Journey out of Tokyo's tourist area with its crowded bars and restaurants and overpriced food. This food tour takes you to Ueno, a less touristy area that's a lot less crowded than Shibuya and Shinjuku. Ueno is famous among Japanese foodies for its good quality food and reasonable prices.
Your tour guide takes you to Ueno's most popular bars and restaurants that only locals visit. There are no tourists and the staff only speak Japanese. You'll try signature dishes and discuss the food and drinks with your guide.
Visit four restaurants and taverns where you'll sample sashimi, grilled fish and skewered meat. Taste five or more unique Japanese alcoholic drinks in a Japanese tavern experience. After visiting three taverns, your tour ends in a ramen shop loved by the locals.
Loved this experience! Aki was an awesome tour guide. He took the group to four different local spots, where we got to try all sorts of different Japanese dishes that you may not typically try in Singapore. There were different types of fish, including grilled/fried fish and sashimi. There was also the yaki-ton, which is kind of like Japanese-style pork satay with mystery meat at the second stop. You'll also get to try at least 3 different styles/types of sake, and you get a choice between a whiskey highball or a lemon sour at the third spot. Last but not least, you round off the tour with chicken/duck ramen at the last spot. All in all, would recommend. 10/10.
Super guide 'Akira' was knowledgeable and fun... tour packed with local food, drinks and laughters. Great time!! Highly recommended!! Just sit back and relax...JAPAN!!
