We had the pleasure of Hiro giving us a tour of the Nishiki Market. Unfortunately we had a tight schedule and Hiro went out of his way to accommodate our timeline. Not only did we learn so much about local cuisine we were also provided several suggestions on tips on other things to do in the area. Hiro is very interesting and a great conversationalist. We will definitely take his evening tour next time we are in Japan. Thanks Again Hiro.

Kyoto’s Kitchen: Nishiki Market Food Tour With Hiroshi

Akito is very knowledgeable and professional. He showed us a local farm and explained the leaf picking process. At the factory, he explained the tea production process. We tasted tea prepared different ways, and we gained understanding of what made the teas so different. It was a very educational and enjoyable tour. The view from the mountain was incredible!

Despite the rainy and foggy weather, Akito-san was capable to light up our day! He picked us up at the station and let us have a small tour of the tea plantation (we just discovered the Camelia plants bloom in November!) explaining all the details of the harvesting (timing, methods, etc). Later we had a tea tasting session right inside the farm were the tea leaves are dried and rolled. Akito-san explained every detail from the tea refinement process to the chemical composition and how it might influence the taste. The very informal environment made us feel like home and it was such an amazing experience thanks to our host kindness and availability. Akito-san is very knowledgeable and definitely an expert in the tea sector: he was able to answer any question we might have (and we had many...thanks for the patience!). I won’t go in the details to avoid spoilers, but everything was both delicious and interesting. If you’re into tea (or just into exploring and learning), take this opportunity to discover this remote location and what the (japanese) tea actually is. We are tea lovers and we already knew more than a thing, but it turned out that we were missing huge pieces of the picture. Totally worth the money; the landscapes, the information and the tastes will be an highlight of our 3-weeks trip. Note: Akito-san definitely speaks a very good English!

My wife and I had a great time and learned a lot about how sake is made. Kyoko was very helpful and made us comfortable to ask questions. I recommend this to anyone interested in Japanese culture, understanding sake making, and of course, experiencing Japanese hospitality.

We really enjoyed this tour! David could tell us a lot about wasabi and he is clearly very passionate about it. We were allowed to grind the wasabi ourselves and of course eat it. I would definitely recommend this tour. The area is very nice as well.

Vegetarian Food Tours in Japan

The interest in vegetarianism and the plant-based lifestyle has been rising globally, due to ethical and environmental reasons, and Japan is no exception. While Japan has a historically fish-based diet, in recent years the Japanese food scene has been making more attempts to be accommodating of other diets, especially in Tokyo. Vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Tokyo are now on the upswing, and there are more and more vegetarian food tours in Japan where people can enjoy their favorite plant-based Japanese foods.

While many of these tours are located in Tokyo, there are also vegetarian food tours in Kyoto and plant-based food tours in Osaka in addition to Hiroshima and other areas across Japan. The variety of experiences include vegetarian street food tours, tea ceremony experiences, and farm tours. During these vegetarian food tours in Japan, you’ll be accompanied by a local guide who will answer your questions about Japanese cuisine, culture, and history. You’ll meet both locals and foreign visitors to Japan, and end the tour with a full stomach and warm memories.
