Fantastic Food Tour

5.00Keigoh was a fabulous guide, he took us to some lovely places we never would have found on our own and explained exactly what we were eating and how it was prepared. We enjoyed every single thing we tried snd Keigoh’s thoughtful and friendly style made it all the more enjoyable. We particularly appreciated him tweaking the tour part way through so we could try a great example of something we’d eaten previously and enjoyed. We also loved the follow up email he sent detailing all the places we’d visited along with recommendations for things we’d talked about throughout the evening. We’ve both done food tours in various different parts of the world and wouldn’t hesitate to put this up there with the best of them. I’d highly recommend any friends or family coming to Japan to make sure they come to Osaka to do this tour - it’s been a definite highlight of our trip. Thank you
Unique, local, and full of hidden gems

5.00The tour was amazing. My wife and I were looking for food that was more hole-in-the-wall, less tourist conventional, but still oishi, and Keigoh delivered with flying colors. His restaurant choices exemplified his mission, hidden gems. Each restaurant had at least one creative dish that we could not experience elsewhere, and two of our spots were places that you would miss, even if you were a local. The last spot we went to was a submarine themed speak easy. If you’re like me, and you love talking about flavors, and how they’re created, and the dish composition, Keigoh has you covered. He shares an amazing love and care of food, I mean after all, he was a former chef! This was one of numerous tours I’ve done all across Japan, and this was easily the most special and unique tour I’ve been on. I hope that anyone coming by Osaka has a chance to meet Keigoh and go on his lovely food tour!
Amazing, one-of-a-kind tour in the undiscovered areas of Osaka! Highly recommended experience!

5.00We had a great experience with Keigoh! He brought us to 3 different izakayas that we would have never found on our own. We’ve been on many food tours and still tried so many new foods on this tour. We went to spots where locals go nowhere in an area we would not have discovered without this tour including some hidden spots. It was such an amazing, unique experience for 4 hours, and plenty of time at each venue without feeling rushed! We had lots of delicious food and drinks, and had a great time hanging out with Keigoh! We are so glad we went on this tour! I highly recommend to anyone visiting Osaka who wants to try something off the beaten path.

5.00If you're looking for an authentic taste of Osaka, this is it. The experience was fantastic from start to finish. Our guide took us into backstreets and local haunts that were completely off the beaten path; I definitely wouldn't have found these places by myself. I also really appreciated the variety of the tastings. I ended up eating (and loving!) dishes and drinks I would usually be too nervous to order on my own. It felt like being shown around by a local friend who really knows their food. Highly recommend!
Wonderful experience with the great Keigoh

5.00My wife and I had a great time on this tour with Keigoh san. We tried over a dozen delicious dishes at various izakaya restaurants and even went to a bar that we would never have found ourselves. The main reason we chose this tour was because of Keigoh's experience as a chef and we did not want to go to the same type of places all tourists go to. This checked all our boxes. Keigoh took us to restaurants off the beaten path and we got to try dishes we would not be able to order on our own. During the entire time, we got to talk with Keigoh about his experiences and ask him for tips for our trip. Keigoh gave us personalized recommendations based on our hotel location and even acted as our photographer, snapping photos of us and immediately sharing them that same night. Thank you, Keigoh, for a wonderful evening. We hope to return and do it again.
THE BEST FOOD TOUR!

5.00Our guide Keigoh was amazing! He provided an in depth insight into the local food culture and, broadly speaking, the japanese culture. He also taught us how to order food and drinks in japanese, which also proved to be highly useful. Furthermore, the four locations were unique for their food as well as their atmosphere. The local establishments were by no means touristy: we would have never found these spots without our trusty and friendly guide. Also, we felt that the tour’s pace was well adapted to our group and we didn’t feel rushed between each location. We highly recommend this tour : it was certainly one of the best nights of our trip! KANPAI!
An Unforgettable Culinary & Cultural Experience in Osaka Japan

5.00I recently joined the culinary tour.. The tour felt calm, personal, and very thoughtfully paced. From the first moment, there was a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that made it easy to connect and fully enjoy the experience. The guide led me to a quieter, more traditional side of Japan, far from the crowds and noise of the big city. Instead of touristy spots, we visited small, local places that felt genuine and authentic. Through these everyday locations and the food itself, I gained a deeper understanding of Japanese culture and daily life in a very natural and approachable way. What made this tour stand out was the personal attention and care throughout the experience. Everything felt well-balanced, easygoing, and carefully chosen, making the tour both meaningful and enjoyable. If you’re looking for an authentic, relaxed, and personal way to experience Japan through its food and culture, I highly recommend this tour. It’s an experience that stays with you long after it ends. I would also like to personally thank you for allowing me to experience Japan in a slightly different and truly special way.

5.00This was a great experience. We got to visit wonderful local restaurants and bars, learn more about the culture, and see/taste a side of Osaka we wouldn't have discovered alone. Highly recommend taking this tour.

5.00Keigoh was an excellent guide. We went to places I never would have even noticed by myself, let alone fine to. There are some true gems on this tour. The food was amazing! Keigoh will order for you and you can make adjustments as needed. We were a small group, but everyone was easy to talk to so it didn't matter. I highly recommend this tour if you want something more authentic Osaka with a local, Japanese guide.
A must do for anyone coming to Osaka!
