Ah, the bustling cityscape of Tokyo with its imposing skyscrapers and throngs of important-looking people. And oh Kyoto, known for its high art, intricate temples, bountiful gardens and sophistication. Delightful, really. But here, we are in OSAKA. To put it politely, we aren’t perturbed about your charismatic existence. Our focus leans towards gastronomy.

Prepare to explore (1) an elegant, high-end department store marketplace, (2) the renowned Kuromon Ichiba, where tantalizing, both raw and cooked, delicacies compete for your palate, (3) a Japan-influenced Korea Town, a place seldom traversed by tourists, and (4) a historic district brimming with a variety of meats, fish, vegetables, and other staples and refreshments targeting the locals. Guiding you will be a cordial, native English-speaking host, thoroughly soaked in the spirit of Osaka, ardent about detailing every tiny facet of this vast culinary environment. Embrace yourself for an exploration filled with sights, fragrances and savors!
