Takoyaki Food Experiences

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.

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!

Our teacher and translator were fun and encouraging as they taught us how to make gluten free takoyaki and okonomiyaki. They prepped all the ingredients, which were fresh and high quality. All the kitchen equipment were very nice and the facilities were excellent. If you have the chance, do take this class. It’s fun and rewarding to learn how to make these two delicious street food with gluten free ingredients.

What a wonderful food tour! Gil, our guide had deep knowledge of all the hidden gems, stories of the locations and the food and people were great! Would highly recommend Gil and byfood for the wonderful experience!

Absolute 30 out of 10 experience!!! We had so much fun, can only recommend it to everyone.

Awesome time with our guide and various foods enjoyed. Very knowledgeable guide. Thank you !

This tour was an absolute blast! Amber was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable. We explored parts of Harajuku and Meiji Shrine that we would never have discovered on our own. Amber went above and beyond to learn about our food preferences and led us to some amazing shops along the way. Her generosity was evident when she held our drinks while we explored the shops. We sampled so many exciting foods—I highly recommend this tour!

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!

Great and fast way to experience what Shinsekai has to offer.

Did a Shibuya food tour with Mitsoku on 4/24 and have to say it was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and super friendly. Took us places that was hard to find if you never been here. We'll worth it and thank you Mitsy!

This was an exceptional whisky tasting experience delivered by my guide Dan. He's very knowleadgeable and passionate about japanese whisky and whisky in general, and the selection chosen for the tasting was very good.

Nice tour through Harajuku and the surroundings. The start at Meji Temple was incredible, and the Yakiniku afterwards made it worth it. Our luck with the weather wasn’t the best, so a bit of the charm of the area was missing. Be prepared to point out at things you want to try along the main road as there are so many, and all delicious. Chisato our guide was knowledgeable and great fun to chat to. We look forward to more tours.
