Bruce is the man! Me and my partner booked a food tour with Bruce not knowing what to expect, after a quick intro we walked while we talked, on our way to our first Yatai stop. It became apparent quick that Bruce really knows his stuff! He has been living in Japan for 40 odd years, can speak the language fluently and has developed relationships with the locals over that period, so it gives you that VIP feel while you’re on the tour with him. We would highly recommend going on tour with him if you’re in Fukuoka!

I’m so glad we went with Hiroshi through the market. We tasted more and learned more than we would have just walking through on our own. We did not leave the tour hungry. Hiroshi recommended a restaurant for dinner and even made a reservation for us. Dinner was amazing too.

Kyoto’s Kitchen: Nishiki Market Food Tour With Hiroshi
Food Tours
A wonderful experience with lots of helpful and interesting information about Zenjoki Temple and Nagano. My daughter and I did this while the rest of the family skied and we are so glad we did. The local foods included were very thoughtfully selected and very special. Loved the traditional oyaki dumplings experience in front of the open fire (perfect on the snowy day). Delicious! And the tea and sweets in a store that had once been a tea house were delightful. I bought extra for the family. Our food quirks (I’m a pescatarian and don’t drink alcohol) were taken into account by our host and it was a very enjoyable and informative morning. Thoroughly recommend!!

Food & Cultural Walking Tour Around Zenkoji Temple in Nagano
Food Tours
Bruce was a terrific guide! Rather than yatai hopping down by the canal, Bruce took us to a long-time family run yatai in the Tenjin area that was well-known to him - and they had seats held and waiting for us! But before they were set up and ready to serve, Bruce took us for some 'conveyer belt' sushi nearby. Delicious! At the yatai we tried a variety of delicious foods and ate until we could eat no more. Took a walk after and finish with delicious gelato! We wanted to visit a yatai with a guide because it seemed a bit daunting to us to enter one, sit elbow to elbow with others and try to figure out what to eat! Glad we took the tour - it was a great night!

Bruce was a great host and our tour with him was a highlight of our time in Fukuoka! He was super easy going and very fun to talk with. There was a bit of rain that night and Bruce's usual yatai spots weren't open but he adapted his route quickly and we still had a fantastic time together. We really enjoyed all the dishes we ate! Will definitely make time to see Bruce again next time we're in Fukuoka. - Nick & Charline

Hakata Yatai Hopping: Fukuoka Street Food Tour
Food Tours

Street food is a big deal in the Land of the Rising Sun, and its vendors are some of the most consistently creative in the world. In fact, many of the iconic dishes of Japan — including sushi and yakitori — started their life in the street food carts of the big cities! These old-school carts are known as yatai, and nowadays they’ve undergone a hipster renaissance.

Alongside the classic Japanese street food dishes, you’ll find plenty of more recent additions to love like “yaki imo” baked sweet potatoes, “takoyaki” octopus batter balls, “imagawayaki” cakes filled with red bean paste, to name a few. The list is basically endless, and each region has its own unique variations to discover.

If you want the lowdown on the local street delicacies, hop on one of these Japanese street food tours and get the expertise from a local guide. You’ll be taken to the very best places to try Japanese street food in its most authentic forms. By the time you’re finished, you’ll be an expert in all the classics, as well as whatever new styles the mad scientists of the market stall and yatai are cooking up next.
