nightlife. You’ll discover small restaurants tucked away in hidden corners, places most tourists never find, and meet friendly locals who make the neighborhood so special. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning traveler, this tour offers the perfect balance of great food, local atmosphere, and authentic stories that bring Tokyo to life.
