Good food, great vibes! - Food was great and Scott felt like a very genuine and knowledgeable guide! We enjoyed the down to earth vibe of this evening, and it was especially fun to visit restaurants we never would have found otherwise! Great group dynamic was a big bonus. Our teenagers (14&15 y.o.) also enjoyed this evening a lot.

For our first night in... - For our first night in Osaka we chose to do this tour and it was not a mistake. Super fun evening to hole in the wall restaurants that we would’ve never found on our own. Our tour guide Tim was extremely knowledgeable about the food, the history of the dishes and the area itself. Highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic Food, Fabulous Guide - The tour was amazing. We tried a ton of delicious street food and local favorites in Osaka, like kushi katsu and takoyaki, and then we ended with a tasty udon soup and some honey ice cream. Our guide, Kenzo, was the best. A++. He made everything fun with a lot of explanation and jokes along the way. Our group really bonded thanks to Kenzo, so try to get him if you can. It was our third food tour in Japan, and even though the others were good, this was the best by far. One of the most memorable parts of our trip.

- We highly recommend taking this tour. It was one of our highlights of Osaka. Our guide, Anna, was amazing! Not only was she hilarious, she was also super knowledgeable about the area and very easy to be with. She took us to five local restaurants where we were greeted warmly: all of the dishes were different so it was a great way to try new types of food. At first we didn’t think that our boys (12 and 14 years old) would be into it, but they loved it too! Highly recommend.

Highly recommended - Highly recommended. You get to see some great hidden spots with great food that there is no way you would find yourself. The guide Tim - American up to finishing college and then 15 years in Japan - was so personable, knowledgeable and erudite. The trip was also exceptionally well organized with good direct contact with the company owner in the run-up.

- My friends and I came to Osaka for the food and the tour did NOT disappoint! Our guide knew her stuff about the city and it's local cusine (born and raised here). She was also extremely accommodating for one of my friends, who has a food allergy, and asked the chefs to make specific dishes for him as we hopped from place to place. Definitely worth it!
