Visit the world's largest fish market, participate in a cooking class to learn typical Japanese dishes, make your own noodles, savour a 7 course Japanese dinner, stay in a traditional Japanese Inn.
Japanese food is one of the world's most famous cuisines - which is a well earned reputation and rightly so! Tokyo is one of the most amazing cities in Asia, if not the world. Put them together and you have a great place to learn more about Japanese food while having fun seeing some of the great sights this extraordinary city has to offer. We have designed a comprehensive itinerary to discover as many of the famous aspects of Japanese food - sushi, sashimi, hand made noodles - as well surprising the traveler with some of the not so famous but equally interesting and, more importantly, delicious! We do this all from our wonderful traditional inn base of the Shigetsu ryokan in the Asakusa area, the heart of Tokyo's old 'downtown' area where many aspects of Japanese food were developed or refined nearly 400 years ago, and a short way from the city's current heart and all you expect from the New Tokyo.
