Aki took us to a part of Tokyo I would not have seen otherwise, down narrow streets packed with restaurants and bars, some of them under the train tracks. Delicious sake, sashimi, grilled meat, ramen and a friendly and personable host. Seeing a tiny bar with friendly customers was a highlight. Come very hungry!

Great food offerings- tasty, unique, and truly felt like we were joining in the full culture of Osaka! Josh was personable, knowledgeable, funny, and engaging! We could not have asked for a better person to guide us on our food tour experience. If you're making an Osaka stop, would definitely put this on the top of your list for food experiences!

We had a great time on the tour. Asami very knowledgeable and generous in sharing information. It definitely felt like we were having an authentic experience, which was a welcome break after the craziness of the big cities. I’d highly recommend taking the tour, tasting the delicious locally brewed soy sauce and sake, and enjoying learning about the history of the town.
