Highlights

Tsukiji Fish Market - We will walk through the narrow alleys of the market. We will see many kinds of seafood, vegetables, pickles, dry foods and more. Many of them are unique to the Japanese. As we walk along with the shops, we will talk about Japanese food culture. We will get some of the snacks and freshest sushi from the market then we will enjoy several kinds of sake! We will talk about how the sake is being made and enjoy sake and sushi.
Namiyoke Inari Shrine - The tour ends at the Namiyoke Inari Shrine. After the great fire in the Edo period, land reclamation work was carried out to build a new market on this site, but the construction was difficult due to rough waves. One evening, a shining object of worship was discovered floating on the surface of the sea. In 1659, a shrine was built to enshrine the object of worship. After the shrine was built, the rough seas subsided and the reclamation work proceeded smoothly. Namiyoke Shrine is revered by people who pray for warding off evil, warding off evil, prosperous business, and safe construction. Good luck to all of you!

Sampling of delicious Japanese cuisine - Our tour with Mr. Oku was awesome! He is so knowledgeable, engaging, and funny. Walking through the market was a sight to see. Plenty of food options, and friendly vendors. A must do if you’re a food like us! We enjoyed fresh tuna, Wagyu sushi, and sake to name a few examples. Thank you Mr Oku for an introduction to a sample of delicious Japanese cuisine
