Great food, great fun, great host. - Andy was the best food guide we have had in a very long time - he was fun and funny, loves Osaka and is deeply knowledgeable about the area and the great food it serves. His choice of food options was excellent, as was the quality of everything we ate, and his warm and irreverent relationship with the restauranteurs we visited was the icing on the cake. An easy five stars!

Kenzo is the BEST! - This was a GREAT small group tour! Our guide Kenzo was fantastic - he was fun and chill, easy to talk to, and knowledgeable about Osaka's local food and traditions. He took us to 5 small, family-run places where we got to meet the restaurant owners and sample some really excellent food and enjoy a few drinks. A very fun night - highly recommended!

An unforgettable tour experience - I had a fantastic experience on the tour! Our guide was not only hilarious but also knowledgeable. Instead of typical Japanese restaurants, he took us to hidden gems loved by locals. The recommendations were spot-on, offering something for everyone, from sushi to ramen. It was a great way to enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine and the local vibe. Highly recommend this tour for a true culinary adventure

Perfect Tour for First Time Visitors to the Area - The tour was a fantastic introduction for first time visitors to Japan. For several hours, we were taken to different locations amongst a staple in Osaka. Anna was knowledgeable about the food, people, and area. She was also passionate about the area which helped ease our nerves!

A fantastic Osaka food journey - Daniel was a fantastic guide, easy going and funny with a wealth of knowledge about Osaka’s food scene. He took us to places that we wouldn’t have thought to visit ourselves and I’m still dreaming about Johnny’s fried chicken! A great opportunity to walk through buzzing Osaka with some tasty treats. Would highly recommend.

Street food in Osaka - This tour was fantastic! Andy was a great guide. Not only did he have a great sense of humour, he was also very intersting. His students must have loved him when he was a history teacher. He gave us information about Japan in general but also about Osaka. And our group was up for a good time which made this tour one of the major highlights of my trip!

The best tour! - Andy was a phenomenal host. He's got such a love for the food and culture of Osaka. The food was delicious and interesting. I am a huge fan of Japanese cuisine, and I was scared that we were only going to have super popular and familiar dishes. To my surprise, we had several dishes I was unfamiliar with. We went into some hole in the wall establishments that provided lots of yummy food. If you come to Osaka, please book this tour. You'll be happy that you did!
