Bruce was an exceptional tour guide—easy going, knowledgeable, and deeply connected to the heart of Fukuoka’s yatai culture. His rapport with the yatai operators was immediately evident; it felt like we were being welcomed not just by vendors, but by friends. Some of the regulars greeted him with genuine joy, a testament to the relationships he’s built up at these establishments. Fellow travelers were impressed by his effortless Japanese, which comes as no surprise given his 40 years of living in Fukuoka. With Bruce leading the way, the experience felt less like a tour and more like an insider’s night out in the city, experiencing the original and less touristy yatai scene as well as some of the super popular spots. Just be warned, (4) yatai stalls is a lot of food!

My wife and I booked the Fukuoka Yatai Food Tour in Hakata, and it was a delightful experience that I highly recommend. Bruce met us at our hotel to start the tour and was friendly and knowledgeable, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. The variety of street food was impressive, from delicious Hakata ramen to perfectly grilled yakitori and more. Bruce takes you to the best yatai stalls and has a relationship with all of the chefs, which makes you feel welcome and well taken care of. The tour has a great atmosphere, and Bruce makes it a point to show the social side of the yatai experience as well - starting conversations with other patrons at the stalls and helping you to meet people from all over the world who are also there to enjoy the food and have fun. This helps to make the experience even more special. Bruce’s passion for Fukuoka's street food culture was infectious, adding depth to the tour. If you're in Fukuoka and want a taste of authentic local cuisine while exploring the city's lively streets, this food tour is a must-do!

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

Vegan Delights: A Taste of Japan

In a country known for its meat and fish-rich dishes, you might wonder about the availability of vegan options. Fear not! The Japanese have mastered the art of using plant-based ingredients like tofu, seaweed, and seasonal vegetables to craft delicious vegan meals.

Discover vibrant food scenes in bustling metropolitan areas or quaint countryside towns, each offering a unique twist on vegan dining.

The Art of Japanese Sake

No culinary tour of Japan is complete without immersing yourself in the world of sake. Known as "nihonshu" in Japan, sake is a versatile beverage that can be enjoyed hot or cold, depending on the season. It is brewed through a process of fermenting polished rice, water, and koji mold, and comes in a variety of styles and flavor profiles. When paired with vegan dishes, sake enhances the dining experience by complementing the natural flavors of the food. Attend sake tastings, visit traditional breweries, and learn how to pair different types of sake with a menu designed to unfold a spectrum of flavors. Gain insights into the artistry behind sake brewing and discover which sake type tickles your taste buds the most.

Combining vegan food with Japanese sake opens up a world of exquisite taste experiences, highlighting the best of Japan's culinary arts. As you plan your journey, remember that each region offers its own unique vegan and sake delights, inviting you to explore and savor new gastronomic horizons.
