What To Expect

Begin your evening food tour in Osaka by meeting your guide and small group at the designated central-city location.

Spend three hours exploring a variety of low-key local eateries with your guide, who has a wealth of insider information to share with you. Visit five different places, ranging from a backstreet stall to a standing bar. Dine at places you probably wouldn’t find independently, and try foods that many travelers overlook.

As well as many different dishes, two alcoholic drinks are included, such as sake, shochu, or other local favorites. Engage in some fun quizzes along the way and learn more about Osaka’s culture and cuisine. The tour ends at the same place you started—return to your accommodation by yourself or keep the party going independently.

Great showcase of Osaka’s food
Katherine_S, Apr 2024
Hands down will recommend to anyone I know visiting Osaka. Tommy was an excellent, knowledgeable guide who led our group on an evening of great food, drinks and stories. Trust his beverage recommendations - they’re a winner!
Fun and filling night out in Osaka
Jane_D, Apr 2024
I was told to say"Kevin was OK" but he wasn't He was great!!! A very knowledgeable, funny "people person", who made the whole group instantly at ease and having fun. There were so many delicious dishes and even drinks included and of course you can buy more, if you like. This was a very entertaining, filling, fun tour. PS to Kevin's boss -give him a raise! 😁😁👍
We all enjoyed it :)
Melissa_M, Apr 2024
A good night, we all enjoyed it :) We weren't sure about a tour with others but it was good and the right mix of people. We had a 6 year old with us as well which wasn't a problem. There is no way we would have found or tried the food we did in such a small area. All the places were lively and added a bit of culture to the night. Our guide was happy and friendly. Overall a good night and we would recommend for others to want to taste a few of the ways they eat their food. Thank you :)
Fun and delicious food tour!
Alexander_G, Apr 2024
Very fun and informative - stopped at many great places and ate delicious food! Would definitely recommend!
Great time with Adam
Austin_P, Apr 2024
Adam was an awesome guide and the tour was a great time. Great food and great history and stories about Osaka.
Exactly what we hoped for!
Holly_T, Apr 2024
We love to do food tours in any new city and this was one of the best of them. Michael was a fun and caring guide, sharing cultural and historical knowledge alongside great local food. The experience felt authentic yet suitable for most pallets. Excellent tour - I want to do more tours with this company now!
Great tour!
Danielle, Apr 2024
We had a great time on this tour! We got to try lots of new foods and hear about the story of the neighborhood. Also loved being able to ask all of my random Japanese culture questions to our guide. Highly recommend
Worth it!
Jason_L, Apr 2024
This was an enjoyable and memorable food tour! Our guide Kevin was knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. He provided us with insightful cultural background and tips. He was resspectful, kind, and thoughtful. He even introduced us to some of the locals! I would highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Jason, it's always a pleasure to have guests like you. You likewise were respectful, kind, ready for a laugh and curious about our food and Osakan culture. What more could we want is a guest:) Manyyy thanks and enjoy Japan.
Best food tour ever!
Conrad_C, Apr 2024
Adam is by far the best tour guide we’ve ever had! His knowledge, humour and Aussie flair makes the experience more than just about food. You’ll also learn so much about the history of Osaka as well. Can’t recommend this tour enough!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Yes, that is a win:) "Best tour guide we've had". We'll take that with glee. Thank you so much for coming. We really appreciate you choosing us. Kind regards, Andy-Kenji (and Adam haha)
Very enjoyable- sociable and informative.
Rachel_S, Apr 2024
Very enthusiastic and friendly guide Anna who created a good atmosphere on the tour. Lots of interesting info about local food and plenty of it in varied venues.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Rachel, brillant. Anna will be happy to read this! It's simple: local food, a note on the food eaten, the history of the area ... together with laughs. What more could you want from Osaka!
Great experience
Stewart_R, Apr 2024
Miko was an excellent guide and we thoroughly enjoyed the food and the tour. The area around Shinsekai is very interesting and having a guide show us round was really interesting. Thanks! :)
Great Tour

Delicious food, Miko was a very nice guide with nice story’s! Shinsekai is a nice place to be. So we recommend the tour
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Marie, thank you for the kind words. Mico will be more than happy to read it. Connecting with the locals via food, history and personal stories.
Terrible
Thomas_T, Apr 2024
Food was poor street food in places where drunks were loud and obnoxious. Could do without the porn as well. Dirty market. Not fun but memorable for all the wrong reasons.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thomas, thank you for your honest review. We strive for excellence and we are sorry that we have let you down. This area is local and we have very close interactions with Japanese that live in the surroundings (we apologize that the locals were drunk). We will closely consider your opinion and consider changes where required. Kind regards, Andy-Kenji
Osaka food experience
Alejandro_R, Apr 2024
Kevin is a great host, we got a good part of the history of the city, the food & drinks. Plenty of food and entertaining in a relatively short time. Great food by the way. Lots of fun!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Ale, Your kind words are much appreciated. Kevin is a natural people person and is in his element when talking about our local food. Join us again 😄
Lots of fun!
Mary_S, Apr 2024
We had such a fun evening with our guide, Michael, exploring the eateries of Shinsekai on a rainy night in Osaka. Great food, entertaining stories, lots of variety, and he even made it work with one of our group members who is pescatarian. Would recommend for anyone coming to Isaka and wanting a crash course in the local delicacies.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Mary it was a pleasure to have you. Going to 5 eateries is a lot of organising. But the big reward is when you see happy faces with full belly's. Thank you and.....thank you
Delicious local food
Tyler_C, Apr 2024
Some of the best food we had during our trip to Japan! Highly recommend this tour as the owner and guides have great relationships with the local eateries. Shout out to Kevin for a fun night in Osaka!
Wish it had been better
Deepmala_R, Apr 2024
If we had had a guide of Japanese heritage, I think it would have been a better experience. A German-born guide, one who did not have Japanese cultural background, detracted from the tour.
An evening of delights
ebsanchez, Apr 2024
Fun time and delicious food. What more can you want? Adam is a super guide and we enjoyed the evening tremendously. The places we visited we would never have found by ourselves and the foods we were served we’d never have eaten on our own. Great tour to start our vacation Osaka.
Best food tour!
Alyssa_C, Apr 2024
Adam was an incredible guide for our tour, he is very knowledgable, humorous and easy to get along with. We loved this tour and all of the local dishes!! Would 100% recommend for anyone visiting Osaka, this is a MUST!
