Hakata Yatai Hopping: Fukuoka Street Food Tour
Food Tours
Where to start with the praises for the fantastic class Yuko hosted!! We are a family of three (with a chatty and restless 6 year old) from Australia. Yuko was very patient and went above and beyond what I expected in the booking. I now have a new favourite wagashi, thanks to Yuko! The class kept my daughter busy, and the view out the window was so lovely. If you go in March/April the view will be filled with Cherry Blossoms. We were there in Winter (December), while many trees were bare, we could see maples and the children play across the canal. Yuko's English is very good and her lovely husband, Michael, came down to greet us with an Aussie hello. Thank you for this wonderful experience, Yuko! We would love to come back again when the cherry blossoms are blooming. Highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a tour of Fukuoka’s famous yatai’s with a friendly, knowledgable and amazing host, look no further! The booking process was a breeze and the customer service prior to actual tour was responsive and attentive. Bruce (our tour guide) reached out several times after booking the tour to communicate meeting details and to set expectations. The tour itself was fun and delicious! Bruce has so much knowledge about Fukuoka and the yatais. Being with him made us feel like VIPs and it was the best way to experience this unique cultural food. Because of Bruce, we were able to visit and try some of Takachan’s (feature on the Japan Byfood’s video) best hits, and none of it disappointed! It’s astonishing that real culinary magic happens at this unassuming food stall! We ended the night at one of Bruce’s favorite ramen spots to try some authentic tonkotsu ramen. This tour is 110% worth it and Bruce was a pleasure to be with! Be sure book this if you want an insider’s yatai experience in Fukuoka!

Discover the Delight of Vegan Mochi Food Experiences

Japan is renowned for its incredible culinary diversity, and if you're vegan, you might think some of these delicacies are off-limits. Luckily, this is not the case when it comes to mochi, the chewy, sticky rice cake commonly enjoyed across the country. These delightful treats come in a variety of vegan-friendly options that allow everyone to experience authentic Japanese flavors while adhering to plant-based diets.

Various food experiences offer vegan mochi on their menus, providing a delightful indulgence. Whether you're a seasoned vegan or just exploring this lifestyle, trying vegan mochi is a must. Enjoy them in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, or sample them at modern dessert cafés that offer a twist on classic recipes.

Vegan Mochi: A Fusion of Tradition and Innovation

Historically, mochi holds a significant place in Japanese culture, particularly during traditional holidays like New Year. When you dive into vegan mochi experiences, you get to witness the traditional methods of mochi-making that have been passed down through generations. As sticky rice is naturally gluten-free and vegan, the mochi base remains authentically traditional while vegan-friendly fillings cater to a variety of preferences, such as sweet red bean paste, matcha, or even fruit fillings like strawberry or yuzu.

Moreover, innovative chefs around Japan have embraced the challenge of crafting unique vegan mochi flavors. From using coconut milk to infuse a creamy texture to incorporating seasonal fruits and nuts, the textures and tastes you'll encounter will delight and surprise you. These creations showcase how vegan mochi can stand as a symbol of creativity and respect for tradition bound together in every bite.

Where to Experience Vegan Mochi in Japan

While wandering through vibrant neighborhoods and local markets, you can encounter numerous shops offering vegan mochi experiences. Joining a guided tour with a focus on vegan delicacies can enrich your journey with stories and history. These tours often include stops at well-loved, sometimes hidden, establishments that specialize in vegan sweets.

Additionally, many culinary workshops offer hands-on experiences where you can learn how to make mochi from scratch. These workshops are a fantastic opportunity to get your hands sticky while understanding the cultural essence and methods behind this beloved treat. Participants can creatively mix different vegan ingredients to form unique mochi flavors that reflect both personal taste and the rich plant-based diversity Japan offers.
