The Tour was great and Keigo (Guide) is very fun and nice to talk to. I can highly recommend! The food is very delicious!
thank you so much for this kind review, it really made my day! I had such a great time talking with you too. The conversation about Switzerland, chocolate and anime is one I won't forget! Hope to see you again in Osaka, and don't forget, next time bring some friends for that izakaya karaage tour!
A few days ago, we got to go on an awesome food tour by Keigo! Being brand new to Osaka, we wanted to book something a little more laid back than the usual tours in the centre and we absolutely loved this tour. I will try not to spoil too much of what you'll have, but I will say that we had some of the best food the week we spent in Japan there. Not only that, but all 4 locations were unique and really cool, too! I would definitely book this tour again in a heartbeat!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review — it really made my day! “Some of the best food in a week spent in Japan” — that means so much to me. Japan has incredible food everywhere, so that is a huge compliment! I’m also really glad the tour felt laid back and different from the usual tourist experience. That is exactly what I aim for. And please tell your fiancé that trying raw fish was a very brave and impressive move — I’m still proud of him! I hope to welcome you both back to Osaka someday! Keigo
My wife and I were travelling around Japan for five weeks, and thought a food tour in Osaka would be a nice way to end our trip. This was definitely the best choice we could have ever made. The food choices were delicious and very generous portions- thankfully we were hungry . We loved the food locations we visited. These are places we would have missed on our own, especially our fourth and last destination- an absolutely beautiful spot . We loved both the atmosphere and the dessert. With just t...read more
Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review — it truly made my day! Five weeks travelling around Japan is already a dream trip, and the fact that my tour could be a highlight of that journey means everything to me. I'm so glad the fourth stop left such a lasting impression — it's one of my personal favorites, and it always makes me happy when guests feel the same way! And I have to say, having just the three of us made the evening so much more enjoyable for me too. That intimate atmosphere is exactly what I aim for. I hope the cruise plans come together for next time — I'd love to welcome you and your wife back to Osaka! With gratitude, Keigo
We had a wonderful experience with Keigo! Definitely recommend it. We love to go on food tours to discover new dishes to try and get to know the culture a bit more. Keigo delivered on everything. We went to some great places and tried some new foods prepared properly, not tourist traps. We would have never entered such restaurants. Were ALL dishes on our liking, of course not. We are picky europeans :), BUT we did try them and some were winners. Here are 3 highlights, i'll leave the res...read more
Thank you so much for this wonderful review — and for taking the time to write it so thoughtfully! I love that you came in as "picky Europeans" and still found some real winners. That honestly makes me happier than if you had loved everything — it means the ones that worked really worked! The tuna head, the tempura with that tartar sauce, the wagyu after Kobe beef... and yes, that 100-year-old building for dessert. You captured it all perfectly. For the dishes that weren't quite your style — that's exactly how it should be. Honest reactions are what make a tour real, not just a performance. Thank you for recommending my tour so generously. For a small independent guide, this kind of review means everything. Hope to welcome you back to Osaka someday!
Keigo was an excellent guide who impressed us with his extensive knowledge, sense of humor, and warm, friendly demeanor. He showed us his hidden gems in the city—authentic izakayas with delicious food that we never would have found on our own. Keigo did an excellent job selecting the dishes at the izakayas. There were many things we hadn’t tried before, even though we’d been traveling in Japan for quite some time. The tour was a fantastic experience all around, and we highly recommend it. We wou...read more
Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review! It really made my day to read. I'm so glad the hidden izakayas felt like genuine discoveries — that's exactly what I aim for. And knowing that even seasoned Japan travelers found new flavors to enjoy means a lot to me as a former chef. It would be an absolute pleasure to have you back on your next visit to Osaka. Until then, safe travels and happy eating! Warm regards, Keigo
