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.

A great food tour that allows you to sample a wide range of different and delicious foods. Adam was an incredible guide, providing us with lots of facts about the area along the way. Highly recommended if you want to step away from the main tourist spots and eat like a local.
