Kenzo is an excellent guide with extensive knowledge of Osaka and the history of food in Osaka. He was very funny and kept the group engaged throughout the tour. My group came back full of food and with no complaints. Thanks Kenzo for a great time!

Wow. This was an incredible tour. So much fun, great energy, and the best tour guide. Andy is equally intelligent as he is funny, and he did an excellent job of engaging the whole group on Osaka history as well as cultural nuances of being English in Japan. We had a blast trying new food and meeting new people, and it was an overall 11/10 experience.

Very friendly tour with an opportunity to sample various dishes unique to Osaka. When I mentioned a dish that wasn’t included, Andy provided three recommendations with links to their locations. I thought this was above and beyond the call of duty.

This tour was the perfect introduction to Osaka. The food was delicious and Kenzo delivered amazing stories at each destination. He was one of the very best tour guides we’ve had in Japan and will recommend this experience to anyone who visits the area.
