Testimonials

What Our Guests Say

"Felt like we'd known him for years. Wanted an authentic lunch with no Ramen for a change — a 3rd floor Hot Pot Restaurant we never would have found."

Steve Norton

"He took me to hole-in-the-wall spots — a peppercorn specialist in Tsukiji, a Matcha beer spot. We finished at a rooftop foot bath with a beer and an amazing view."

Adam Z

"He took us where the locals go. Hidden spots he knew we'd enjoy, and a quaint yakiniku place with over the top wagyu beef."
