We had an amazing time! We brought 12 Americans that spoke zero Japanese and were hoping for a truly cultural experience and this delivered! Out of everything we did in almost 3 weeks across Japan, this was everyone’s favorite. The family was so welcoming and friendly. And the food was incredible, some of the best we had in Japan. But just having the experience to break bread, tell stories and jokes with people from difficult cultures is really incredible and not something people take the time to do. It’s truly a beautiful experience. And the story behind why they began hosting is very touching. I am really doing a poor job of articulating how wonderful the experience was. Just know if you’re on the fence, do it, and you won’t be disappointed. To the family, thank you again and you’re always welcome to join us in Wisconsin!

Luxury Cruise in Tokyo Bay: View of Skytree, Rainbow Bridge
Dining Experiences
What an incredible experience at Kobe En Steakhouse! We were greeted warmly and although early, we were sat at the bar and made to feel welcome. We were assigned our own chef for our specific Kobe beef tasting experience, and he was absolutely brilliant. Despite the language barrier, we communicated through the love of food, and he loved making us happy. The food was absolutely delicious and well worth the trip. We had a fantastic evening, and they even gave us a souvenir photo to take home! We loved every minute of it.

Luxurious Kobe Beef Teppanyaki Course in Kobe En Steakhouse
Dining Experiences
This experience was absolutely exceptional and worth every penny. My wife and I(and our two friends) had an absolutely incredible time with a focused and hard working omakase staff, incredible views on the roof of the yamabute of Odaiba and some of the best alcohol we've had on our trip to Japan.
Every member of this staff gave 100% and we all feel incredibly lucky to get to know each of them.
Would definitely do this again.

Dining Experiences
For gourmands looking to truly indulge, Japan offers some outstanding opportunities. Bejeweled with more Michelin-starred cities than any other country on earth, it’s arguably the best place on earth to splash out on some premium fine dining. Centuries of home-grown tradition has gone into developing the unique culinary culture of Japan, while in more modern times the country’s adventurous chefs have spread across the globe to master cuisines from far and wide.
In short, you’re not short options for premium dining in Japan. You could take it ultra-traditional with a high-class ryōtei meal, where you’ll be served a traditional kaiseki multi-course meal in a private tatami mat room, looking out over serene private gardens. Or if you’re looking for something a little more modern, why not try the wagyu beef steakhouses of Ginza, or outlets from some of the biggest names in European gastronomy like Joël Robuchon Tokyo.
Whatever you’re looking for, Japan has an outstanding lineup of sushi savants, wagyu wizards, and international experts on standby to serve your every need. With byFoods range of premium dining restaurants in Japan, you’ll be able to land a seat at their tables with just a few clicks.
