About this tour
Spend two and a half hours in Ginza sampling sushi and tempura at award-winning restaurants, seated directly at the counter where chefs work. Your guide—trained and English-speaking—walks you through Tokyo's upmarket district, explaining the history and technique behind each dish while you eat your way through an omakase menu and tempura course. You'll finish with four drinks included across both venues.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide in Ginza and walk to the first restaurant, where you'll sit at the sushi counter and watch the chef prepare your omakase (chef's selection) pieces one by one. Expect around ninety minutes here, with your guide explaining ingredient sourcing and technique. After a short walk through Ginza's upscale streets, you'll move to the tempura venue for a second course with drinks. The pace is unhurried—this is dining, not sightseeing. You'll leave with photos emailed afterwards.
