Specialties of Nagoya Food Tour – Daytime

Discover the delicious staples of Nagoya’s unique cuisine.

We all have heard about Sushi, Ramen, and Tempura, but have you ever heard of Hitsumabushi, Miso Nikomi Udon, or Tebasaki? Chances are you haven’t. And that’s okay. These and more are the local dishes you will get to try on a ‘Specialties of Nagoya Food Tour’. This tour will let you deep-dive into the Nagoyan cuisine and by extension the culture and even history of the city.

We have 2 start times for this tour, 11 am or 5 pm. This page is for the 11 am tour, so please visit the evening page to book a 5 pm start time.

This food tour of Nagoya will provide you with the unique opportunity to learn about the local food culture.

Meet your knowledgeable guide in the heart of the city from where you will start exploring the food scene on foot. There will be quite a bit of walking involved, but don’t worry lots of breaks at restaurants are provided throughout the tour where you can rest and recharge your energy.

You will try Miso Nikomi Udon, a variety of Udon noodles served in a steaming hot soup of red Miso paste, try pickles from the world’s longest radish, hear the story behind the local rice balls stuffed with shrimp Tempura, and explore the underground level of Japan’s oldest department store.

Learn how to eat Hitsumabushi, the local dish made from freshwater eel. Because in Japan it’s always more complicated than you think.

All of this and more is included in the ‘Specialties of Nagoya Food Tour’!
