    In preparation for an upcoming week in Kyoto, I’ve been spending a lot of time on this site… and loving it! However, its occurred to me (several times) that my wife and I are likely going to have a hard time finding some of these dishes / items – we don’t speak any Japanese.

    Are you aware of anyone that does individualized “food walking tours” in Kyoto – e.g. bringing us to some of their favorite hole-in-the-wall places? We’ve been to Kyoto before… this time, we want to discover some more places off the tourist map. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Hello Slobin,

    Foodie tours are a pretty specialized niche, so I don’t think there are ‘off the shelf’ tours available. There might be some touristy and gimmicky things, but if you are a foodie, you might not like them. Anyway, there is nothing that I have heard of.

    At the link below is Mie Tamada’s profile. She is a tour guide in Kyoto and someone that I can highly recommend.

    While I am not a tour guide, I sometimes give guide and translate for hardcore foodies and chefs. You can get in contact with me at the link below.

    The articles on KyotoFoodie should be very helpful to you, I think. That is what I made them for!!

    Best,

    Michael
