This was an amazing introduction to the local food and drink of Osaka with a bit of local history and lots of fun thrown in. Andy includes generous portions at each of the five restaurants. You will not end the evening hungry!!!

Exceeded our expectations, left with a full stomach and well hydrated with nice drinks. Host Adam (Aussie) was very entertaining, knew his stuff, and made the experience about more than just the food.

Perfect introduction to Osaka street food! Tim and the team curate an informative and tasty tour. What I enjoyed was the pace with reservations lined up and tables ready, the variety of the food and drink offerings, and learning some Osaka history mixed in as we walked along. Communication ahead, during, and after through WhatsApp was also very helpful. Keep up the good work, Hungry Osaka Tours!
