I’m usually not one to book tours (as I prefer to be adventurous and discover things by myself), but the moment I saw this one was hosted by Shizuka I knew we had to join. We’ve visited Japan twice now and have planned so much of our trip with the help of Japan by Food, especially the videos hosted by Shizuka, which we absolutely love. She’s so natural and kind, and I’m happy to say the tour felt exactly like stepping into one of her videos, in the best way possible. It was honestly a dream. Everything we tasted was delicious, thoughtfully chosen, and beautifully presented. I was surprised (and thrilled) that the experience ended with a full dinner at an izakaya, I thought it would just be street food in Nakameguro, but dinner was the perfect last stop before wrapping up. Funny story: we actually didn’t realize it was a group tour until we showed up! But I’m so glad it was. The group was small, which made it feel intimate, and everyone was lovely. It really added to the magic of the experience. Already looking forward to booking another food adventure like this, especially if Shizuka’s the host!

We enjoyed having our own personal tour guide (Keiko) to show us places we might have missed if we were on our own, especially the small shops on the quiet back roads. Good selection of food choices in Yanaka Ginza--we were stuffed at the end. We also appreciated small touches such as our guide providing a bag for our trash and hand wipes for our sticky hands. Overall, the pacing and time allotted for this tour was just right.

The tour was the perfect start to my time in Japan (having landed in the morning after a long flight from Germany) 👍 It was a super fun and relaxed time, hitting up different food stands and the choice of the izakaya at the end was perfect. Plus learning about the area, hanamis and different types of Sakura as well as comparable blossoms. Shizuka was the perfect and most gracious, bubbly and down-to-earth host, and it was so much fun to get to know her in person after watching all of the videos. She gave great food recommendations and also encouraged us to be adventurous and try some not so common items. I overall just can highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the Sakura blossom in a lovely neighbourhood with small city vibes and having a great and fun time with the perfect guide 🌸🫶😊

Shizuka has such a great personality and made the cherry blossom tour a lot of fun with trivia, plentiful details about the Nakameguro area, street food recommendations, and a well thought out plan for the experience. It felt surreal being a part of this particular tour given I had been wanting to do this since they shot the Nakameguro video in 2023. Definitely a great addition to the Japan By Food tours. You will love Nakameguro any time of year, but cherry blossom season really makes it shine! Hoping to do more tours on another Tokyo trip someday soon.

We had such a great time meeting Shizuka. Thought the Sukora were not quite ready, the tastes of food introduced by her made for a lovely time. Shizuka' on air personality matched her real life personality: fun and happy and truly loves Japan and loves sharing what she knows. We we liked a new food she was so gleeful that she had a part in helping us experience the food culture she loves. Thanks Shizuka!

Then there's Okonomiyaki, often referred to as a Japanese pancake, filled with ingredients like cabbage, green onion, and sometimes seafood or meat, all grilled to perfection. Don't miss out on the classic Yakitori, skewered and grilled chicken bites seasoned with soy sauce or simply salted, delivering a smoky, savory punch.
