日本家庭料理 美食之旅(2)

Aaron was a great guide! He knew lots of information about the history of ingredients and food preparation. We learned about spice preparation with some interesting anecdotes too. Be warned, do not eat before you go.

Yoko was our guide when we did the Tokyo Old Town tour and we had an amazing time! It was a lot of fun, we got to meet lots of great people and eat absolutely delicious food. I think the tea ceremony was a once in a lifetime experience, the tea bowl I drank from was over 180 years old! We also learn about dining etiquette and Japanese food in general from Yoko. We really enjoyed ourselves while learning and eating! Even though our whole trip to Japan was fantastic, thinking back on it we always say that this food tour was our favorite highlight.

We have been on a few different sized group tours and thought we wanted to try doing a private tour. When we booked this tour we thought that it wouldn't be a private tour but when we arrived we were happy to discover that it was! A nice surprise when we came early to the picup spot. We met Yoko who was our guide through Yanaka and the local shopping area. We tried different foods, sake, and a lunch with delicious sashimi!
