麻糬 美食体验(15)

Bruce was great. He took us to one of his favorite yatai’s and the food was amazing. He gave us walking tour of the city as well and pointed out a lot of good go to’s while in Fukuoka. We went to a local ramen shop and had authentic hakata ramen, which also was delicious. The group was having such a good time we hung out a little longer to grab some dessert. Highly recommended for anyone that wants a taste of authentic Fukuoka.

What a memorable and delightful experience. Would highly recommend!

This was our first trip to Fukuoka for our group of 5 and we were looking forward to enjoying the Yatais. The Yatai Hopping experience was flawless thanks to Bruce! His introduction and detailed communication on the days prior and day of, meeting us at a convenient location, fabulous food selections at the Yatais, relaxing walking tour around the areas, and his bubbly personality were just a few of our positive experiences. Bruce was also very helpful on the following days when I had questions about places to eat/visit. He answered my multiple text messages promptly, and I felt like I was corresponding with a friend. Our entire group had a wonderful time and would recommend Bruce for this fun activity.

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.)
