We love food tours, yes we do… and your solo travel advisor Astrid Clements had a fabulous foodie time on her trip to Japan. Of course, food and culture walk hand in hand—Japan is no different. Astrid’s take was that Japan is a serious about their food as the French (the apex of food appreciation in Astrid’s opinion.) There is philosophy behind Japanese eating as well: traditionally taking an item from the land; one from the sea. (Sushi fits perfectly into this model!) Astrid shares what she learned dining in Japan, plus gets specific about some recommended food tours and restaurants. Our food episode warning is in place for this edition of our solo travel podcast: do not listen hungry!

Some of the questions answered on this episode…

• Is there a food tour scene in Japan?
• What is the best way to pick a food tour?
• Why is Japanese food so beautiful?
• What restaurant should I visit in Japan?
• What is the best thing to eat in Japan?

We love sharing the most innovative and informative content to get you out there solo. The AstridTravel Club is now open! Click through to see if the Club is right for you.
