Japanese cuisine is considered one of the world's finest, and experiencing it is an essential part of the journey.
Throughout the tour, guests enjoy a wonderful variety of authentic regional dishes, ranging from beautifully prepared sushi and sashimi to steaming bowls of ramen, handmade soba noodles, yakitori, tempura and traditional Japanese breakfasts. Fresh seasonal produce and exceptional presentation are hallmarks of Japanese dining, with every meal reflecting the pride and precision for which the country is famous.
One of the great joys of cycling in Japan is discovering small family-run restaurants, local cafés and hidden culinary gems that many international visitors never find. These authentic dining experiences provide genuine insight into Japanese culture while showcasing the flavours unique to each region we visit.
Of course, there are also opportunities to enjoy Japan's renowned sake, locally brewed beers and outstanding coffee culture along the way.
At Après Vélo, we believe the experience doesn't finish when the riding ends. Sharing exceptional food and conversation around the dinner table is every bit as important as the kilometres covered during the day.
