地元マスターガイドと巡る上野グルメツアー

The Ueno Food Tour was amazing! Kaori was my guide. She is knowledgeable, and her English is excellent. I learned about the origins of popular dishes like Nikujyaga. There was a GENEROUS amount of food to eat, and we stopped at 5 different eating establishments, each a specializing in specific dish - my favorite of which was the wagyu beef yakiniku which was served in an air conditioned restaurant at a table with a built-in grill. The beef was served raw, and since it was thinly sliced, it took just a few minutes to grill. It was without a doubt a place I would not have found on my own by just walking the streets of Ueno or hours Googling. The walking itself was not strenuous nor rushed, and we walked at a calm yet efficient pace. Kaori-san was kind enough to take pictures throughout the tour, and I am grateful she did. Like me, she takes pictures of the food before eating.
