5.00Best Japanese food tour! We only had one day in Osaka, and we wanted to make sure we got to explore the amazing food scene with our short time there. Andy our guide was extremely knowledgeable, fun, and brought us to delicious spots. This was the perfect way to experience Osaka food classics.
Miosaka 👍

5.00Food was amazing, and if you are lucky enough to get Miosaka as your guide you are in for a treat. If you are going to do a food tour in Osaka this is the company to use. Thankyou.

3.00overall good, lighthearted, fun experience to experience the Shinsekai area. our guide did provide a good overview of different types of foods and drinks. we had a larger group, so maybe that limited the restaurants we were able to go to, but the food didn't wow us. if you had a lot of experience with various japanese cuisine (and maybe had higher expectation for the quality), then this tour may not be for you; if you haven't tried many street food/small eats, then this would be a great introduction.
