Mochi Food Experiences(29)

We had such a lovely time with Thomas! He was very knowledgeable, engaging and funny! We gained great insight into Japanese whiskey culture and discovered new favorites.

I hesitated at first because of the price but I can say that it is totally worth it! I was alone so I got a private workshop. Yuko has excellent English and her explanations were simple and interesting. she was patient, professional and kind. and I learned a lot about Japanese sweets and through them about Japanese culture. In addition, I experienced making delicious matcha. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had an amazing time with KT on the Mystery Bike Tour! She gave us a look at a side of Japan we would never have found without her guidance. Not only did she show us some quirky sites (I won’t spoil them for you) but we rode through some very peaceful areas as well. We never expected to find such serene locations only a short distance from the hustle and bustle of Shibuya Crossing (15-20 min travel). KT is so cool! She tailored the experience around our dietary preferences and fitness level. The food she introduced us to was delicious and not too heavy for the long bike ride. Her english is exceptional, and the information she shared was very interesting. Honestly, this was one of our favorite experiences during our 2-week stay in Japan. We are from the USA. If you are looking for a true Japanese experience outside of the typical tourist traps, book this tour! Especially if you are looking for a bit of exercise during your trip. We plan to book with KT again the next time we are in Tokyo.

Shizuka's professional preparation, selection of places, and personality made an exceptional tour. The tour also included places that weren't food-oriented which made it fun. The highlight was the self-made okonomiyaki and the gacha site. We travel to Japan every year. I hope to take another tour with Shizuka in another neighborhood. Thank you, Shizuka!!!

Bruce was excellent. He is very personable and knowledgeable about Fukuoka and the Yatai food scene. The earlier weather had prevented many booths to not show up. But Bruce made use of the ones that were there. He also gave us his tour of the area after the allotted time. During the tour, he recommended a restaurant. We tried to make a reservation the next day, but they were fully booked. I texted him for another recommendation, and he promptly responded with another winner. Thanks again, Bruce.
