About Ninja Food Tours

yuma wada tokyo tour guide

Founder Yuma Wada

Greetings! I’m Yuma, a certified sake professional, formally trained sushi chef, and the proud owner of Ninja Food Tours. Additionally, I manage a sake bar in Shinjuku.

My roots trace back to a family-operated Japanese sweets factory in central Japan. Post-college, my journey led me across the US, Europe, and Asia, experiencing the challenges of navigating through tourist traps and uncovering authentic local food and culture. Motivated by this, I founded Ninja Food Tours, aiming to make Japanese culinary delights and cultural exploration accessible to everyone. The name “Ninja Food Tours” reflects our mission to empower you as a food ninja after our tours. Celebrating our 8th year in 2024, we’ve evolved from a one-man venture to offering unparalleled, exclusive food experiences that are truly one-of-a-kind.

Our small team gained recognition on Netflix’s “Somebody Feed Phil” (Kyoto episode), CNN, Lonely Planet, and various esteemed platforms. Our team, comprising a Kaiseki chef, sake sommeliers, and even a Karaoke queen, shares our passion. I am confident that you’ll not only have a blast but also encounter something uniquely new and fun with us!
