Overview

This night tour in Kyoto lasts about three and a half hours and includes over seven tastings of Kyoto-style Japanese food from small, locally owned restaurants. The food samples add up to a full dinner, with menus changing depending on fresh market ingredients. Along with the food, the tour includes three drinks per person, with options such as beer, sake, other alcoholic beverages, or non-alcoholic drinks. The tour visits several areas in Kyoto, starting with Nishiki Market where 2-3 family-run shops provide sample-size tastings that reflect Kyoto's food culture and history. Then participants visit 2-3 restaurants to try a range of dishes including Obanzai (Kyoto-style home cooking) and local izakaya fare. The group also walks through the Pontocho District for about 15 minutes to learn about Kyoto’s history and geisha culture. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are limited, so guests should inform the operator of any dietary restrictions at least one week before the tour date.
