Congratulations to Tess L. in Kyoto, winner of this year’s Foodie Focus Award!

Tess is always searching for delicious street food, cozy izakayas and local favourites featured in her award-winning Kyoto Night Food Tour which brings travellers along for the adventure.

As night falls, Tess leads her guests through the lantern-lit streets of Gion and Pontocho, tailoring the experience to their tastes and introducing them to the food, drinks and tucked-away spots that make Kyoto so special. One recent traveller said it felt like Tess was showing them “secret spots that most tourists may overlook.”
