5.00We had an amazing early evening food tour with Kai through Osaka. She took us to fabulous little restaurants we would never have found on our own and shared all her considerable food knowledge and Japanese customs (having been a chef herself for many years). I would highly recommend booking a tour with her if you are in Osaka

5.00We had a fantastic evening visiting three separate restaurants with our guide Kokoro and in the company of our fellow participants Jess and Josh. The food was exceptional and the company was great, relaxed and informative. Kokoro's input was so knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. We saw a side of Japan that we would have missed if we had not taken the tour. Thanks very much, Mary and Jack
