Kawagoe Japanese Food Tour : Unagi Kaiseki and Sake near Tokyo
Kawagoe , Saitama Prefecture
Free CancellationFrom $ 176.05
Duration: 2 hours (approx.)Enjoy a unique culinary experience featuring a performance by a master eel chef with over 40 years of expertise, paired with traditional Japanese cuisine and kaiseki dishes, complemented by sake and fresh wasabi! Unlike sushi, ramen, tempura, or soba, eel is considered a premium ingredient in Japan—often reserved for special occasions and celebrations. This is an exclusive cultural experience you won’t find in izakayas or standard food tours. Kawagoe is just a 30-minute train ride from central Tokyo, offering easy access to a charming historic townscape reminiscent of the samurai and ninja era. It’s a popular sightseeing destination that is far less crowded than Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, or Mt. Fuji. We recommend a full-day itinerary: spend the morning exploring Chichibu or Moominvalley Park, then in the evening, stroll through Kawagoe in a kimono for an unforgettable experience.
