Bursting with flavor!
We immensely enjoyed our food tour with Yappy. He was full of history and stories of Golden Gai and introduced us with great enthusiasm to the food culture of the city. At every stop, we encountered a burst of new flavors and interesting conversation. Thank you for making our stay in Tokyo even more memorable.
Jacob will make your evening memorable!
Jacob our guide was simply amazing. He was knowledgeable, fun and passionate. We had an amazing time tasting delicious food, learning about the neighborhood and Japanese culture but also having fun, drinking and singing karaoke. His English is impeccable and his enthusiasm for food and Japan is contagious! A must do while in Tokyo.
Delicious way to learn about Tokyo!
I took this food tour through Omoide Yokocho, Kabukicho, and Golden Gai on November 1 with five other family members. It was our third evening in Tokyo when we took the tour and we all thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary, food, and the insights of Claire, our excellent tour guide!
We were all first-time visitors to Japan and staying in a hotel near Kabukicho during our time in Tokyo. Claire was warm and friendly and helped us navigate the narrow walkways of Omoide Yokocho and Golden Gai. We learned so much about Japanese food, including helpful phrases to say when starting and ending a meal and the fact that many Japanese restaurants tend to be very specialized in one type of cuisine or dish. The tour involved stops for yakitori, ramen, and sushi, topped off with a drink at a bar in Golden Gai. Everything was delicious, and we felt we were able to try places we wouldn't have the know-how to navigate on our own.
Food is a meaningful and nourishing way to learn about history and culture. I will definitely book another tour with Arigato for my next trip in Japan! Thank you to the Arigato team and Claire for such a well-organized and delicious tour!
