THE BEST FOOD TOUR! - Our guide Keigoh was amazing! He provided an in depth insight into the local food culture and, broadly speaking, the japanese culture. He also taught us how to order food and drinks in japanese, which also proved to be highly useful. Furthermore, the four locations were unique for their food as well as their atmosphere. The local establishments were by no means touristy: we would have never found these spots without our trusty and friendly guide. Also, we felt that the tour’s pace was well adapted to our group and we didn’t feel rushed between each location. We highly recommend this tour : it was certainly one of the best nights of our trip!
KANPAI!

An Unforgettable Culinary & Cultural Experience in Osaka Japan - I recently joined the culinary tour..
The tour felt calm, personal, and very thoughtfully paced. From the first moment, there was a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that made it easy to connect and fully enjoy the experience. The guide led me to a quieter, more traditional side of Japan, far from the crowds and noise of the big city.
Instead of touristy spots, we visited small, local places that felt genuine and authentic. Through these everyday locations and the food itself, I gained a deeper understanding of Japanese culture and daily life in a very natural and approachable way.
What made this tour stand out was the personal attention and care throughout the experience. Everything felt well-balanced, easygoing, and carefully chosen, making the tour both meaningful and enjoyable.
If you’re looking for an authentic, relaxed, and personal way to experience Japan through its food and culture, I highly recommend this tour. It’s an experience that stays with you long after it ends.
I would also like to personally thank you for allowing me to experience Japan in a slightly different and truly special way.

Don't miss this tour - This was a great experience. We got to visit wonderful local restaurants and bars, learn more about the culture, and see/taste a side of Osaka we wouldn't have discovered alone. Highly recommend taking this tour.

Keigoh was an excellent... - Keigoh was an excellent guide. We went to places I never would have even noticed by myself, let alone fine to. There are some true gems on this tour. The food was amazing! Keigoh will order for you and you can make adjustments as needed. We were a small group, but everyone was easy to talk to so it didn't matter. I highly recommend this tour if you want something more authentic Osaka with a local, Japanese guide.

A great way to experience local, non-touristy restaurants - We had a great time on this food tour. It ended up only being my girlfriend and I, and so it felt more like an evening out with a local friend, which was fun. We visited a few different local small restaurants, trying a variety of dishes at each. It was a nice change of pace to be a bit off the tourist circuit and get to experience more local-like places.

Amazing experience - Keigo-san was fantastic and took us to many hidden gems this big city. We wanted to avoid the usual tourist spots in Namba/Shinsaibashi and this was perfect. We really enjoyed the garichu, the chicken kushiyaki, and especially the home-style bars in the second half of the tour. Thank you again!!

The perfect small group... - The perfect small group Osaka food tour!! I loved that this tour was in a different area than a lot of the other options and felt very local and personal. Our small group was able to go to much smaller restaurants and get to know our guide and each other much better. The food was delicious and a great variety! Highly recommend this experience!!
