1-day Tours

Great tour with Hiroshi! He brings a level of insider knowledge that you just can't get on a standard food tour. Beyond being an expert, he's genuinely a cool, easygoing guy to hang out with. He willingly answered all of our questions and shared his perspective on everything from food to local culture. He even reached out in advance to ask if there were specific styles of ramen we wanted to try, and thoughtfully adjusted the itinerary to meet closer to where we were staying. Once we met up, he handled all the ordering for us and shared tips on ramen-eating etiquette in a completely relaxed, zero-pressure way. The two local ramen shops he took us to were truly great places. The food at both was phenomenal. I would book another tour with Hiroshi without hesitation. I know he'd lead us to even more amazing local spots.

Riri was our guide and she was amazing! Super fun and knowledgeable, she taught us a lot and introduced us to many different famous dishes and drinks. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to try a wide variety of food and spend time in a cool part of Osaka with an awesome English-speaking guide!

The konbini food tour with Ryo was awesome! The food hacks Ryo shared were delicious, my wife and I found ourselves repeatedly getting the foods we tried on during the rest of our trip. Ryo was super friendly, it felt like we were seeing the city with an old friend. He also gave us great restaurant recommendations and general tips for our time in Japan. I originally found out about the tour through YouTuber Mike Chen, and the experience lived up to the hype and more. I would give this tour an 11/10, my wife and I highly recommend it and can’t say enough good things about Ryo and his hospitality! Thank you Ryo!

Hiroshi was amazing! Super friendly and informative. The places we went for ramen were so perfect. In fact we have already gone back. Totally recommend this tour.

Hiroshi knew all the chefs and ramen history. It was a great tour!

Enjoyed a fun experience with Ryo trying some food combinations from different convenience stores. Ryo provided lots of information about the different stores and how people use them. It definitely gives you the confidence to use konbinis and know where to buy different items. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for your fantastic welcome! Everyone had an amazing experience and loved the delicious ramen. Thank you again for all your help!

Have you been eating ramen all of your life and not have a clue how it’s made? If so, I highly recommend signing up and learning all about ramen. The class was both fascinating and informative. Our guide (and store manager) Mitsuyo, gave us a great behind-the-scenes presentation of how they make their Michelin awarded ramen (without giving away any trade secrets, of course). I would have never imagined how much thought and creativity went into what seems like a humble bowl of noodles. They are obsessed with making the best bowl of ramen on planet Earth.

This experience was amazing! Mitsuyo was an excellent teacher, leading us through how really great ramen is made. We sampled all the key components individually, before enjoying the final product brought to life by their chefs. Simply the best ramen I have ever tasted! If you are a foodie or you just love ramen, you will enjoy this tour!

Amazing, the best experience had in Japan. Worth the price.

We loved our Konbini hacks tour with Ryo! He was brilliant with the kids and introduced this side of Japanese food culture so well. The best tour we took all trip!

Great tour!
