Ninja Food Tours runs three different formats in Tokyo, and the name says little about any of them. The Shinjuku izakaya tour is a walking evening between three or four small bars with food. The Asakusa tour is a two-hour street food walk that starts before lunch. The wagyu and sake evening is a seated course dinner in one restaurant.

Most-reviewed first. A walk through izakaya, a daytime street food walk and a seated dinner.

Shinjuku izakaya, east to west

The izakaya tour starts at the Kirin City restaurant at Shinjuku 3-25-9 on the east side and ends near SoftBank Nishishinjuku on the west side, so you cross the station on foot during the evening. Over three and a half hours the group of up to ten visits three or four izakaya for more than 14 tastings, grilled skewers and sashimi among them, with three drinks of your choice: sake, local beer or soft drinks. An optional sake tasting before the tour costs extra. The operator may move the starting point and confirms it by e-mail a week before the tour. How it compares with the other Shinjuku tours is on our Shinjuku food tour page.

Asakusa before lunch

The Asakusa walk meets at 11:30 at a standing sushi bar near Kaminarimon and finishes at Senso-ji about two hours later. The route listed by the operator includes Marugoto Nippon and a pass along Nakamise Street, where eating while walking is not allowed. Tastings come from five or more vendors. The Asakusa page sets it next to the sushi classes in the same streets.

Wagyu with sake at a table

The pairing dinner is the one Ninja Food Tours format without walking. It starts at 18:00 at Ushinobi on the second floor of a building in Hyakunincho, Shinjuku, and stays there for three hours with up to eight guests. The sample menu moves from wagyu tongue and tataki to sirloin steak and a wagyu hotpot, each course with its own sake. Beer and other drinks outside the pairing are extra. The sake page explains the terms on the menu, from nigori to namazake.

One week for diet requests

All three tours ask for food restrictions at least a week before the date and do not take last-minute requests. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are limited on each of them. None of the listings states an age rule; in Japan alcohol is served from 20. Free cancellation runs until 24 hours before the start.
