Osaka 日本清酒 美食体验

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!

What a wonderful way to explore a city! Trey took us down some dark alleys and I loved it! It was exactly what I was looking for. Very small and intimate venues I never would have found or ventured into on my own. A true Osaka experience! 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!

Another great experience with this team. Experiencing these tucked away izakayas and tiny bars with a knowledgeable guide is priceless. Gave us the courage to explore on our own the following night. Not to be missed tour!

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!!

Dannik was an exceptional host full of humour, a great storyteller and local Osaka knowledge. From the moment we arrived we felt welcome with our fellow travellers and the owners of each establishment. Walking the laneways and stopping by for a drink in tiny bar Stand38 was a fun and unforgettable experience, as we met and drank with the locals.

The sake tasting and workshop took us on a really fun and eye-opening 2-hour journey. Our instructor, Yuki, was calm, super knowledgeable, and spoke great English. We asked a ton of questions, tasted a lot, had fun, got surprised, and probably challenged Yuki quite a bit—but he handled everything like a pro every time :) It was a really unique experience for Osaka and showed us just how big and fascinating the world of sake actually is—way beyond what we knew before.

While enjoying something as pleasant as sake, this experience also dives deep into its history and production with insights, local stories, and details you really wouldn’t find online. I think it should definitely be part of everyone’s trip. The setting may look simple at first, but it’s actually full of thoughtful details and beautiful objects. Combined with Yuki’s warm and attentive hosting, it creates an amazing atmosphere. We had a great time as a pair, but I can easily imagine that going as a group would turn it into one of the most memorable highlights of a trip.

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.

Awesome food and learned a ton about sake!

On the surface, this is an izakaya tour. In reality, it’s an Osaka history lesson, a culinary revelation and a bucketload of fun. Kevin’s level of knowledge and ability to get you into places that you’d have no hope of finding on your own guarantee Osaka will be the highlight of your Japan experience.

Had a great time with Shehab, showing me the real Osaka experience. He's so kind helping me beyond the call of duty with getting trains, etc. Highly recommended!
