Kyoto City Eat and Drink Experience at Izakaya Private Half Day Tour
- Eat your way through an especially food-obsessed area of Kyoto with a local host who’ll suggest dishes according to your taste
- Have a formal sit-down dinner, or simply snack on a variety of street foods
- Learn about the history of Kyoto through food – from centuries-old Nishiki Market to traditional kaiseki dining
- Have your helpful host on hand to translate, order, explain and recommend any dish
What to expect
Kyoto has retained its 1000-year status as a culinary capital in Japan. With your host playing the dual role of ingredient explainer and menu decipherer, let the smells of street food guide you down a five-block marketplace filled with spectacular snacks – from seafood-stuffed dough balls under a blanket of unfurling bonito flakes, karikari takoyaki, to fresh beef sushi (yes, beef!).
The epitome of Japanese haute cuisine, kaiseki, is a must-try for any foodie. And if you’re feeling adventurous? Try Senmaizuke, a delicious, traditional Kyoto pickle made from Shogoin turnips, or slurp up fragrant green tea noodles in a city known for its uji matcha. Veggie lovers can dig into ultra-umami Issenyoushoku!
Reviews
this was incredible! Taibi went completely above and beyond to show us local food, spots to hang and bars so we knew we had the inside scoop. our daughters adored him and he easily accommodated gluten free for our friend in the group with celiacs disease. 100% recommend him and this experience!
Our guide was wonderful. He made the adventure a lot of fun and clearly knows his resturants. Ask to see his google maps! Too much great food and a great time exploring Kyoto. highly recommend.
