Must do food tour

Jin was an instant hit with everyone in attendance. Our group was incredibly friendly, and everyone was incredibly kind. The restaurants were filled with energy and laughter, and the food was delicious and plentiful. The value was phenomenal. My favorite was the tiny little alley.

Amazing Experience

When I arrived I turned out I was going to be the only person on the tour, however Haruko made sure this would not be an issue. She was engaging and interesting and made the tour very enjoyable. All the food I tried was delicious and was in places I wouldn’t have gone alone.

Great food tour

We had an incredible time on our food tour with Ryo! From start to finish, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Japanese food and culture. Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, and he did a fantastic job explaining the history and significance behind each dish.

You gotta go!

Our guide, Ukyo was awesome! So funny and personable. The food was delicious, the sightseeing was fun, and the price was right. You will leave very full. A must for anyone in Osaka with an appetite.

Great and tasty food tour

We did this food tour with Haruko. A very nice lady who guided us through the Osaka kitchen. We ate in two restaurants, and besides that, food was plentiful.

Our food tour with Hanoko was amazing! We got to try 14 different courses, and every portion was generous and delicious. The service throughout the tour was fast and impeccable.
