FAQ

We provide information on wonderful restaurants in the suburbs of Tokyo, long-established traditional Japanese restaurants, popular shops, etiquette courses, as well as tours in search of seasonal ingredients and local cuisine.
"Gourmet food" does not equal "luxury."
The theme is enjoying food.
Enjoy the cuisine prepared by our restaurant chefs.

(1) Dishes made with seasonal and local ingredients

There are many different ingredients in Japan. The best way to enjoy fresh ingredients, such as ingredients that can only be found in a particular area, locally grown vegetables, and local specialty meat and seafood, is to experience them in their local area!

(2) Visit a restaurant that you normally can’t get into!

We will guide you to restaurants that are difficult for individuals to visit, such as world-famous famous restaurants, long-established restaurants, and restaurants that are usually only open for dinner, allowing you to use them for special lunch hours.

(3) Solo participants are welcome! Fellow gourmets are waiting for you!

Even if your friends and family can't make Itinerary, feel free to join us. One of the things to enjoy is chatting with the other participants. Enjoy a fun time away from your everyday life.

(4) Chef's explanations of the dishes will add color to Meals!(Excluding some tours)

The chef who actually cooks the food will greet you and explain Meals to you. You don't usually get to hear about his commitment to ingredients and his thoughts on cooking.
