Guide of the Month December 2019: Ida from Kyoto
January 27, 2020  By Alan Tse 

For foodies interested in exploring various aspects of Kyoto cuisine, I would recommend our Nishiki Market tour. This tour takes place in “Kyoto’s kitchen,” Nishiki market in the heart of Kyoto city. We sample local foods during the first hours of the tour, then sit down and enjoy a kaiseki (traditional Kyoto-style meal) course prepared by the chef using ingredients from the Nishiki market. Definitely a must-do for any foodie out there!

Guide of the Month July 2019: Ryuichi from Tokyo
August 13, 2019  By Jessica Iragne

Guide of the Month 2019: Gabi from Osaka
July 22, 2019  By Jessica Iragne

He left Japan with his family around 1920 and completely adapted to life in Brazil. When I was born he was already older and I didn’t have much change to hear about Japan from him. That made me very curious about my heritage, the culture and food in Japan…
