Will I learn how to eat sushi and wagyu properly?

Yes. Your guide covers Edo-mae sushi history and proper etiquette throughout the omakase course, and teaches wagyu grilling technique before you cook your A5 beef tableside.

What makes the wagyu on this tour special?

You'll taste A5 Kagoshima Black Beef, officially recognised as Japan's top-ranked wagyu. The extreme marbling creates a distinctive melt-in-your-mouth texture when grilled fresh at your table.

How difficult is it to find these restaurants on my own?

Very difficult. These are premium local favourites in Kabukicho, an enormous entertainment district where tourist-trap restaurants are plentiful. Your guide's insider connections and knowledge unlock venues that don't rely on online visibility.

What's included in the 3.5-hour tour?

Walking through Shinjuku, omakase sushi course with seasonal seafood, A5 wagyu grilled tableside, cultural guidance on etiquette and preparation, and your English-speaking guide's curated access to premium restaurants.

Can you accommodate vegetarians or food allergies?

Notify the operator at booking so they can pre-arrange alternatives with the restaurants. Given the emphasis on sushi and wagyu, vegetarian options may be limited, but the restaurants will do their best to adapt.

Is this tour crowded with other tourists?

The restaurants are selected specifically to avoid typical tourist traps, so you'll dine alongside locals. Group size and tour frequency aren't specified, so check with the operator for smaller-group scheduling.

our host Dmitri sorted everything for us and a fish taco from a tiny street stall was the highlight, and honestly better than the food tour we did in Cancun last year.
