Great experience with guides who showed us a side of Osaka you wouldn’t notice at first. The night was full of tasty food and fun stories, ending in the busy streets of Dotonbori. I recommend it!

What a wonderful experience this tea-themed tour was! From the moment we arrived, the tour team greeted us warmly, setting the stage for an enjoyable evening. The first restaurant truly stood out, with carefully crafted snacks and dishes that were as delicious as they were thoughtfully prepared. The tea-infused cocktails, beautifully presented, were a highlight – both delicate in flavor and visually stunning. The second stop was equally impressive. The unique menu, flavorful drinks, and the welcoming atmosphere made it feel special. However, we did feel that a bit more food would have made it perfect for an evening tour. Either a later start time or more dishes would be ideal, allowing participants to fully enjoy the experience without feeling hungry. Since tea is the main theme, more information about the teas and the places we visited would also add extra depth. Overall, it was a delightful, atmospheric tour that left us with great memories. At 20,000 yen, the price feels fair for what’s offered, but with a few tweaks, it could be even better. I’d highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking a unique, tea-infused culinary adventure!""

We enjoyed the delicious snacks and the variety of food and cocktail combinations. The cocktails had a nice, subtle tea flavor and weren’t too strong, though some might find them a bit weak. The transportation was well-organized, and the second venue had a wonderful atmosphere with friendly staff and unique, tasty cocktails. It'd be great if the guide could share more about tea during the tour and provide additional information about the areas we visited, like Gakugei Daigaku and Daikanyama! Thank you for a great experience! We really enjoyed it.
