Absolute Osaka Food Tour – A Must-Do Experience! Fun for all ! - If you’re visiting Osaka and love food, the Absolute Osaka Food Tour is an absolute must! Our guide, Kevin, made this experience unforgettable. We visited three incredible food spots, each offering dishes that were 10/10—from mouthwatering street food to perfectly prepared local specialties. To top it all off, we ended with a delicious dessert! Kevin was not only knowledgeable about the food but also about Osaka’s history and culture. He shared fascinating stories along the way, making the tour both educational and entertaining. His passion for the city and its cuisine was evident, and he made sure everyone had a fantastic time. If you’re looking for a fun, delicious, and immersive food tour, this is it! Highly recommend!

Great insight into Osaka food culture - The food tour of Osaka was an absolute delight. Our Guide Kentaro was very knowledgeable, explaining the cooking styles of each of the eateries that we visited, and also gave us a great insight into Japanese culture and how food was an integral part of it. Every dish he selected for us to eat over the course of the tour was delicious. He also explained much of the culture that drives Osaka itself, and took photos of us at many iconic places throughout the Dotonbori area. He was also great fun to be with. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to appreciate the real Osaka food culture.

Tons of fun in Osaka - We had such a great culinary adventure with Sebastian in Osaka, took us to places we never would have found on our own. We highly recommend using Arigato when traveling in Japan.

Banging food! - All the food was absolutely amazing and Nanako was knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. Managed to snag some nice spots in Dotonbori that weren't even that busy (despite the streets being crowded!). I'm a man who likes my food and I was impressed at the 4 places we went to and that's an impressive feat! If you're new to Japanese food or a seasoned foodie it'll appeal to you.

A great time for first timers. - Our tour was great. Sebastian was engaging and informative. We went around to enough places to get a nice sampling of the area and the local food, but not so many that we were exhausted. The food choices were wonderful. We'd definitely do another tour in the future.

Tasting interesting and off the beaten track - Absolutely fantastic food tour with Kevin. He managed to exceed our expectations which were already quite high after 7 weeks touring. The food was delicious and his knowledge of the area amazing. Kevin led us down alley ways which were well off the tourist trail. Making us feel like guests not simply customers it was a great evening. Strongly recommend both Kevin and Arigato tours.

Nice end to our holiday - After 6 weeks of Japan Melissa still managed to surprise us. Been nice places, delicious food and can exchange ideas extensively. Finally I got a great tip to take home something permanent: a Japanese knife (bought at Tower Knives).

Street food tour of Osaka with Sebastian - A memorable experience with Sebastian helping us navigate the best of Osaka's street food, including great veggie options for me, which can be a challenge! He was very friendly and informative, we really enjoyed our evening.

Great tour, well spoken guide, very knowledgeable of the food and area - Noriyuki was so knowledgeable about the food. I would never have found the restaurants or ate the food offered if I hadn't gone on this tour. A great chance to ask about the dishes, with a guide that spoke excellent English
