Taking a bite (or a few) out of Osaka’s kitchen - Taka was a marvelous guide. An Osaka-native, he shared a lot of insight into the local cuisine and cooking techniques, and of course, knew all the best stalls to get our grub on! I chose this tour because I wanted to try fugu, but there’s absolutely no pressure to try it, if you’re scared or uninterested. I can guarantee that you won’t leave hungry either! Overall, it was a valuable experience and I can’t recommend it enough!

Gochiso-sama-deshita!! - What an awesome foodie experience for true foodies. I was paired up with another solo traveler who was a chef based in Germany. Taka, our local guide, walked us through the busy seafood market stalls, negotiated with the fish mongers in the local lingo and boy did we eat a ton. Fugu, oysters, tuna, fish cakes, scallops, eel. According to Taka the cold winter is the best time of year for the freshest seafood. Arigatogozaimasu Taka!!!!!

Highlight of Japan Family Trip - Food tour was great and the favorite tour of our stay in Japan. It definitely fulfilled the family's need for sushi, trying everything from fish cakes to sea urchin and pufferfish. Our guide was very friendly and patient with our 2 year old, who tried everything as well, and was amazing with pointing out all the unique things in the market to see if we wanted to try it. This will be a highlight of our Japan trip!
