I was fortunate enough to get a solo tour and the guide was extremely informative and professional. We both were astounded by the unique flavors and choices of sushi, and of course the wagyu was mouth-watering. We ended the night with a sweet bean treat and a walk down town. Highly recommend!

Itinerary
Begin your luxurious "Japanese Classic Dinner" with an unforgettable sushi experience at a hidden restaurant known only to locals. Watch as a skilled Sushi chef crafts seasonal delicacies right before your eyes in the traditional edo-mae style, born in Tokyo 200 years ago. High-end sushi restaurants often have strict manners, but your friendly guide will gently teach you the proper dining etiquette. This ensures you can fully immerse yourself in Japan's most celebrated culinary art form with confidence, free from any cultural or language barriers.
After your sushi experience, the ultimate meat lover’s dream awaits! We will take you to an exclusive, hidden Yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) restaurant to savor A5-ranked Kagoshima Black Beef, officially crowned as the #1 best Wagyu in Japan at the "Wagyu Olympics." Grilling meat on a traditional table roaster is an art, and your guide will provide interactive tips on how to achieve the perfect grill. Experience the incredible, melt-in-your-mouth texture of the highest-quality beef in a refined, local atmosphere you could never find on your own.
With your appetite fully satisfied by premium dishes, your journey continues through the vibrant, neon-lit maze of Kabukicho—Asia’s largest entertainment district. Experience the true cyberpunk energy of Tokyo safely with your local guide, exploring nostalgic alleys along the way. Finish your luxurious foodie adventure on a sweet note by indulging in "Taiyaki," a classic fish-shaped Japanese dessert that originated in Tokyo over 100 years ago. Leave the tour with a happy heart, a full stomach, and an unforgettable taste of Tokyo's deep culinary culture.

Harry was a great guide! Took us around Shinjuku to three locations with completely different atmospheres: the hidden reservation-only omakase sushi place, a lively yakiniku and the best street taiaki we’ve had so far! The sushi was truly special, best cuts of their respective types that we’ve had! All in all it was an evening with pleasant conversation and great food!
It was very wet but we had a great time. Yuki was really great and fun.The restaurants he took us too, sensational. All really beautiful and the ambience was beautiful. Good sms ing as were the staff. I loved this tour. Was worth every cent.
Akria was an exceptional guide, taking us to delicious locations for sushi, wagu and desserts. We had a chance to learn customs, history of the area, current culture and see a region of Tokyo that we had barely heard about. It was great fun! Thank you Akria!
Great night, amazing top quality food and experience
Akira gave us a great guide and details on locations we visited.
Akita is knowledgeable, friendly chatty guide. The restaurants part of the experience were both welcoming and exceptionally delicious. Definitely so the experience if you’re in the area!
Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Yohei. He was very nice and polite and very knowledgeable. He really has some great local knowledge for the Omakase and A5 Wagyu restaurants to dine at.
Our guide, Yusuke, was awesome. He was very knowledgeable about the area and took us to great restaurants. I only wish I hadn’t taken the tour on my last night in Tokyo so I could go back to some of the places he took us to. Book this early in your trip!
We had a great time on the food tour of Shinjuku. Our guide, Ramesh, was knowledgeable and very pleasant. It was s fun evening.
Hana was a fantastic guide. She created a lovely relaxed atmosphere is the busy busy area. Would definitely recommend the tour
It was a fantastic experience guided by Yuzu. She was so kind, jovial, and patient. The food spots were top notch and very well curated. I wish her all the best and thanks to MagicalTrip for working with me to get this booking fulfilled.
We enjoyed our evening with Massachusetts our guide. I particularly enjoyed the sashimi restaurant which was worth the cost of the tour. I was actually then so full I couldn’t eat much of the Wagu beef, which was probably not the best I have had although a lovely restaurant. The walking tour of all the district was extensive and entertaining with local knowledge. Thanks again to our guide Massa.
Friday was our guide and he was personable, informed and most pleasant to spend time with. We visited three restaurants at a leisurely pace.
I highly recommend this food tour as a great intro to the fabulous food in tokyo. We really really enjoyed the wagyu beef. Meg was a great tour guide - friendly, knowledgeable.
Great experience great food and friendly informative guide
Akira was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide! The food was BEYOND delicious and the tour brought us to some great places! Thank you!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Awesome spots for omakase and wagyu! The food were absolutely delicious, and had a fun and interesting walking experience! Massachusetts was very engaging and it just feels like hanging out with a friend who is very knowledgeable about Shinjuku and the area!
Great informative and fun to be with , what great laugh
We learned a lot, very knowledgeable on local culture, and good was grest
Massachusetts is an excellent, excellent guide! He is knowledgeable about the food and the intricacies of the neighborhood we explored and led us to a lot of hidden gems! Highly recommend!
Hiro-san was extremely personable. He insured that you were prepared for the food experience. He checked for any allergies or dislikes in food choices to make sure you enjoyed your foodie tour. He made it a fun time and explained everything before the food arrived e.g omakase - how to eat sushi properly and where each region each item derived . The Wagyu experience was just as enjoyable. The dining setting was in a private room, which was calmand quiet. There, he could explain the meat selections and how to cook do your liking, as well as the selection of pickled vegetables. Overall, It was a great food experience. Thank you Hiro-San!
My husband and I are visiting Japan for the first time so we had to do a Foodie Tour with an Omakase Experience. Massachusetts made our tour so memorable. He took plenty of photos of us and shared amazing insights about the foodie culture in Japan and answered any other questions we had about the Japanese culture. I asked many questions and Massachusetts delightfully answered them all. He was patient and kind. I loved listening to him and his stories. I truly enjoyed this experience so much. Whenever we come back, I hope we get to do another tour with Massachusetts. Thank you so much for everything, Massachusetts! You were fantastic!
Overall it was an awesome experience. Great food, great mini tour, and overall a great time. Naoki was our guide. He was a lot of fun and took us to some out of the way restaurants that were delicious. Be prepared that it is a lot of food, so come hungry! Pickup was a bit confusing finding the right location but we somehow made it on the first attempt 😆 And at the end he even helped us get a cab
Massachusetts was a wonderful tour guide. I accidentally hit two stars on my first review. He was five stars all the way!
Our guide was excellent and the food even better. The sushi was outstanding and the beef exceptional.
Akira was a good guide. The tour goes through Memory Lane and Golden Gai, all on the pathway to delicious food stops. Akira was knowledgeable with non-food questions, shared Japanese phrases related to food, and gave information on other stops to make on our trip.
Yuzu was awesome and so friendly!
A great experience with excellent food. The tour was a small group and we loved our guide. Highly recommended for foodies.
Tadashi has been a great guide for this amazing food tour. Highly recommend if you want to try excellent places to eat and at the same time learn something about Japan and more specifically Shinjuku.
Excellent experience the sushi restaurant was superb and watching the chef was wonderful
Interesting conversation with our guide coupled with fantastic food !
The food was amazing but I would have liked to learn more about the neighbourhood while we were walking around.
We were led on a culinary tour around Shinjuku to places that we would never have found! The food was fantastic at each location. Our guide, Karen, was punctual, knowledgeable, and spoke great English. We highly recommend this tour.
Massachusetts was very friendly. He took the time to explain each dish carefully and the culture behind each course of each restaurant. The suggestions and background behind all the food greatly enhanced the experience and flavors.
I am happy to give Five stars to Akira! He took us on an unforgettable private tour through Shinjuku tonight. The food was phenomenal—especially the Wagyu beef. Akira made navigating Shinjuku so easy and fun. I highly recommend booking a tour with him!
We had Hannah. She was friendly, knowledgeable and an excellent guide
Absolutely a wonderful tour. Our guide was excellent and we received allot of really good food including sushi, tempura, and tasty wagu beef.. Sight seeing was great.
Guide was great. Food great. Loved the area.
Really good food and Yohei was a great guide!
This was something my husband and I looked forward to for so long and the experience was so wonderful. Tadashi our guide was so kind, knowledgeable and helpful! He shared so much about Japan's history, and was able to make the experience even better. I recommend that everyone try this tour!
Tadashi was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and funny. The food was amazing.
Great sushi and Wagyu on this tour. Our guide, Yuki, was extremely personable, fun to spend time with and gave us great recommendations for the remainder of our time in Tokyo. We did this tour on our first full day in Tokyo which worked out well. 2 separate restaurants and then walked us around the area so we could get a feel. We did a night tour and it was very busy.
Loved this tour. We met up at night to enjoy the various food and sites of Tokyo. Tokyo is beautiful at night seeing all of the buildings lit up. Shaboya crossing and even the red light district. Really enjoyed our guide. I’m sorry I forgot to write my review back in April so I’ve forgotten her name. But she was great. Very attentive and included us all in the fun and education of the district and food.
Great experimente! Higly recommended.
Fantastic tour, lovely food, great company and Naoki our guide was wonderful.
Really enjoyed our tour! Would go again in Tokyo.
Ramesh was amazing, worth the money and lots of food dishes.
This was my first time trying sushi, and I hit the jackpot! Delicious fish, perfect rice. Now I'll compare all others to this place. Highly recommend! 🍣
Great guide, food was good. Pick up place was a bit hard to find but that might just me us
