Japanese Food Experience Tour in Ueno - Mori and Lyu are the right guides to lead visitors through the bewildering choice of local Japanese cuisine. Naturally, they're both knowledgeable but that's to be expected. What I most appreciated is how they let the evening evolve without overwhelming me with information. Instead, they shared just enough about each dish but also let the food tell the story. At the same time, they answered all my questions but in a friendly conversational manner. Nowadays, the tendency is to do our own online reserch and seek experiences without a guide. That approach definitely has merit. On the other hand, when you find the right guides, the food experience also becomes a chance to interact with not only the local cuisine but also local people. Worth noting, too, is that the four restaurants Mori and Lyu chose to take me were full of local people, not tourists.

A great night out in the Ameyoko market - Thank you to Lyu, Hara and Mori from Japan Local Adventure. The gourmet food tour was excellent. The communication leading up to the tour was clear, and I could not fault their commitment to ensuring everything went smoothly. The four different venues each had their own atmosphere, and the food was excellent and plentiful. The fried squid was my favourite, but to be fair – it was all good! Thank you for a great evening.
