5.00This was a really good experience to taste local food at night. You will absolutely get full from eating all the different dishes. Tomoki explained in great detail the backstories of the food, including where it comes from and what it is made of. He also asked about my interests and what I wanted to see, and gave many recommendations.

5.00We had the rare opportunity to try whale meat, which is something you don’t get to eat very often. We also enjoyed many authentic Japanese dishes that locals actually eat. This tour is definitely highly recommended.

5.00Wow what an amazing evening, Tomiko was so passionate and engaged when telling us the history and flavors behind each dish. There were lots of varieties of liquor we tried, and I could almost not eat anymore by the end. The whale was my favorite! Thank you so much Tom! What a beautiful evening! Sarah & Emilie

5.00After joining the food tour in Shinsekai, I joined the Tenma tour as well. This tour offered a more local food experience, featuring the kinds of dishes that businesspeople often enjoy after work. The unique atmosphere of Tenma and its traditional shopping streets gave me a real sense of the area’s history. I was able to gain a deeper understanding of Osaka through this tour.
