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!”

“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…”
