Great time had at Osaka food tour. Decent, local food stops navigated by a knowledgeable guide who was equally engaging with the two kids, their mum and dad and us two random Scots who made up our group.
Everyone enjoyed, and i’d recommend for sure.

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!

This was a really great experience. Backstreets for sure, and in places, tough and seedy ones where I never would have ventured as a solo woman traveler. Knox really knew his stuff about the neighborhoods, and how organized crime works, and we even walked through a red light district that was nothing I'd ever seen before, anywhere. I definitely have an expanded sense of Osaka and Japan now. Castles and shrines are wonderful, but this was much better, and I'm glad its in my mix of complicated Japan, because its under the surface. Way under!

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 three people on this tour, we were able to experience a very enjoyable and intimate event. Our guide, Keigo was excellent!! He chose the food, the locations, and even made the best suggestions on which drinks to try. He was the perfect host who made this awesome food tour a highlight of our vacation!!

We did a food tour in Osaka and it was a such a great and fun experience. Doing Japan for the first time I would highly recommend to do your food tour here in Osaka, the food capitol and you get the opportunity to experience it with Knox ( shout to our heavy metal, head banger) tour guide. Not only he was fun and knowledgeable he made our experience much fun! Thank you

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 rest as a surprise to not spoil everything.
1. I bet you never ever eaten meat from the tuna's head, right? Keigo told us that it used to be the fisherman's take (similar with the chef's cut). It's more fatty, similar with fatty tuna (otoro). And it's a rare dish as less than 1% of the restaurants get access to this kind of meat. And it was delicious if you're into these kind of meats.
2. An amazing tartar sauce served with an equally great tempura tuna. While I believe tuna should be eaten raw to not lose its flavor (and it's blasphemy to do it otherwise :)), this dish delivered next level.
3. Tepaniaki style wagyu beef, prepared in front of us. A really awesome piece of meat. And this comes a day after we went to a high end kobe beef experience... in Kobe. The wagyu served here was AMAZING.
Also, did I mention that we went to a 100+ year old building, very retro style for dessert?
I already shared more than I should have. I'll leave you to discover the rest.

I’ve been to Osaka a few times already and tried to explore the food scene on my own, but this experience definitely highlighted more local spots that I’ve passed without even realizing they were there. Bernie was a great guide and a gracious host. He provided a mix of local history and food history as we roamed Shinsekai. There was a good variety of food and drink. Every dish brought a unique flavor to the experience. Overall great time, highly recommend it for anyone that has a few hours to go on some Osaka food exploration.

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 would definitely take another tour with Keigo on our next visit to Osaka.
