Tetsu is a great guide!...

Published on May, 2025

Tetsu is a great guide! Happen to be me just on that day and he personalized the tour for me. Showed me the way the locals start their night drinking session and bought me to a Sakaya store where we can start our drink in store! Followed by 3 izakaya where as a tourist will definitely unable to find! Chat a lot and despite tetsu San English he is able to use translator tool to communicate very well. He has a set of izakaya jargon that I’ve learnt. Very useful for izakaya visit in future!

Great having a local!

Published on May, 2025

We went to local bars that you would never find on your own. Small bars that had small dishes of food to offer. The bars were really neat, I wasn't as big of a fan of the food as I was the conversation and drinks!

Rare gem of a tour

Published on May, 2025

This is the best tour ever. Not a single other English speaking patron to be seen. The food was delicious, drinks were top notch, & the price was just as excellent! We got to have a perfectly curated local experience that really made our trip special. Highly recommend!

Hidden places in Osaka

Published on May, 2025

Great tour. You will find completely hidden places serving only 7 people. You won’t ever be able to find these places by yourself. Some are even having no sign out of the door. Guide is very knowledgeable and friendly, open for individual wishes. Highly recommended if you want to learn more about Osakan people!!!

Cannot miss!

Published on May, 2025
