Well, that’s completely understandable because there are hundreds of thousands of places to eat, drink and discover. Tokyo’s culinary world is an intricate maze that takes years of on-the-ground research to begin to glean what’s on offer.. let alone pluck the very best from within ! Former chef Jane Lawson, author of The Tokyo Style Guide, has been researching Japan and its food for over 40 years and this tour includes many of her favourite places to eat, drink and adore Tokyo.
Why not join Jane on this 8-day Zenbu Tour, (a short one for us!) as we immerse ourselves in a world of both traditional and contemporary Japanese cuisine, showcasing the breathtaking artistry the Japanese are known for, cutting-edge techniques and concepts, and meticulous attention to detail – at the same time we’ll wow over architecturally striking and beautifully considered culinary spaces.
We’ll taste our way through a selection of Tokyo’s finest establishments. Picture relaxing in exceptional izakaya whilst sampling a variety of regional sake, sipping specially curated cocktails, fine-dining on world-class creative cuisine, slurping hand-made noodles, savouring delectable sushi, and comparing traditional confectionary with patisserie that rivals Paris’s best. We’ll enjoy private culinary sessions with local experts, visit gourmet emporiums, swoon over Japanese tea rituals or Coffee omakase and stroll through local markets.
However, we can’t eat, drink and shop 24/7 so in between meals we’ll be sure to indulge all senses by exploring the rich tapestry of Tokyo’s art and culture scene, tranquil spring gardens and quieter, lesser-known shrines and temples away from the usual tourist throng, wherever possible.
This itinerary is suited to those who want to squeeze the sweetest juice out of TOKYO city – in comfort and style!
