The tour and our guide CJ were great. Kyoto is a beautiful city and the walking tour as we made our way from restaurant to restaurant was (almost) as enjoyable as the food was interesting and tasty. The tour started at the Nishiki Market and ended at Pontocho Alley (which has to be one of the quintessential Kyoto foodie streets). We were certainly introduced to food we would never have tried on our own such as Ayu ( a whole sweet tiny fish). Her suggestions for other local restaurants were spot on. Thanks CJ !!

We had a great time on this tour. We got to try a number of dishes that we new to us as well as experiencing new takes on foods that we knew. In the end we felt that we learned a lot about Kyoto's food culture and history while enjoying tasty foods and drinks (especially sake which I wasn't a big fan of before and now I want to try more) of all sorts. 100% recommend folks to dedicate an evening to a tour. You won't regret it!

My partner & I recently joined the Kyoto Night Food tour, with Yuta as our guide. We started by walking through Nishiki markets and sampled soy donuts (which were delicious) and also some fried conger eel (also tasty). We then stopped at a small bar to try a range of small home-style dishes and plum wine. After that, we went to a standing izakaya and tried another 4 or dishes, plus sake & beer. Lastly, we stopped at a tempura restaurant for even more food and sake. We were stuffed full by the end and couldn't even finish our tempura. Do not worry about there being not enough food! We also walked through Pontocho alley where the Geisha & Mako stay. Yuta was very knowledgeable & spoke very good English. I'd highly recommend this tour as it was a great insight into a more traditional side of Kyoto and the food is amazing.

What a great way to learn about the people of Kyoto! First a sparkling sake taste and off to the local market which runs for several blocks for a soy donut (tastes better than it sounds) and some tempura eel - also tasty. First restaurant for an Obanzai meal and Yuta, our guide explained everything in great detail. Plum wine is delicious and just watch the bonito flakes 😳 while you learn of the traditional cooking of the locals. We then enjoyed 2 more restaurants to experience Yakinuki (great experience) and a real tempura meal. It was all so much fun and filling you will certainly enjoy this tour.

My husband and I really enjoyed our Food tour with Yuta. We visited 5 different food venues and, even though we have been in Kyoto for 5 days, we did not repeat any food that we had already tried during our visit. The drinks and the food choices were awesome! Great tour!

My wife and I had a great time on our tour. Our guide Moe did a great job. I was very impressed by the amount of food and drinks included in the tour and by the end of the tour I couldn't eat another bite. We were also introduced to some adventurous foods that I would not have tried otherwise. This was a great way to start our trip to Japan and I highly recommend it!

Really enjoyable tour around Kyoto that included the Nishiiki market and some unusual (surprisingly tasty) food items at some good restaurants. A relatively large group of 10 on our tour, but this didn’t seem to detract from the tour. Guide Moe was pleasant, fun and communicated well.

Highly recommend this tour. Yuta was friendly, informative and an excellent guide. The various locations were all unique and the food provided was tasty and interesting. It is a long tour, but highly recommend. We left full of food we wouldn’t normally have ordered (or been able to order) as well as sampling Sake, whiskey and beers.

My husband and I had a great time exploring Gion and Nishiki Market with Harumi. The best part was just that we had a lot of delicious foods that we never would have tasted on our own. Even though we had already been to Nishiki Market, going with Harumi was different since he took us to the more "local" spots that we wouldn't have known about otherwise.
We were lucky enough that no one else had booked at that time so it was just the two of us. He was a super nice, friendly guy who shared our love of trying new foods. He also patiently answered all our burning questions about Japanese culture (like, why are there so many cat cafes?!). It was a great way to spend our last day in Kyoto and would highly recommend to anyone else who is considering doing it.
