Tokyo: Private Tsukiji Street Food & Sake with Local Guide

The tour begins at Tsukiji Honganji Temple, where you'll admire a unique blend of ancient Indian and Japanese Buddhist architecture. Learn about the temple’s reconstruction after a major fire in the Meiji era and its rich decorative details. Next, your local guide will lead you through a cool, comfortable route to the bustling Tsukiji Outer Market. Surrounded by the aroma of fresh seafood and the energetic calls of vendors, you’ll sample only what you like—such as charcoal-grilled domestic wagyu beef skewers, fluffy tamagoyaki infused with Edo-style dashi, scallop and shrimp seafood skewers, and teppan-grilled tuna cheek steak. Cleanse your palate with chilled teas at a traditional tea shop, then stop by a century-old bean specialty store to try black beans, peanuts, and the dashi broth that underpins Edo cuisine. Even in a short time, you’ll gain a deep appreciation for the flavors of Tsukiji. The tour concludes with a sake tasting guided by a certified sake sommelier. Enjoy three types of sake and a special selection, served alongside sake-steamed baby scallops. Discover the delicate gradients of aroma crafted from rice, water, koji, and yeast. Before ending, your guide will share recommendations for nearby spots and tips on how to explore further.
