Enjoy the best of Osaka's famous street food and hidden back alleys on this 3-hour Osaka Food Tour in the famous foodie area of Dotonbori & Namba! Experience an unforgettable stroll through the historical food streets of Osaka and eat like a local in the city known as “Japan’s Kitchen.” Your local expert will take you on an unforgettable eating excursion through the busy streets and the hidden, less frequented parts of South Osaka. The tour kicks off in the busy Dotonbori area where we will learn about Glico man, a Filipino sprinter named Fortunato Catalon who inspired a nation and a company! Similar to Shibuya (its counterpart in Tokyo) the sights and sounds of Dotonbori often lead you astray to overly-commercialised restaurants with queues of tourists outside. We want to take our guests to places they would certainly miss without local guidance. We will take secret alleys not long after we begin the tour towards the shrine hidden from sight for the average passerby.

We will sample Kushikatsu (deep-fried meat and veggie skewers), a local take on Yakitori, and we will surprise you with a Michelin rated street food stop for Osaka’s favourite snack– Takoyaki! (a kind of grilled octopus fritter). Next, travel down more narrow alleys and see some of the more unconventional restaurants and pubs. Your guide will then lead you to a local lunch spot, an Izakaya or local gastro-pub with seasonal dishes and lunch sets that will intrigue and delight.

From there, you’ll explore other nearby local areas and finally finish off with a tasty local street food dessert!
