5.00The perfect small group Osaka food tour!! I loved that this tour was in a different area than a lot of the other options and felt very local and personal. Our small group was able to go to much smaller restaurants and get to know our guide and each other much better. The food was delicious and a great variety! Highly recommend this experience!!

5.00Keigoh is a great guide! It takes small groups at once which makes the experience more intimate and allows to visit smaller izakayas/bars frequented by locals. He's very enthusiastic. Small groups allow you to learn about various aspects of Japanese culture. The tour varies sometimes but during our visit everything was delicious. We took the tour in English and he is able to describe each dish. Although we love Japanese food, he has made us discover new delicious dishes/cocktail. His good humor and passion are contagious.///// Keigoh was a great tour guide. He hosts little groups at a time for a more intimate/private experience. This also allows you to visit smaller izakayas that are only known to the locals. He is very enthusiastic, and the size of the groups allows you to get to know Japanese culture thrown him. The different locations vary from time to time, and even though we enjoy Japanese cuisine regularly, we we're impressed by the selection of delicious meals we had. His English allows him to describe each meal with accuracy and share stories with us. His passion for food is contagious.

5.00This izakaya tour was a fantastic way to experience the real Osaka! I loved exploring the quiet, old streets near Osaka Castle and visiting hidden izakayas and a bar that I never would have found on my own. The food was delicious, and our guide, Keigo, was super knowledgeable about izakaya food and spoke excellent English. It was a great opportunity to enjoy authentic local food and drinks alongside locals. Highly recommended!
