You’ll have the chance to sample a variety of local foods, including the famous and ubiquitous takoyaki (commonly known as “octopus balls”), okonomiyaki (a kind of savoury pancake) and kushikatsu (skewered meats and vegetables). The cost of these – and one drink per person – is included. If you prefer, your guide can also take you to a huge variety of other establishments, from ramen noodles to izakaya bars… the choice is yours!
