A Must-Do in Osaka! - The Hungry Osaka Tour is the perfect blend of history and food--and we were lucky enough to have the OG owner himself Andy as our guide. He brings the city to life with fascinating stories and takes you to hidden gems serving incredible local dishes. You’ll learn, laugh, and eat your way through Osaka like a true insider. Fun, delicious, and unforgettable—don’t miss it!

Must-do for foodies in Japan! - Best food tour in Japan!!! We took a food tour in each of the big three cities (Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka) and this one was by far our favorite. Anna was a wonderful guide — humorous and knowledgeable, filled with pride for her mother city — and the food certainly earned Osaka its reputation as the kitchen of Japan. The less touristy Shinsekai was also a welcome change of pace from Dotonbori.

Loved it! - We just finished a food tour in Osaka with Andy, and it was honestly one of the best food experiences we've ever had! Despite being a bit tired from travelling, Andy’s energy and enthusiasm totally revitalised us. He brought us to five completely different restaurants, each one offering something unique and delicious. We learned fun bits of local history (without it ever feeling like a lecture), played games, ate, drank, laughed—and never once felt rushed. It felt more like hanging out with a local friend who knows all the best spots. An unforgettable night!

Shirt brother for life - Andy was exceptional. Extremely knowledgeable not just about the types of food he was introducing to us on the tour, but also about Osaka, the rest of Japan, and culture as well. He also didn't sugar-coat everything and gave us realistic expectations about life and other experiences in Japan, which was very refreshing. Andy was incredibly friendly and felt like he was a part of our group by the end of the tour - we even gifted him a matching shirt we were all wearing, and he looked great in it! Can't recommend this tour enough if you get the opportunity while in Osaka - a great person to introduce you to great food!

Exquisite Taste Of Osaka - Most food tours have good food and this was no exception. But what separates the great tours from the good is the guide, and Andy was spectacular. He was funny and charismatic, but also provided fascinating nuggets about the history of Osaka and each dish we sampled. Add in that we were a very large group and he kept everyone engaged and entertained. Thanks Andy!
