Osaka Food Tour : Anpassa din smak som en Osakan i Namba

We did a 2-hour foodie tour with Haru and she was fabulous. She speaks good English and we explained to her that what we were interested in was learning about Japanese charcoal cooking and we wanted to buy some charcoal to take home. She took us to a place to enjoy a quick taste of Kobe beef cooked over charcoal and then she managed to find us a specialty shop that sold all the special grades of charcoal. It is not legal to export the best stuff in luggage but we were allowed to buy a bag of a specific charcoal that we look home to Portugal with us. Thank you Horu for being so patient with us!

We enjoyed our tour with Gil and Kei! The walking tour was highly customizable and we were able to walk through the areas of Namba Sennichimae, Namba Nankai-dori and Ebisubashi-suji. We were able to make stops at a couple dine-in restaurants and also several street food vendors, and also made quick stops in many different shopping stalls. Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended

Had such a fun time on this Osaka food tour! We hit 4 different spots and every single one was good. Our guides Haru and Satoru were awesome —knowledgeable about the food and the history behind it, and just genuinely friendly and easy to hang out with the whole time. They made us feel like locals. Highly recommend, and if you can request Haru and Satoru, do it!

I took this solo trip and was brought by my guide Rico-chan to 3 restaurants and 1 dessert place. Food tasted good and was a glimpse of the places that were not full of tourists. Would recommend this trip for small groups, whether or not this is the first trip to Osaka.

Wonderful experience & not just the food! Sbu has been a fabulous guide, lots of knowledge and flexible to tailor the tour to my likings!

Tyler was informative about history, and humor so seamlessly.

Had a fantastic evening eating our way through Namba, a great diversity for our four dinning stops. Our guide Ibuki was amazing and spoke impeccable English and was able to answer every question I fired. Wonderful opportunity to meet people from all over the world and share this unique experience.

We did a private food tour with Osaka JOINER and our guide Tyler. It was just my husband and me, and before we started he asked about our food preferences and dislikes, then built the whole route around us. Every stop was a genuinely local spot and Tyler was clearly on good terms with the staff everywhere we went. It was a busy night and a couple of places were packed, but he pivoted smoothly without missing a beat. Beyond helping us order, he gave us the history behind each dish and the neighborhood, and even threw in a few local ghost stories, which we really enjoyed! Highly recommend for anyone wanting an authentic, personalized taste of Osaka. One thing I would also love to see is an Osaka beauty-themed tour added to the lineup!

Sbu was a great guide and did a great job bringing us to different areas in Osaka based on what we wanted to eat. Would recommend to anyone who wants a guide through the different foods of Osaka and a person you can enjoy talking to.

Shehab was AMAZING!!! We loved the experience so much, he took us to the best places and catered the entire experience to our likes and wants. He also told us the history of Osaka and Dotonbori—exactly what we’d hoped for 💖 thank you Sbu!
