We had a great time exploring the market with Hiro! It was interesting to learn about his "day job" and he took us to several great spots, including the basement of the department store where locals buy their lunches.
Only noting that we stopped at one store and were told everything should be fine for our dietary restrictions, but I checked ingredients when I got home and one sauce had beef & pork in it. We should definitely have checked and do not expect Hiro to know every ingredient in all the packaged goods in the market! Just advice to future travelers to translate everything!

Super Great time with Bruce, he ensured the evening stayed joyful, fun and engaging! It was not awkward and he was insightful, friendly and made us feel so welcomed!
His warm and knowledgable approach made the food tour amazing for my family and I.
Take note, I had 3 elderly and 5 adults! He managed it all with grace and poise and I thank you again for an evening to remember, SEE YOU AGAIN BRUCE! thank you

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!

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!!

Aki knows Ueno, and it shows. It was a mix of new food experiences and great cultural learning. I recommend this tour to anyone wanting to eat like a local and learn more about japan in general.

Great informative tour. Guide was very helpful and responsive with my pre tour questions. Also enjoyed the opportunity to “taste test” the different kinds of tuna sashimi.

Myself, my husband, and my teenage son enjoyed this tour thoroughly. Masa-san along with two other guides were so warm and knowledgeable. It was no doubt one of our top highlights of our Japan trip. We laughed so much because everybody were so happy and had such a great sense of humor. We laughed through matcha and miso and lunch and castle and history. We learned so much and had so much fun doing it. Such a wonderful place with such kind people. I hope to come back with my daughter soon! Thank you so much Masa-san and your colleagues!!! 🙏

Hiro was a great guide for Nishiki market and the surrounding areas. He was able to navigate our special diets and we tried lots of things. He’s a marine biologist so can tell you a lot about seafood as well as Kyoto culture and traditions

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.

In Japan, sashimi is more than just a dish—it's a painstaking work of art that captures the essence of the ocean and the artisan's skillful touch. Sashimi, often simply presented raw fish, is meticulously sliced to highlight its texture, flavor, and freshness, making it a must-try experience for anyone visiting Japan.

You’ll have the opportunity to try a wide variety of sashimi, from the ever-popular tuna and salmon to exotic offerings like uni (sea urchin) and fugu (pufferfish). Each slice tells a story of the region it comes from, the waters it was caught in, and the hands that prepared it.
Enhance Your Experience with Local Insights
Beyond just tasting exquisite sashimi, our tours offer deeper insights into the cultural significance and traditional techniques involved in sashimi preparation. Learn directly from sushi masters and local chefs who have honed their craft over decades.
