Arigato Japan Food Tours

Es gibt wirklich einige besondere Orte, die wir alleine nie finden werden. Sebastian war ein sehr kluger und fähiger Kerl, der viele gute Geschichten erzählte.

Fantastische Tour! So interessant und das Essen war einfach köstlich. Unsere Reiseleiterin Makki war wunderbar – sie kannte sich bestens aus und wir fühlten uns trotzdem wie unter Freunden. Absolut empfehlenswert – hoffentlich ist Makki auch Ihre Reiseleiterin!

Michie war eine so sachkundige, freundliche und energiegeladene Gastgeberin… und schaffte es, Essen, Kultur und Geschichte perfekt zu verbinden! Es ist ein malerischer Spaziergang durch die Altstadt von Tokio mit Zwischenstopps für köstliche Leckereien und Mahlzeiten.

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit und unsere Reiseleiterin Sae war einfach fantastisch. Am Ende des Abends fühlten wir uns wie alte Freunde. Unser Lieblingsstopp war eine authentische Izakaya, deren Speisekarte komplett auf Japanisch war. Zum Glück bestellte Sae ein köstliches Essen für uns, das perfekt zum Sake passte, darunter leckeres Namafu und cremige Yuba-Haut – beides Spezialitäten aus Kyoto. Es hat so viel Spaß gemacht, die Stadt mit einer ortskundigen Expertin zu erkunden, die uns zu einigen ihrer Lieblingsplätze führte.

Norma war fantastisch! Sie hat uns nicht nur alle Speisen ausführlich und anschaulich erklärt, sondern uns auch viele Tipps für Tokio gegeben. Sie war so herzlich und informativ. Ich kann diese Tour wärmstens empfehlen!

Super kompetent und freundlich! Wir haben unglaublich viel über die lokale Kultur und Geschichte gelernt und die Tour durch das Viertel sehr genossen. Vielen Dank an ihn! Die Tour hat zwar ein paar Stunden länger gedauert, aber wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und haben die zusätzliche Zeit gerne genutzt. Einziger Wermutstropfen: Das Essen auf der Tour war nicht so unser Fall. Es war okay, aber wir haben definitiv schon besser gegessen. Ich denke, da es sich um eine Tour mit größeren Gruppen handelt, ist es für das Unternehmen schwierig, Essen von den wirklich guten Restaurants zu bekommen. Diese sind oft sehr klein und brauchen die zusätzlichen Gäste nicht, da sie auch so schon gut laufen. Ich bin kein großer Feinschmecker, daher hat es mich nicht so sehr gestört. Der Rest der Tour war so toll und unterhaltsam, dass sie sich trotzdem absolut gelohnt hat. Ich habe auf der Tour viel mehr über Shinjuku gelernt, als ich es jemals alleine geschafft hätte!

Wir hatten eine fantastische Zeit! Unser Guide Yappy war hervorragend – er war sehr unterhaltsam und wusste viele interessante Dinge zu erzählen. Wir waren insgesamt acht Personen, und es gelang ihm, vier Teenager zu fesseln, was wirklich bemerkenswert ist. Ich kann die Tour uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Rai was really knowledgeable about the area and made the tour really fun beyond showing locations. We were taught restaurant etiquette and some really fun facts about some of the golden gai bars. highly recommended!! Food choices were excellent! I got to try some yummy things I would have never known to order on my own.

This tour is a great way to look at the "real” Tokyo, away from the business district and the high end shopping. The tour was both fun and educational. Our guide, Hannah, was a gem, very knowledgeable and personable. I would recommend this trip to others.

Josh was a great guide, very friendly, informative and great fun. He made sure that we also drank water as well as tasting some really great and unusual cocktails particular to Japan. He asked which we preferred cocktails or more whiskey based - I like both but my husband preferred whisky, so Josh took us to a bar to taste different Japanese brands. He also showed us a shrine which we never would have known was there and explained the culture and worship behind it. He told us lots of interesting things about Tokyo. He was much better than the guide the Travel Company we arranged the holiday with on arrival the day before to Japan! He made an enormous effort to ensure that we had a good time - I would highly recommend him.

We really enjoyed the food tour with Michie. We gained an insight into Japanese culture and ate food that most tourists don't get to see. It was very varied and we really enjoyed it. It is more than worth the price and is made all the more enjoyable by Michie's friendly company. We can recommend it to anyone who wants to experience something really special on their trip to Tokyo.

Our guide, Alex, was outstanding- friendly, knowledgeable and very considerate of guests needs. Great value for money as you get so much food included and you get to supports real local businesses. Exceeded our expectations, definitely recommend.

Yappy and Hana were absolutely amazing! They taught us everything from the origins of traditional dishes, history of each restaurant and it’s area, Japanese food manners and phrases, and much more. They also accommodated my husband’s shellfish allergy to ensure he could indulge at every stop. We truly were showed some of Tokyo’s best hidden gems and would do this tour again any day!

Our tour guide Wes was awesome! He was friendly, knowledgeable and easy going. He also gave us recommendations for our trip to Kyoto. It was just me and my daughter (14) on the tour so we had some time to explore different places, like a cool sticker shop and a few other stores. We started at a dessert spot and ended at a dessert spot. In between we had savory items.

We had a great time on our kawaii food tour of Harajuku! Our 8-year-old daughter loves all things kawaii and she enjoyed every stop and became best friends immediately with our wonderful guide, Michie. Michie went above and beyond on our tour, ensuring we saw (and tasted) everything.

Amazing amazing tour! From the hosts to the hidden gem stops, it's truly for people who want to get a local experience and would be uncomfortable trying to figure it out on their own. I normally don't go to bars on my own because I'm a little intimidated by the language barrier. However, being on this tour made everything so easy and I learned so much. I got to try a matcha martini which was totally the highlight of the tour!

This was really one of the biggest highlights of our trip. I travelled with my two kids (11 and 13 yrs) who cannot stop talking about it. The guide was both knowledgeable, and friendly and went out of her way to make sure we learned both about the food, culture and history
