A great tour for the entire family! - This is a great tour of five different restaurants in a small walking area where we were served a very generous portion of different types of Japanese cuisine. So come hungry! Suka was our guide and he was fun, knowledgeable and great company. My family loved the small group environment and the other guests. We all agreed that it was a great way to experience local Japanese dishes and one of our favourite tours! I highly recommend it!

MUST DO tour if you come to Osaka. - As Osaka is known as “the kitchen of Japan” we knew we had to do a food tour during our stay. This tour was very highly rated so we thought we’d give it a go. The tour was operated in the famous Shinsekai area of Osaka, with the retro lights and entertainment district. It’s an excellent place to visit even without the food. Firstly this tour was not just a food tour it was also a sightseeing tour of the area which was great it gave time for each meal to go down before the next restaurant the pacing was excellent, our guide was very knowledgeable about Osaka and the area of the tour, we visited approx 5-6 different restaurants in the area and the food was fantastic and drink actually you get two free drinks however you can pay for more and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and able to recommend some very nice drinks also. We both left feeling very satisfied from a food and cultural perspective. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone and would say it’s practically a “Must do” if you’re visiting this Osaka. I would personally recommend you do this on your first night in Osaka as you will get a good knowledge of the food on offer. Our guide was also a very good blogger for Osaka and gave a link to her linktree acct this gave us useful links to restaurants/bars and even shopping and entertainment areas in Osaka during our stay. If I could give higher than a 5 I would.

Absolute Must for Foodies!! - We had the best time eating our way through Osaka! Our tour guide Brian was so friendly and knowledgeable (10/10 would recommend). He took us to so many amazing smaller restaurants with authentic Japanese food. My family loved trying multiple things and learning about the culture. This tour is great for foodies and cultural enthusiasts!
