"Pere (or Peri) is your guide if you are looking to do a food tour in Kobe. We ate so much food. So much good food that you will walk away from the tour wondering how you ate it all and how you are going to work it all off. Kevin and I are still talking about the pork dumplings from Chinatown that you have to wait about 15 minutes in line for to order. (IT WAS WORTH IT!!!!!) As you are walking to the locations, Peri does a great job talking about eh city, the food and culture so that it all ties together. He knows the holes small places to go so that you get an authentic experience and not just what is featured on Instagram or TikToK. He did an awesome job and we were lucky to book him!"

Greay food experience in Osaka
"My boyfriend and I wanted to have a unique food tour in Osaka! Our guide Hiromi took us to a variety of spots we would have not found by ourselves. She also provided insight into the local history and culture that was very interesting! She also gave us many recommendations of other restaurants and coffee shops to try that were delicious. I would highly recommend this tour and to do it with Hiromi!"
"It was our first time in Japan, and we decided to do a day trip to Kobe from Osaka. Simone was such a great host! He was so warm, friendly, generous, and genuine. We loved chatting with him about his experience living in Japan, and appreciate the way he structured our food tour - he took us to some great local spots. We highly recommend booking with him."

Hiromi is awesome!
"If I could add more stars I would. We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour with Hiromi. She listened to what we requested, gave us ideas about what to do in Osaka and helped us look for certain things to bring home. I highly recommend a tour with Hiromi for your Osaka visit."
"Our group of 4 highly recommend Maria! Our crew had a variety of interests and diets and she was able to customize the food tastings and stops accordingly. We had a wide variety of offerings, were able to better understand the history of Osaka, the evolution of the culinary scene, and prepared us for ordering meals. Dumplings, sushi, saki, wagyu, matcha ice cream, hidden temple, ramen, Cinderella croissants (these croissants were the absolute best!!! We went back the next day before we had to catch the train). Maria explained the different murals and signs and answered a bunch of our questions. We are VERY glad we connected with Maria! Arigato!"
"We couldn’t have asked for a better food tour experience with Hiroki in Osaka. He picked the perfect combination of places to enjoy a complementary variety of local specialties. Hiroki was fun and easy to spend time with, and his insights about what we ate and where we went added real depth to the tour. Communication and tour pacing were great as well. Highly recommended!"
"Allysa created the perfect food experience for us including some restrictions we had and we all could enjoy the amazing, local food experience.
She’s also very informative and helpful.
We had a great time! "
"We were a group of four and enjoyed a food tour with Hiroki in Osaka. I loved that he took us to 3 different spots/restaurants that we probably would not have discovered on our own. I would highly suggest him! Thanks Hiroki for making our food tour so enjoyable. "
"Experienced many interesting local food experiences with Hiromi. Sampled all the local Osaka food specialties. We were stuffed by the end of the evening. Very vibrant areas that we walked through as well as smaller intimate dining experiences. You definitely won’t leave hungry or not having tried all that Osaka had to offer in terms of food. "
"As four friends we have been travelling around Japan for over 3 weeks and have had a great time. We booked a foodie tour in Osaka as we were only there for one day and night and wanted to fit in as much as we could. Hiroki met us at our hotel and we caught the metro to the Shinsekie area where on the way he showed us highlights of the Dotonburi area. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone else but what I can say is that the food and experience was the highlight of our holiday. You will not be disappointed if you book it. Thank you Hiroki!"
