出汁 美食體驗(18)

We had the absolute pleasure of being guided by truly incredible guide, Kaori. From the moment we met her, Kaori was warm, welcoming, and so accommodating—especially to my older parents, making sure they felt comfortable throughout the walk. She was incredibly thoughtful, often checking in with them and adjusting the pace so everyone could enjoy the experience fully. It’s rare to find a guide who brings that level of care and attentiveness, and it truly meant the world to us. Kaori’s knowledge of Tsukiji was deep and fascinating, but what stood out even more was how she brought the market to life with her passion and storytelling. One of the highlights of the tour was when she took us behind one of the food stalls to show us how tamago is made—a truly special, behind-the-scenes peek that we never could’ve experienced on our own. Watching the process up close and hearing about the craft behind it was fascinating and really highlighted the beauty of Japanese culinary culture. And of course, the food itself was beyond delicious. Kaori introduced us to some of the best bites in the market, but the standout had to be the melt-in-your-mouth wagyu skewers—so juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every stop felt curated and intentional, and Kaori always made sure we had the best possible experience with each dish. Thank you, Kaori, for giving us a truly memorable day filled with laughter, learning, and lots of amazing food. You’re a treasure!

What a wonderful experience! Everything was clearly explained and conducted in a friendly and welcoming environment. It was a real learning experience, and you got to eat your handiwork when you were finished. The host explained and demonstrated everything first and then let's you do it on your own. Very authentic and highly recommended!

Well worth it. Opposite of a touristy scam.

Was interesting, but the larger part of the market is the „tourist“-market only one building is actually the fish-market. So if you have enough time in Tokyo go for it, if you are an a tighter schedule save your time.

It's an exceptional opportunity for every foodie to watch, how mochi is pounding. Even more so to participate in it! We really enjoyed the interesting insights, and discovering the whole process – not to mention the unique deliciousness of the fresh mochi. We could even try four different types of it! The organisation of the whole event was very smooth: easy communication, clear itinerary, friendly and nice hosts, professional chef by the soup making (actually, it was a complete lunch), lot of further tips and informations on the traditional Japanese cuisine. Marie, our host is actually an advocate of the fermentation and traditional way of cooking ("washoku"), so she has a broader point of view on this topic. Through her experience, we could also get a deeper understanding on the usage of the ingredients and their health effects. It was a pleasure to meet her and participating on this experience. I would warmly recommend to all food lovers and enthusiasts! (The location is within reachable distance of many famous sake breweries and also not far from the Fushimi-inari shrine. So you can schedule nicely into your plans.)
