Fun - Tried so much good stuff, and the sake was next level! Our guide was very chill, fun, and knew all the legit spots. Plus, walking through Shinjuku at night made the experience even more exciting.

Great Food and Fun Night Out in Shinjuku - Our tour guide took us to four carefully selected restaurants. We started with sashimi at a local izakaya, which was my favorite part of the tour. The highlight was the wide variety of sake we got to try. We also visited a tonkatsu(pork cutlet) restaurant and enjoyed some juicy tonkatsu.
Walking through Shinjuku at night initially felt a little intimidating, but we felt very safe with our guide. The small group size made the experience intimate and allowed us to interact easily with the guide. I highly recommend this Shinjuku food tour to anyone looking to enjoy delicious food while exploring Shinjuku's nightlife!

Every stop was a highlight! - We had a great time on Shinjuku food tour with my wife and our two kids (ages 7 and 12) and it was an amazing experience. Our guide was very thoughtful, paying special attention to accommodate the kids by carefully selecting food and drinks suitable for them, which we really appreciated. On top of that, the food was so delicious.

Excellent tour and guide - Incredible food tour! The food was fantastic and very fresh. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, including sashimi, taiyaki, tonkatsu, karaage, and more. There was plenty of food, and we were full by the end. I especially loved the first restaurant we visited, which was a seafood izakaya

Local gems! - If you are looking for a good time, Yota will show you around! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to local spots instead of just visiting tourists spots. I felt like a local as I enjoyed eating and drinking at authentic spots.

Navigating the hustle of Shinjuku - A great opportunity to experience Shinjuku! It was a very busy area, but I'm glad we had a guide. I might have gotten lost if I were on my own.
We got to experience a variety of delicious dishes and explore hidden gems in the area.

Delicious food tour - We had an incredible food tour in Shinjuku! We enjoyed crispy tonkatsu, fresh seafood at an izakaya, and experienced a unique local izakaya with delicious dishes. For dessert, we had taiyaki, which was the perfect sweet ending.
Along the way, we also learned about Shinjuku’s red-light district and gained a deeper understanding of the area’s history and culture.

An amazing Shinjuku food tour with Naoya-san! - The Shinjuku food tour was amazing, and the food was fantastic. Naoya-san was so kind, knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining. He went above and beyond. We really appreciated learning about the cultural backgrounds of the food and the Shinjuku area. I would definitely recommend this tour.
