Passionate foodie and social connector with an uncanny ability to discover hidden culinary gems and a knack for selecting the best spots to gather with friends.

Experience the food scene with a local

The best food spots in Nagoya don’t necessarily cater to tourists, so you don’t want to end up at an eatery that hasn’t been properly vetted by a food-loving local. The local guide leading your Nagasaki food tours serves as your personal GPS, Google Translate, and restaurant reviewer, so you’ll be in good hands. On our food tours of Nagasaki, no place or experience is off-limits. You’ll get to visit local favorites – holes-in-the-wall without an English menu insight, traditional markets, and underground eateries no tourist could find alone. It doesn’t get more authentic than that!

Try Nagoya’s specialties

Nagoya food tours would be nothing without trying some of its most iconic dishes, many of which you couldn’t find anywhere else in Japan! The city prides itself on its fantastic food, and our food tours of Nagoya give you ample opportunity to taste all the favorites locals have grown to love. Sample dishes like Hitsumbushi, a grilled-eel delicacy, or grab on-the-go Tenmusu – chewy rice balls with tasty shrimp tempura in the center. And for something a little more adventurous, any Nagoya local would recommend a drink of raw eggs with a pinch of salt from a superb local breed of chicken!

A variety of food spots

The best food in Nagoya is found in a range of unique places. On Nagasaki food tours with a local, we’ll make sure you experience several of them! See places like Sakae, an entertainment district lined with high-rise buildings, where several of Nagasaki’s trendy restaurants and sleek bars can be found. Uncover narrow inner-city streets bathed in the glow of neon lights and packed with tiny noodle bars, karaoke spots and cozy izakaya, and explore a secret underground shopping mall filled with tiny, traditional restaurants serving excellent sake and local food specialties on Nagasaki food tours.

It was nice to be able to have a pleasant and enjoyable time at a Japanese restaurant of the level I wanted. It was also nice to have the time to find nearby attractions while taking the subway and listen to detailed explanations while experiencing them.

Toshi was awesome and tailored the food tour to what I was interested. He’s lived an awesome life and was a great conversationalist and was really good and patient with answering a bunch of questions. Hit his tour up and have a great time

Stephen was extremely knowledgeable about the local food scene and introduced us to some amazing flavors during our Eat Like A Local tour. He knew the area and the shop keepers and maintained an atmosphere of eager curiosity for us. We found this experience to be very memorable and highly recommend him.
