Description
This hidden gem nightlife tour will show you a side of Shibuya that tourists never see. Step back into history, visit spots, and have experiences that locals have enjoyed for decades! Visit drinking and dining stalls that are hiding in plain sight. Learn about the culture of Tachinomi bars where diners snack on local seasonal dishes and drink with friends and coworkers. Try some of the best local Ramen at a favorite shop that has stood the test of time-serving local fans for over 60 years! And have a dessert experience that you will never forget. Your inner child will have so much fun on our last dessert stop, but we can’t tell you much here as we don’t want to spoil the surprise.
We will start off the evening in a classic Tachinomi-a Japanese standing bar ('tachi' meaning stand, 'nomi' meaning drink). Traditionally, they were a no-frills type of bar located around train stations or in working-class areas, where salarymen would come to unwind after a hard day’s work. Let’s kanpai (toast) and kick off the tour in local style.
Japanese ramen has taken the world by storm in recent years but there is nothing quite like a real bowl of ramen enjoyed in the back streets of the big city. We will be visiting a ramen shop with a lot of history that has even been featured in a Japanese manga (graphic novel) — Please note on days when this shop is closed we will visit a backup shop serving amazing regional ramen.
Wind your way along back streets as we head over to our hidden gem izakaya (Japanese pub) wonderland where your guide will help you enjoy some of the best local dishes and drinks with a retro atmosphere like nothing you’ve seen before. Choose your own sake, beer, or special mixed drinks at this spot. (Non-alcoholic beverages are also available) before we head off to a sweet finish with our surprise dessert experience.
3-hour tour of the back streets and hidden spots around Shibuya. Try local snacks and over 12 different dishes with 3 drinks included visit a famous 60 -year-old iconic Ramen shop. Learn about the history of Shibuya dating back to the Showa era and discover some special spots from Tokyo’s past. This evening tour will take you to places that you would simply not find on your own.

Nada que reprochar, todo salió como estaba planteado. Comparé precios antes de reservar y esta era la opción más conveniente. En Food Stops nos quedamos un buen rato en silencio, mirando. Una experiencia que vale cada minuto.

Imperdível
Muito felizes com a escolha. O sobremesa vale por si só. Food Stops foi o momento do dia. Sai mais que fazer solto, mas poupa toda a organização. Não pense duas vezes, reserve.

Super recomendo. Chegamos ao hotel mais rápido do que dizia a reserva. Nos deixaram em Recepção sem nenhuma food Stops desnecessária. Recomendaria a qualquer um que visite Tokio.
