Along the way, sample Japanese sake, taste traditional street foods such as Kushikatsu (deep-fried skewered meat), and learn why Osaka is known as Japan’s ‘party city’.

I think food tours are one of the best ways to get a local perspective on thr city and culture and this tour was no exception. We visited three separate establishments which were two izakaya style bars and a third more upscale whiskey bar. Our guide Meg was great in explaining the food and culture to us. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to Osaka or indeed Japan

Meg was amazing, showed us a good time! Would recommend to do this tour with other people or even solo. Great way to make friends and Meg was a friendly individual as well who made sure the people who were taking the tour were having a good time and enjoyed the drinks and food. Also showed us a few japanese words and phrases along with japanese drinking culture actions.

Hi i’m thinking of booking this for february 2021, i was just wondering whether i can pick the tour guide i want or if it just just random, thanks :)
How early can I book for this? I am planning on being Osaka for only 2 nights at the beginning of April (2021) so I want to make sure I get the night I want. :) Thanks in advance!!!
