Hello! My name is Yuma. I grew up in a family that runs a small Japanese sweets factory in the central part of Japan. After college, I lived out of a suitcase working in the US, Europe, and Asia. During my corporate life, I realized how hard it is to avoid tourist traps and discover great local food & culture without any help. That’s why I started Ninja Food Tours to let more people enjoy great Japanese food and learn the culture easily. I named our company Ninja Food Tours to help you be a food ninja after our food tours. I also love to see how people react after trying my food recommendations and I say “See! I was right!!”

Opening a restaurant was a pure extension of my passion… food and sake. Running a restaurant is a hard job but it gives me a constant reminder of how food connects people anywhere in this world.

My team is a group of unique individuals who share the same passion. I do believe you will have fun and experience something new with us.
