Osaka Shinsekai food tour with 13 to 15 dishes at 5 local spots, plus 2 drinks, in a 3 hour small group walk.
“Bernie was awesome. So personable and gave us great explanations about the food and all the cool spots we went to. Highly recommend!”
Osaka Shinsekai food tour with 13 dishes and 2 drinks across 5 local spots, guided by a small group, about 3 hours.
“Our guide, Kiko, was very friendly and we appreciated his efforts to make the tour a fun experience - including through fun detours to entertain the kids in between restaurant stops at local arcades in Shinsekai. Our only issue is we wish we had been informed that the cuisine is pretty much entirely fried food, and did not have variety. On other food tours we've been on, each stop had a different local specialty. If you like fried food, this will be a great tour for you. Unfortunately, we can't handle much of it!”
Hungry Osaka Street Food Tour in Shinsekai, 15+ tastings and 3 drinks in 3 hours with a local guide and historic neighborhood stops.
“This is legit the best food tour I've ever done. From the get go, Andy was engaging, funny, punctual and comfortable handling a group of strangers. He made it feel like we were all mates on a night out in Osaka. The food stops were perfectly curated and each stop prepares you for the next dish. Andy's love for Osaka comes through strongly through his masterful storytelling of Japan's feudal past and its recent post war history. He tells it like it is. He made sure we all had a good time and included stops that you would never find on your own. It was great to meet some locals…”

Cook personalized takoyaki in Osaka, then taste 10+ sakes with expert Momo, a former brewer, learning what to order with confidence.
“We were four adults age 44 to 70 and we had an amazing time with Momo. The sake class was the perfect amount of information to allow us to carefully select a tasty sake in the future. The takoyaki cooking was perfect, fun, and had us laughing at our great cooking skills. As many have said, we think it’s the best takoyaki we have ever had. Momo explained everything in detail and made the class even more enjoyable but ensuring we had snacks and water to enjoy along the way. After cooking, we began the sake tasting. Be prepared to not just try sake, but to drink sake. Each tasting…”
