You can eat cheap Japanese food all at once! - It's convenient because you can eat a variety of Japanese food at once! The staff are friendly, and Ueno is close to Akihabara and Asakusa, so it's easy to get to! I'll definitely join again when I come to Japan!

Delicious, fun, authentic experience. - Had a wonderful evening sampling different local Japanese restaurants. They were all very welcoming but are not frequented by travellers, (because they don’t have English menus). Highly recommend if you are looking for a delicious, fun, authentic experience.

Kaho will answer any question. Entertaining food tour - It was an entertaining food tour, especially after starting with sake at 11:30am. Kaho will answer any of your questions. My suggestion for improvement will be to allow the guests to choose the $ amount and ambiance level. For me personally, the sushi was great but I would have appreciated a more upscale and special experience. Maybe the guest could have an option to choose between local hole in the wall to highly rated restaurants and up.
