We loved the tour! Steph, our guide, shared many fun and interesting facts about Osaka, about the food and drinks, about living in Japan and customs and traditions. She was truly amazing and made the tour so much fun!

A great way to indoctrinate into the food and culture of Osaka. We visited 5 restaurants and our group was accommodated to any allergens or food requests. The tour guide, Joseph, was a fun host who explained the various dishes.

Excellent evening eating and drinking local specialities in small local venues. Our guide Mari was amazing, not only giving information about the food but also Osaka and Japan in general. You get chance at every stop to sit and chat to other people on the tour whilst you eat, which makes it a very fun and sociable evening. Drinks at two of the five venues were included, at the other three they were optional and payable. One of our best experiences in Japan, highly recommend.

Brian was terrific; he really knew his local food. He was personable, funny, and knowledgable about all things Japan. If you join him for a food tour you will not regret it.
