Itinerary

This food tour of Nagoya will provide you with the unique opportunity to learn about the local food culture. Meet your knowledgeable guide in the heart of the city from where you will start exploring the food scene on foot. There will be quite a bit of walking involved, but don’t worry lots of breaks at restaurants are provided throughout the tour where you can rest and recharge your energy. You will try Miso Nikomi Udon, a variety of Udon noodles served in a steaming hot soup of red Miso paste, try pickles from the world’s longest radish, hear the story behind the local rice balls stuffed with shrimp Tempura, and explore the underground level of Japan’s oldest department store. Your tour guide will talk about Japanese demons and famine and what they have to do with a local sweet potato treat. Learn how to eat Hitsumabushi, the local dish made from freshwater eel. If you join this tour during the day your final food will be Uiro, a local sweet. For dinnertime tours, you will get to learn about the drinking culture of Japan in a popular Nagoya Izakaya, and wash down your peppery chicken wings with a cold Japanese beer or other beverage. *Content is subject to change

Worth the Expense, Just Do It

Published on May, 2024

Worth it. You think you read so many web pages that you are prepared for Japan, but you aren't. We could have tried some of these things on our own of course, but we definitely would have missed out on a lot by doing so. Little things like the service button at one restaurant, the different ways to eat the eel, the way you eat Nagoya noodles, and the hidden gem of a huge subterranean market with every snack and dessert imaginable. In addition, we got tips about navigation, customs and laws to follow, and more.

Nagoya is tasty!

Published on Oct, 2023

Our food tour of Nagoya was not boring, as promised. The insight to Japanese culture was perhaps even better than the food. Don’t get me wrong, the food was amazing! It was the first time I had unagi and it was very tasty! My favorite was the Nagoya spicy chicken wings though. Erica was a great and amusing tour guide! We thoroughly enjoyed our evening on the tour.

A great start to exploring the city

Educational tour about Nagoya and the local food. Tried several dishes we would have never thought to try otherwise. Appreciate the tour, would recommend.
