Joshua is an amazing guide! We were able to experience eating in various izukayas and tasting several dishes. None of us left hungry! It was great to be able to experience more of a local scene and it truly was like a friend ordering you some great food at a bar.

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!

A unique and original tasty experience in less touristic neighbourhoods of Osaka. Ferdinand was an amazing guide who not only two cast on culinary experience through the taste of Osaka, but also explain us about history and culture of Japan, especially from a European point of view.

Fantastic experience! Our guide Brian was excellent—he's lived in Japan for years and shared so much insider perspective that really enriched the tour. It was refreshing to also explore a less polished side of Japanese society. The food was delicious - both the snacks and the dinner.
