Off The Beaten Path Osaka Local Bar Crawl/ 22 Tapas 7 Drinks

Our guide Taka was an exceptional host who went above and beyond to make the experience truly special. He made a genuine effort to share his story and get to know everyone in the group, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere where everyone felt included and comfortable. Taka also took the time to offer thoughtful local recommendations tailored to our trip. The tapas bars we visited were excellent, serving delicious food and drinks while giving us an authentic taste of the local atmosphere. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Outstanding and lovely tour from Takayuki-san and Nao-san. We hit three different bars/restaurants, and we got to eat many local dishes (especially unique ones I have never tried before) and try many drinks. Great time hanging with the tour guides and a bunch of travelers on the same tour. We were all strangers but it felt like we were out on a familiar night of bar hopping. Would definitely recommend and I might have to do it again next time I'm here. Ookini

Our night out with Taka was an amazing experience, if you want to see what the locals are doing and how they like to party i would highly recommend signing up for this experience. Taka was a great guide and everyone was super friendly with us all night. I’ll definitely be joining him again next time i visit

Don’t think twice, book it! This is the BEST tour we’ve ever gone on. Taka is so incredibly knowledgeable and funny. Taka’s co host was also so nice and helpful! He takes the group to locals only places and even tailored the food ordering to work with a variety of diets (pescatarians and vegetarians welcome!). We got to eat so much delicious food and learned a lot about the different kinds of sake. Taka offered lots of choices for drinks so if you prefer beer, cocktail, or a non-alcoholic drink he was able to accommodate. At the end of the night he dropped us off at a karaoke bar where we had the best time! Choose this tour if you want to meet cool people, eat really good food, and share drinks in local spots.

The beauty of this tour is a guide who makes it a priority to connect the people on the tour first, then brings everyone on a curated schedule of unique dishes and sake with the history and context to help you appreciate it all. All the food and drinks are arranged beforehand, which allows more time to socialize and enjoy the night. He was also very accommodating to those who were vegetarian or did not drink and adjusted dishes or prices accordingly. We ended at karaoke with everyone in the group. Which we all clearly understood that this was not officially part of the tour but he walked us to the spot, settled us into our room, sang one song to break the ice and then departed for the night. As someone who has never done a karaoke room, it was nice extra service. Overall if you're looking for a silly night that you may not experience otherwise traveling alone or with a partner, this is well worth it.

I did this activity with a group of friends and we all had a blast! Taka is a great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, and we got to experience a lot of local cuisine we wouldn’t have otherwise got to try. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to have a fun night out in Osaka!
