We thoroughly enjoyed the food tour we did with our guide, Nick. We loved the authentic assortment of different Osakan foods and drinks that we tried on the tour. It was a great way to try all the things. Nick was so much fun and full of enthusiasm for his city and all it has to offer.
The Osaka food tour was a great experience and cool way to see Shinsekai. The tour featured many great classic local dishes as well as some different ones from izakayas. Our tour guide, Kai, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave great background on the dishes we ate as well as the history of the area. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to get a more in depth look into Osaka and the amazing food it has to offer!

We had a great experience with Suga. He was very knowledgable, engaging and an overall great guide. He had a lot of information about the city and the food and brought on a great mood. I feel like I know Osaka much better now!

Great food tour with a hilarious guide! Dominic kept us laughing the entire time while providing us with some in-depth history of the neighborhood we were touring. Be sure to be hungry before you go!
Fun tour of Osakan street food. Highlights included udon noodles in broth, ginger pork, and the nighttime food distribt.
If you want a great introduction to the food and culture of Osaka look no further than Osaka Food Tours. Our guide Taka was personable and knowledgeable, and made the whole group feel welcome. The range of food was great, and has informed the rest of our Japan trip - thanks again!
Sam was an awesome tour guide! Very fun and enjoyable. Loved all of the spots that he took us to during our tour. We visited 5 restaurants and had 3 drinks on the tour. Shared lots of interesting knowledge about the food, restaurants, and history. Would definitely book again!

Interesting girl/facts/food.
Marie was amazing! We had a lovely time experiencing the Japanese traditional delights.
Eri was a really good guide to our tour, we tryed really delicious food from multiple places and variety was pretty good.
We only had just over 24 hours in Osaka and Mari’s food tour gave us an amazing introduction to the city’s cuisine, personality, and people. We loved every bite and Mari’s company and stories as well as the atmosphere she created amongst all guests. Will hopefully be back for another tour in the future!
What an absolutely fantastic experience! Mike made our Osaka street food tour so much more than just an opportunity to sample delicious food. He brought the city to life with fascinating tidbits, fun trivia, and stories about the neighborhoods, their history, the restaurants, and the origins of the foods we enjoyed. Every stop had a story, and Mike made it all interesting, entertaining, and memorable. But what truly set Mike apart was his ability to bring people together. He shared bits of his own life and experiences, encouraged everyone to share theirs, and before we knew it, a group of complete strangers from different corners of the world felt like old friends. There was laughter, great conversation, incredible food, and such a fun, easygoing atmosphere. It felt less like an organized tour and more like spending a fabulous evening exploring Osaka with a knowledgeable, fun-loving friend. Those few hours flew by! That’s a testament to Mike’s warmth, personality, and natural gift for connecting with people. Mike, you were absolutely brilliant! Thank you for giving us not just a wonderful taste of Osaka, but one of those travel experiences we’ll remember long after the trip is over. If you’re visiting Osaka, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Mike. You’ll come for the food, but you’ll leave with so much more! Lili & Sepi
Great time, Sam was a lot of fun and took us to all the great spots. So tasty but super full by the end!
