Was interesting, but the larger part of the market is the „tourist“-market only one building is actually the fish-market. So if you have enough time in Tokyo go for it, if you are an a tighter schedule save your time.

11/10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The ByFood crew are great to deal with and operate a great tour, but this one was by far the best! Nathalie shared insights into Japan, Osaka, and knew the origins of our dishes and restaurants. We had kids with us and it was still incredibly inclusive and welcoming. We’ve done a few food tours in Japan now but this one was by far the best!

Really enjoyed making the sushi. The teaching was good. The quality of the ingredients was excellent. However we did feel rushed at the end as they wanted to set up for the next class which started at 12 noon - immediately after our class which was 10-12

Explore the Essence of Japanese Street Food

If you're eager to experience the authentic flavors of Japan, diving into the world of Japanese street food is a must. This vibrant culinary tradition is not just about taste but also about the dynamic atmosphere that surrounds it. Whether you’re wandering through bustling city streets or attending a local festival, the sights and sounds combined with the incredible aromas create an unforgettable experience. Japanese street food is all about enjoying casual bites as you explore, offering everything from the savory to the sweet with each dish steeped in cultural significance.

Discover Iconic Japanese Street Food Delicacies

Japanese street food offers a wide array of iconic dishes that cater to various palates. One of the most famous is Takoyaki, deliciously crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, these octopus-filled balls are a must-try. Then there's Okonomiyaki, a savory pancake made with a mix of ingredients such as cabbage, meat, and seafood, topped with sauce and bonito flakes. For sushi lovers, discovering Sushi at street stalls provides a new perspective - it's often simpler yet bursting with flavor. Another favorite is Yakitori, skewered and grilled chicken pieces seasoned to perfection, often paired with a refreshing drink. And of course, no Japanese street food exploration is complete without savoring Taiyaki, fish-shaped pastries filled with sweet red bean paste.

Immerse Yourself in the Vibrant World of Japanese Street Food Experiences

Engaging in food experiences focused on Japanese street food gives you a deeper understanding of the culinary techniques and rich traditions behind each dish. From participating in cooking classes to joining guided food tours, these experiences are designed not only to satisfy your cravings but also to educate and immerse you in the culture. You can learn the art of shaping Takoyaki or perfecting your grilling skills with Yakitori. Guided tours often take you through hidden gems where locals eat, enlightening you about the history and innovation that keeps Japanese street food evolving. So, whether you're a seasoned foodie or a curious traveler, these food experiences provide delightful memories and a taste of Japan’s culinary heritage.
