Ohhhh Tokyo, with your big corporate headquarters and massive mobs of people doing very important things. And then Kyoto, with your high culture, fancy temples, gardens, and refinement. Yay. But this is OSAKA, and -- how to put it nicely? -- we don't care about your charmed lives. We care about eating.
Come see (1) an upscale department store marketplace, (2) the famous Kuromon Ichiba, where delicacies raw and cooked clamor for your tongue, (3) a Japanese infused Korea Town where few tourists venture to tread, and (4) a historic neighborhood resplendent with meats, fish, vegetables, plus other staples and stupefieables catering to locals. At your side will be a native English speaking, friendly, Osaka-infused soul, eager to explain every little aspect of this big world of food. Get ready to dig in on this adventure of sights, smells, and flavors!

This was an excellent tour. My partner and I learned so much about food culture and history in Osaka. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable. He was able to expertly answer the many questions we asked him. I don't understand some of the more negative reviews of this not being a food tour: it is what you make of it. At any point you can stop and purchase food at any of the markets you're in. I certainly did.

Guide Lito was terrific and happy to cater tour to our needs and timetable. Very knowledgable and seemed to enjoy himself as much as we did! Saw a range of food markets in Osaka and were able to buy and sample amazing foods and also other food related products.

Off the beaten track view of food shopping in Osaka. From the discount to the ridiculously extravagent. Neighborhoods (like koreatown) you'd never see on your own. Food shopping off the tourist track.

This tour was tough to rate because we were shown a lot of very cool places. Tour guide was cool. He showed us a lot.....BUT with no map or markers or names of the places.....we have no idea where we went. The tour doesn't show us either. The ending was disappointing. It was like ok it's over bye. I think maybe a ending with a beer somewhere or a restaurant would been nice. Or at least a map or recommendations for places to eat. Anyway we figured out on our own after. I would recommend, but don't expect any food at the end.

Kevin was a fantastic guide, taking us to places we would never have found ourselves. All based around food - markets, street food, supermarkets - with plenty of history and local knowledge too. Thanks!

Ferdinand was an exceptional guide. He showed us to so many areas, provided education about each, and was very engaging/funny. He took into account our individual interests and helped translate when we wanted to try certain foods.

Alejandro was an amazing guide. His English is perfect. What we really appreciated was his willingness to customize the experience for us. His insights of the Japanese culture and customs are so helpful to better understand this amazing country. Thank you.
