Oden Food Tours

With Andy, your Japanese-Australian cultural guide and interpreter, you’ll experience Osaka like a local. Hop between food stalls and eateries, drinking and eating your way through the city’s best hidden gems.

During this unfiltered tour of Osaka, get to know the cuisine of “Japan’s Kitchen,” trying 8 local dishes at authentic eateries with a Japanese-Australian guide. Between food stops, hear stories about Osaka’s retro area, yakuza presence, and more!

No Tokyo tourist traps here! This tour covers the entertainment hotspot of Ikebukuro, the retro izakaya hub of Akabane, and the working-class Jujo district with a charming local shopping street. Come ready to fill up on pub foods and sake!

“Work hard, play hard” embodies the mentality of many Japanese workers. This mentality is epitomized in the food scene of Shinbashi, the raucous “salaryman” district of Tokyo where business meets pleasure. Explore the area’s gastropubs on this tour!

The charming Sunamachi Ginza shopping street awaits with succulent skewers, traditional sweets and delicious Japanese sake! Support local, family-run businesses in this residential area—a hidden gem that’s relatively unknown by most foreign tourists.

Watch the backstreets of Dotonbori come alive at night. You’ll sample several sakes at a local bar, visit a local temple, and stroll along the glimmering riverside. After picking up food and drinks, the party will kick off at a hotel lounge.
