I've been doing a tour for about 10 years. I know lots of good food that lots of tourists miss. Enjoy at least 12 bites and two drinks as your guide leads you through local restaurants, hidden stalls, and small shops that many travelers miss. Along the way, you will learn what to eat in Osaka, why certain dishes became famous, and how locals enjoy their everyday comfort foods. The tour also explores the lively streets of Dotonbori, one of the most famous food districts in Japan. Bright signs, sizzling grills, and the smell of street food create a lively atmosphere that shows why Osaka is known as “Japan’s kitchen.” ※Please note: if the tour starts after 16;30, we don't go to the market or Douguya suji street, since they are closed around 17:00. We hop on 4places in Namba in that case ※You can also reach me through Best Adventure Kansai
