The Japantown Food Tour by Edible Excursions is a delicious way to explore one of San Francisco’s most historic neighborhoods. Led by a local food expert, this guided walking tour takes guests through San Francisco’s Japantown, one of only three remaining Japantowns in the United States, while highlighting the hidden restaurants and small family-run spots that make the area so special. Along the way, you’ll sample authentic Japanese favorites like bento boxes from Super Mira Market, onigiri from Kissako Tea, takoyaki from Yama-Chan, mochi donuts from Mochill, and ramen from Hinodeya, plus a few additional surprises.

The tour runs Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, starting near 1737 Post Street, and blends local history with great food and culture. You may even stop by Paper Tree, a beloved shop known for its handmade Japanese paper, where guests sometimes get an impromptu origami lesson. It’s a fun and flavorful way to experience Japantown while supporting local businesses.
