Cannot recommend this tour and Adam anymore! And of course the food was amazing and such a good way to experience all different types of cuisine. Loved it!!

5.00Our guide Davin was fun and very helpful. He explained all of the food, gave us background about Osaka and life in Japan. I learned more about Osaka from our food tour than I did during my full day walking tour. We had a great group of people on the tour, and the drinks, food and conversations made it a highlight of the trip.
Wonderful food tour with Adam

5.00My partner and I booked this tour with the hopes to try some local food and hopefully learn a bit more about Osaka. Andy our tour guide, exceeded expectations - he was incredibly informative and made us feel really welcome and comfortable to ask any questions. The food was delicious, everything was explained in detail (for any fussy eaters who don’t want to try something - that isn’t a problem) and we had a really fun time throughout. Would 100% recommend this tour as a great way to learn a bit more about the city, try real local restaurants and have a fun, relaxed evening.
