Hi Marie. We rarely do organised tours, usually preferring to explore slowly on our own, however, food tours are something we are happy to splurge on especially in Japan. It really does come down to personal interest and budget in deciding whether it is worth it. It is a bigger ticket item and I would suggest you read the tour operator's information carefully and read reviews rather than rely on ratings when deciding so you can focus on the aspects that matter to you. In this article and other food tour articles on our site, I go into quite a bit of detail about the tour to help you decide if it would be a good addition to your itinerary or not. I am selective about the food tours we do and we do really enjoy the Arigato ones so will do more on future trips, our experience has been that they include quality stops, the groups are a good size so it is easy to converse with the guide and across the whole group and we learn something each time. One reason we enjoy food tours in Japan generally is that the guides are very generous with their general knowledge of the city so we discover new spots to try on other days, we always come away with more bar and restaurant recommendations than we can fit into the remaining trip.

Sorry Neda, I'm not aware of any discount codes for these tours
