Tohoku Storm Chaser Food!

​At Japan Ski Tours, we think that skiing is about more than just skiing--especially when you're in a country famous for it's culinary delights.  As a guide company run and operated by guides who have years of experience living in Japan, we're excited to guide you to the best possible food options every night. 

We have nightly reservations for our favorite food-joints in the areas we're staying. These meals are optional but highly recommended! 

​The below slideshow is what we actually have on the menu for the Tohoku Storm Chaser trips--have a look! 



​Our criteria for selecting restaurants are strict: ​​
  • Most of our restaurant selections can't be found anywhere in English, don't have English menus, and the staff don't speak English (your guide will translate for you)
  • We choose restaurants based on what food is regionally famous in the area and personally tested for authenticity by locals and your guides
  • We understand that not everyone has $70 to spend on a meal--that's why we choose restaurants which meet a variety of price points, usually between $10-$40 per dinner not including drinks. 
  • We choose restaurants with an aim to provide you a diverse cross section of excellent Japanese cuisine from sushi to noodles, from rice to Japanese style BBQ​

Please Note

Dietary Restrictions
​

​​PLEASE NOTE: The areas we're going on this trip are so remote and off the tourist track that it's almost impossible to find an authentic restaurant experience that is completely non-smoking. Most of the places we go aren't crowded but there's always a chance that someone sitting in our vicinity might light up a cigarette. Unfortunately, this risk is the price of admission for good food in this region and we ask for your understanding. 

Participation in dinner isn't required and isn't included in the price of your trip. If you want to have dinner on your own--no problem, just let your guide know in advance. 

​Also note that sometimes we have to deviate from our planned meals because we can't make advanced reservations for everywhere we want to take you, so bear in mind that flexibility might be required.  
​
At JST we believe that skiing Japan and cultural experiences aren't mutually exclusive--that's why we try as much as possible to give you authentic food options. Unfortunately however, in Japan it's pretty much impossible to have an authentic culinary experience with dietary restrictions such as gluten intolerance and veganism, even pescetarians and vegetarians have a famously difficult time. 

If you have dietary restrictions such as that listed above, your guide and selected restaurants will probably not be able to cater to your needs. This can be discussed with the guide but you should be prepared to eat grocery store food for most dinners.
