Review of Tokyo’s private Tsukiji food and sake walk, with temple history, wagyu, tamagoyaki, tea, dashi, and four sake pours.
“I really liked the tour guides we had. They were very upbeat, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable and genuinely interested in us. The only very small criticism was that they did not make clear what food was free at the market. The sake tasting was excellent and so were the scallops. Overall a really enjoyable day.”
