An Unforgettable Night in Japan’s Food Capital - The Osaka food tour was a highlight of our trip, largely thanks to our guide, Sara. Her passion for Osaka and its culinary scene was infectious, and it felt like we were exploring the city with a local friend. The neighborhood we walked through was vibrant and packed with energy, providing the perfect backdrop for the evening. We tasted a wide variety of wonderful dishes, and Sara added a special touch by sharing personal stories from her childhood and life, which made the history of the food feel so much more meaningful. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was great. We left feeling full and happy after making friends with the rest of the group throughout the night. If you want to truly experience why Osaka is considered the food capital of the world, I highly recommend this tour!

A Taste of Japan's Answer to Coney Island - Our tour guide, Mario, taught us all about Osaka's Shinsekai district and had us trying all kinds of food from dumplings to fried ice cream. We were so full by the end, but we had a great time and loved getting to know more about this fascinating part of the city!

Excellent food tour off the beaten track - Highly recommended. - Excellent food tour off the beaten track. Highly recommended. When you visit Osaka, it is easy to fall into the trap of mainstream eateries. To get under the skin of the city, you need to join a local on a food tour. James was an excellent guide who gave us really good insights into the city and the food scene. The food offering was a great variety and delicious. Not to mention the drinks. The old men's plums are rather delicious in a Shochu with soda water. And the quantity? We were all well-fed and couldn't eat any more. The group size was limited to 8, so we could go to smaller venues too. Thank you for a great time!

Great guide, mediocre food - We had Kiko as our guide and he was amazing!! Very knowledgeable on the area and so much fun to talk to 🥰🥰 But I think the food variety could’ve been better as some food wasn’t unique to Osaka or particularly special. The drinks were pretty good tho!
