5.00This was hands down the best tour we had on our whole trip. Our tour guide, Suga, was amazing! He was soo funny, relatable, knowledgeable, and did a great job making our group feel connected. As a native of Osaka, he gave us so many tidbits and cultural context. Make sure you show up to this tour hungry! There was so much food, and all of it was delicious. An extremely unique experience, and the highlight of the Osaka leg of our trip. I see why this tour is so highly rated.

Great opportunity to try authentic local food and learn about Japan

5.00We loved this food tour - it was a great opportunity to try delicious local food, learn about Japan and meet new people. The tour took around 3 hours and you get to try different types of food from 5 different restaurants. It was a small group size which was great, and we had an awesome group - it was lovely to meet new people on their Japan trips. Dom was a fab host and really informative - he was able to provide lots of info on Japanese food, culture and history which really added to our enjoyment of the tour. If you don't know any Japanese or would find walking into a local eatery in Shinsekai intimidating, I would recommend this tour - you'll get a worthwhile peek into local food and culture which it would be a shame to miss.

5.00Had a wonderful time with Bennet from Osaka food tours. The selection of restaurants was very well curated and afforded us a wide variety of delicious local food that we would never have found on our own! Strongly recommend to anyone looking for a lovely stroll through the streets of Osaka while feasting on yummy dishes! Was very full by the end of it! Bennet was a very friendly guide who shared many interesting facts about the city and gave us great insight into the dishes we ate including how best to enjoy them! Really glad we booked this. Took around 3 hours.
Amazing food, lots of learning, and lots of fun!

5.00We had an amazing time with Yuichi! We were introduced by my friend, who had gone on one of his tours a few months earlier and highly recommended him as a guide! He was so responsive, kind, and funny! We had a great time learning about what makes Osaka special. Yuichi made sure that everyone in the group was taken care of the whole night. We got to try great food and drinks, it was a highlight of our entire two-week trip!
