Fun food tour with Ken. He had us try foods that we wouldn’t have tried. Also, took us to a few non food places. My boys especially loved the shooting arcade he took us too. The knives store/demonstration was nice too.
We had a wonderful tour with Lee as our guide. He took us to some of his favorite out of the way places, where we tasted several unique, yet delicious Japanese foods.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad Lee helped you discover some unique hidden gems and delicious local foods available in Osaka. It’s wonderful to hear you had such an enjoyable experience, and it means a lot to us!
Our guide Miyuki (Miki) met us promptly at the agreed location and time. Miki was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and proud to be showing us part of her local experience. The food tour was great as well as Miki's enthusiasm in showing us Osaka's wealth of delights. She was open to many questions and we loved her natural flair to connect with people.

We had Melissa as our guide and she is fabulous. We have a 12 year old is a very picky eater and somewhat shy. Melissa was able to sweet talk her into giving everything a try and managed to pull her out of her shell. Melissa also had great information and funny anecdotes about the area. One of the highlights of our trip!

This tour gave an excellent exposure to the street food in Osaka. We sampled a range of dishes and Japanese sweets on the tour. Our guide Keataro was brilliant, and shared many anecdotes and little known facts about Osaka with us. He was particularly helpful in choosing the dishes for my wife who is a vegetarian.
