Itinerary

  • Pulala Tenma

    We've got lots to show you in this historic neighborhood, and not just related to food either. Over the course of a 35 minute stroll, you'll learn about the history and now of this part of Osaka. We'll also visit two different restaurants here in Tenma, spending about half an hour in each. This is THE foodie city, so let's get down to the details! Food will vary by restaurant and your tastes over the course of the evening, but typical dishes include kushi katsu (various fried food on sticks), dote nikomi (slow cooked beef... parts), "tonpei yaki" (a grilled pork and egg dish), poached chicken with sesame seed dressing, slow simmered vegetables in a light soy sauce fish stock, lightly pickled mackerel, and much more! We always serve at least ten dishes on our tours. Incidentally, for those looking for something extra beefy, we offer the option of adding 100g (3.5 oz.) of well-marbled Kobe (or nearby) beef at one of our stops. Delicious, but plenty of food tonight even without the beef.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Ogimachi Park

    Though most of our time will be spent in a lively warren of smaller streets, we take a little break here to see one of Osaka's favorite green spaces. Nice views, and great cherry blossoms too during spring.

    15 minutes

  • Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street

    The longest covered shopping street in Japan, Tenjinbashisuji has a duly long name to match! We're not about shopping on this tour, but we'll walk down a short portion of the street to get a feel for the scene. Almost all the stores are local, so it's not like the homogenized shopping areas in so many other central parts of the city. Speaking of small scale, since our tours never have more than six guests, we are welcomed into restaurants as part of the family - not as a factory processed tour brigade. You can absolutely count on some fun local interaction!

    15 minutes

  • Kyobashi Station

    After we've thoroughly surveyed Tenma, we'll hop on a train (fare included) for the short ride to Kyobashi, our second neighborhood of the evening. It's here where the famous Tokaido road from Tokyo to Osaka has entered our fair city for centuries. The neighborhood's vibe is a tiny bit more salubrious, but equally fun - and filled to the brim with character.Ā In Kyobashi, we'll walk around about 10 minutes before stopping at a final "standing bar" for more food and drink (included). We love this area because people are super friendly, and the neon and architecture in general still looks just as it must have in the 1960s when Kyobashi really grew into its own during the post-war boom.

Lovely evening tasting delicious food

Published on Oct, 2024

Wonderful guide on this food tour. Great experience. Fascinating Japnese night culture. The food was delicious.

Kevin was an amazing guide

Published on Oct, 2024

We have friends in NYC who recommended this tour. Were they right!! We opted for being picked up at and delivered back to our hotel. It is great that you offer this service for an added fee. We had been in Osaka but a few hours and did not know our way around. Kevin met us and escorted us to the meet up place. Everyone was prompt. We are old enough to be the parents of the other 5 guests. They were wonderful, smart and curious. That was really fun for us and I hope it was OK for them, too. It was an international albeit English-speaking group from the US, Germany and Ireland. Kevin explained a whole lot more than food. He is so intelligent and well- informed. He is a native of Los Angeles and a multi-year resident of Osaka. We saw and learned things we never would have on our own. He is a great guide. He had a well-planned route and pivoted smoothly when one restaurant lacked space. There were three drinks per person allotted but I stuck to water. The number of plates - tapas-style - was astounding. He accommodated pescatarians and vegetarians with no trouble. He even was kind enough to include an Osaka specialty I really wanted to try because I had less than 24-hours in town: okonomiyaki. It was delicious! I wish I had known of your other tours in other Japanese cities in time to take them.

Would recommend for those looking for a fun food and cultural experience

Published on Oct, 2024

I would highly recommend this tour. It combines sightseeing, cultural facts, and great food and drinks. Bryan was an excellent tour guide. He was engaging, informative and very friendly.

Guaranteed a quality foodie experience

Published on Sep, 2024

This is a great way to guarantee a quality foodie experience in Osaka in a small group 3 or 4 quality spots with different concepts and food. Levy the guide was right on the money and knew his stuff and with a good dry sense of humor. It is hassle free and should one wish to have an extra sake or beer it is well managed..... pay the extra drink and move on to the next stop. We all had a great night !!!
