5.00My husband and I booked this tour last minute and I’m so glad that we did! We had a wonderful evening filled with delicious food and great company. Our tour was a group of 8 (including our guide) from all over. Our tour guide, Bernard, was even from New Zealand! Bernard was super knowledgeable about the area and made great conversation with everyone in the group. Our group was able to try a variety of different foods from udon noodles, sushi, fried mochi (AMAZING!!!), and more. I would definitely recommend this tour to get some delicious food and meet other fellow travelers.
Local Cuisine with character

5.00We had a fabulous time on the tour. Kevin our tour guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable. We went to some really interesting, out of the way places. I would highly recommend this tour if you are keen to experience local cuisine and have a few laughs along the way.
A MUST DO, especially for any 1st time visitors

5.00ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Our group was about 9 people, and our guide was Yuichi. He was super knowledgeable about Osaka and the food scene/culture. Overall, we went to 5 different spots and tried about 13 dishes. It was PHENOMENAL! I don't think I was disappointed by a single dish. The food we tried felt like bar/comfort food, and it was 10s across the board. I will say, I believe we were super lucky with our group. Everyone was easy-going and lovely to chat with, so we had an amazingly fun time! I spoke with one of the couples in my group, and they said they had actually done this tour before because they loved it so much! They did warn that our group was much more fun than the group they had previously, so I think that's something that could vary the experience just based on chance. Yuichi was the perfect host, just friendly, fun and made the whole experience that much better; he even hung out at some of the old school arcades in the area with us after the tour was over! This was definitely a highlight on my 2 week trip to Japan, and I've recommended it to multiple friends and family. I will be back!!
Fun but not good for anyone who does not eat meat

3.00Our guide Mio was the best part of this experience. She was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I am apescaterian though and they were informed and said they could accommodate. In one venue I was given a spear of asparagus, cold edamame and 2 mushrooms; another venue, fried geese. The area was fun and the group ver6 nice but it was not worth the money…. But Mio was great
A taste of Osaka … 😋

5.00Did this walking food tour with Dominic last weekend. A great experience. What a depth of knowledge. His presentation was well researched. A great character. He could communicate with all the locals in Japanese, seemed to know everyone on the street, and no question from any of the group went unanswered. For an exPat he was well versed in all things Japanese culinary/historical/geographical. A great selection of food and drink on offer. Good value tour.
Yummy and fun 🤩
