麻糬 一日游(5)

The tour was an absolute blast. Shizuka is the perfect balance of professionalism and very personable. I really felt immersed in the city and learned so many unique facts about the area, food and culture in general. Truly a different caliber, an "S" tier tour, I wish I could join in on one every week if able. Highly Recommend!

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.)

It was a super fun evening with Shizuka san! She was so cheerful and enthusiastic and nice just like what we see on You Tube video. I'm Japanese and have been to Harajuku many times, but I was able to experience new food and new fun activities on this tour. I also enjoyed learning some history side of Harajuku from Shizuka san. Time flew so fast. Thank you for a great tour!

I had the chance to have the Harajuku Sweets & Street Food Tour With Shizuka and all I can say that it was an amazing experience. The whole tour felt so fun and insightful as we visited different places and got to experience different things too. Shizuka as a guide was nothing less than excellent and wonderful, her knowledge about the area as well as the places we visited felt personal and unique. The best part would be how friendly she was and her personality really brings the tour to the next level. Would absolutely recommend the tour to anyone.

Great experience eating around and learning about the history of Harajuku! Would highly recommend for a unique local experience.
