Explore the streets of Shibashi on a two and half hours Tokyo food tour and experience how the local "salaryman" unwind after a long day at the office in the maze of Shimbashi eateries, izakayas and standing bars. Dine with the locals and try scrumptious dishes such as okonomiyaki (Japanese-style savory pancake), gyoza nabe (dumpling hot pot), sashimi, taiyaki ( fish-shaped dessert).In this two and half hours tour you will experience the endless rows and alleys, twists and turns of Shimbashi, the "salaryman" center of the world. Known for its rustic izakayas and abundant food stalls, we help cut through the noise to show our guests some of the most tucked away places to grab some of the most satisfying food on the planet.
Starting outside Shimbashi Station, we begin our tour by entering the chasm of eateries overrun on a nightly basis by the working class of Japan. You are instantly surrounded by thousands of "salaryman" descending upon their favorite izakaya bar to grab a quick bite and cold beer before taking the long train ride home.
Not far into our journey we stop for a quick bite of Okonomiyaki, a savoury pancake made by mixing ingredients like finely sliced squid, shrimp, pork, beef, and cabbage into a batter made from flour and grilling on a flat iron grill. Each guest will have one Okonomiyaki and a drink.
After you are done with okonomiyaki tasting, you will continue to wind your way through the maze of izakayas and long alley of local eateries. Head to another eatery that specializes in food from the south of Japan. This place grows their own vegetables and raises their own chickens so everything is extremely fresh. Here you will have 4 different variety of local food with very distinct taste from this region of Japan.
Finally, enjoy a special traditional Japanese dessert called Taiyaki, a fish-shaped street desert with different choice of filling - cream or azuki (red bean paste). You will have the opportunity to see how the desert is being prepared and taste one of the best taiyaki places in Tokyo as the locals' all-time favorite! Take your time at the last spot and once everyone has had their fill, you will end the tour at Shimbashi Station.
