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.

I thoroughly enjoyed this food tour with Mark. It was both educational and fun as we learned about the local cuisine and the region, and we were pleasantly surprised to discover he’s also Canadian! The variety of food was excellent, and there was certainly plenty to eat. The highlight for us was definitely the mochi ice cream at the end of the tour.
