Food Tours

We were thrilled with this tour by Hiro. Our expectation for the night was trying some new food and drinks, and of course we did that, but we also wandered the quiet streets of Gion, which was such a nice way to see the famous area without the daytime crowds. Hiro is an enthusiastic photographer and he sent us so many wonderful photos from the tour afterwards. The food, drinks, walking, and company was fantastic. I absolutely recommend this tour.

Great tour with Hiroshi! He brings a level of insider knowledge that you just can't get on a standard food tour. Beyond being an expert, he's genuinely a cool, easygoing guy to hang out with. He willingly answered all of our questions and shared his perspective on everything from food to local culture. He even reached out in advance to ask if there were specific styles of ramen we wanted to try, and thoughtfully adjusted the itinerary to meet closer to where we were staying. Once we met up, he handled all the ordering for us and shared tips on ramen-eating etiquette in a completely relaxed, zero-pressure way. The two local ramen shops he took us to were truly great places. The food at both was phenomenal. I would book another tour with Hiroshi without hesitation. I know he'd lead us to even more amazing local spots.

Riri was our guide and she was amazing! Super fun and knowledgeable, she taught us a lot and introduced us to many different famous dishes and drinks. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to try a wide variety of food and spend time in a cool part of Osaka with an awesome English-speaking guide!

The konbini food tour with Ryo was awesome! The food hacks Ryo shared were delicious, my wife and I found ourselves repeatedly getting the foods we tried on during the rest of our trip. Ryo was super friendly, it felt like we were seeing the city with an old friend. He also gave us great restaurant recommendations and general tips for our time in Japan. I originally found out about the tour through YouTuber Mike Chen, and the experience lived up to the hype and more. I would give this tour an 11/10, my wife and I highly recommend it and can’t say enough good things about Ryo and his hospitality! Thank you Ryo!

We had a fantastic experience at the yatai stalls with Bruce! He was incredibly welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole experience really enjoyable. The food was delicious, and it was a brilliant opportunity to try some authentic local dishes while learning more about Japanese food and culture. Bruce made us feel at ease from the start and went above and beyond to make the evening special. A real highlight of our time in Japan and something we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Fukuoka. Thank you, Bruce, for such a memorable evening!

The tour with Keigoh was fantastic! My wife and I had a great time with the pace. Each stop was very unique and intentional and all of Keigoh's recommendations were excellent. We highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring the many sides of food in Osaka.

One of the most incredible experience I've had in a long time. Couldn't recommend it more. The people were incredible and the food was even more delicious.

Great experience with David. This really is a personal experience and very interesting!

Fantastic experience and great guide!

An amazing and immersive experience! The 5th-generation owner took us through the historic factory to show us the traditional, time-honored methods of making katsuobushi and shio katsuo. As we did not speak Japanese, we communicated this ahead of time and he kindly arranged an English translator so we didn't miss any of the fascinating details. The bonito flakes tasting over rice was a delicious highlight, and getting a souvenir to take home was a lovely touch. It’s incredible to see a historic craft kept alive here.

It was such a wonderful evening! Really, really recommend doing a tour with Hiroshi. He is so welcoming and knowledgeable. The walk around Gion was so interesting! He opened my eyes to so many details. The food was lovely and he kept it gluten free on request, which I appreciate so much! I would not have known what to order without his help. Thank you Hiroshi, I hope to be able to join another of your tours in the future.

AMAZING experience! Highly recommend to anyone interested in wasabi (or a fun getaway from Tokyo). David is knowledgeable about a multitude of topics and his generosity was greatly appreciated. Both varieties of wasabi are insanely delicious (and he let us eat a lot of it!).
