Best Food Tour in Tokyo! - My friends and I absolutely loved our tour with Aki!! He is a character and we had the best time hanging out with him and eating so many delicious foods at spots we would have never found without him. What an awesome human!! This is our second time in Tokyo and second food tour and this was by far the best.

10/10 - What an amazing night! We tried incredible food and learned so much. What a way to see an authentic side of Tokyo that we would not have otherwise experienced.
