Great Family Experience

Our family met our tour guide, George, at the meeting place. He was fluent in English and very friendly, sharing lots of tips on what to try. The eel was fantastic, and the wagyu was out of this world!

Lovely Food Tour

We had a lovely time on our food tour with George. It was a less crowded tour which allowed us to see the tuna being carved. The food was marvelous and George suggested great alternatives for our vegetarian friend.
