Absolute Osaka food tour

Experience an unforgettable stroll through the historical food streets of Osaka and spend an evening like the locals of Japan’s 3rd largest city.

This 3-hour Osaka night food tour will take you on an eating excursion through the busy streets and the hidden, less frequented parts of Minami (South) Osaka. Starting in the bright and busy Dotonburi area you'll learn about Glico Man, a Filipino sprinter named Fortunato Catalon who inspired a nation and a company. As in Shibuya (its counterpart in Tokyo), the lights and sounds of Dotonburi often lead to overly commercial restaurants with lines of tourists outside. Visit places you would certainly miss without a local’s guidance. Shortly after the tour begins, take the secret alleys that lead to the shrine, hidden from the view of the average passerby.

Sample, Kushikatsu, (deep-fried meat and veggie skewers) a local take on Yakitori and let your guide surprise you with a Michelin-rated street food stop for Osaka’s favorite snack– Takoyaki (a kind of grilled octopus fritter). Next, travel down narrow alleys and see some of the more unconventional restaurants and pubs. Your guide will then lead you to a local dinner spot. This shop is an Izakaya or local pub with seasonal dishes that will intrigue and delight. You'll get to try regional dishes and 1 drink. This spot is very local, you won't find tourists here. Try a draft beer or Nihonshu (rice wine) with your tasty meal.
