It’s rained and so there were very few vendors but Bruce did not disappoint. He knows the city and the food here very well and we had a great time. He was flexible to accommodate what our group was most interested in and found us some amazing food. He also was very good at engaging the locals which really enhanced the experience. Highly recommend.

It is a surprising, delightful, and once-in-a-lifetime tour. We absolutely would not have been able to dine at these exceptional Yatai without Bruce's superb guiding. Incredible atmosphere, even better bites. And Bruce made it all fun and easygoing. Probably the best food tour I've ever been on, and I've been on many! Thank you to Bruce for sharing this special part of the world with us.
