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

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.
