Japan has plenty of food tours, and they suit very different trips. We compared the best day tours and multi-day journeys, ours included, with prices, group sizes and what each one leaves out.

Fukuoka might be Japan's best food city, and it's still one most travellers skip. This guide covers where to eat proper Hakata ramen, how to drink like a local at a kaku-uchi counter, which yatai actually invented yaki ramen, and where to escape the city for a day.

I've spent years walking into the restaurants most people walk past. Places with faded facades, handwritten menus, and an old person cooking one thing with total focus. Then I discovered Japan's Dirty Michelin, and found out there's actually a name for what I'd been doing.
