Interesting and stress free way to discover a variety of foods and areas in Tokyo - with so many fabulous choices of restaurants in different parts of town this was an easy stress-free way to discover new foods and new areas with the added benefit of being in the company of a local. Mizuki was an excellent and interesting guide. We started off in the food hall of a department store were we got some desserts. He then took us to a Monjayaki restaurant. This was followed up with Yakitori in a bar in a different part of town. Great restaurants Certainly enough to eat and we were happy with our beers and Sake. Suggestions: 1. make it much clearer about where to meet the guide at the start of the tour. 2. Save the take away desserts for the end of the tour/ or to take home

New foods - We had a really wonderful time with Mizuki. He was very knowledgeable, courteous, and a delightful guide. We had some wonderful food items that we otherwise would not have found for the tour. I would go again.

Well worth it - Delicious food and it was fun cooking the 'pancakes'. Our guide was lovely and she explained the local food. Maybe a bit too much walking to get to our first food destination.
