Experience Food Tours in Osaka with Withlocals

"Hiroki was a great guide. He showed is around a vibrant area of Osaka. The food options were excellent and unique. Between restaurants we had some fun in an arcade and at a cork shooting range. It was a very. I’ve evening, I’d highly recommend booking with Hiroki!"

"Maria did a great job of deciding where we would do this tour - having already had 2 days in Osaka. She picked the Billiken area and it was perfect. We love finding truly local, out of the way places to try the local fare. She nailed it - we had a perfect evening in Osaka!"

"I did the tastings and drinks tour. It was exactly what I needed. Casual, fun, informative and meeting people in cozy areas where each of the foods were delicious and the drinks enjoyable. Maria was able to quickly understand my needs and personality and if we went to fabulous fun spots. We had Kushi katsu, Takoyaki and Oden at Shin Sekai. We stopped for some rattlesnake and herb drink. Yes, there was a rattlesnake in the jar of alcohol and herbs. Each stop was fun with the people. If you are looking for adventure, tasty food, challenging drinks and casual fun. Maria is the one. I highly recommend her. By the way the octopus balls (takiyaki) were delicious. "

"Our food tour with Maria was amazing. She knew all of the best places to get some truly unique bites, and had lots of interesting history to share with it. I love that she took our experiences and preferences into account. When she heard we had already tried a particular dish, she was quick to pivot to something new. We had a blast trying a hole-in-the-wall bar, different street foods, all while walking with someone who intimately knew the area. I would definitely take a tour with Maria again!"

"We had a fantastic time with Hiromi, she was very knowledgeable and kind. We especially appreciated that we did not feel rushed one destination to the next. It was also great to get a taste of where the locals go. Thank you Hiromi! We would highly recommend the tour for anyone visiting Osaka. "

"My guide Fay, was a super star guide! She took me on a food trip with local eateries and it was lots of fun!!I want to come back to Japan soo bad! It was too short of a stop in Osaka and I would definitely recommend Fay and her expertise and want myself to come back for more :)"

"Hiromi was very nice, friendly and knowledgeable. She took us to several small, local gems where we were served delicious dishes. She taught us not only about the food we got, but also some language, history and culture. At the end we were stuffed, so it's a good idea to show up to this trip hungry. I would highly recommend this food tour if you are visiting Osaka!"

"We had an awesome night out with Hiromi, visiting a number of small local restaurants we otherwise would never have considered visiting. Highlights for us included the street takoyaki, lemon udon, and sushi!"

"Hiroki was able to pivot when we told him we had had a similar meal the night before. He took us to a takoyaki place that was busy and got us right in. Then we went to a Yakitori restaurant that was really crowded and again we were seated right away. We ended the night with matcha ice cream. Delicious!"

"If you want the most laid back, authentic food tour then go no further. Sho’s tour was hands down the best food tour we have taken. From delicious street food to the freshest sashimi we have ever had, we got the full Osaka experience. 10/10 would recommend this tour to anyone!"
