11/10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The ByFood crew are great to deal with and operate a great tour, but this one was by far the best! Nathalie shared insights into Japan, Osaka, and knew the origins of our dishes and restaurants. We had kids with us and it was still incredibly inclusive and welcoming. We’ve done a few food tours in Japan now but this one was by far the best!

If you're in Osaka, this experience is a MUST. :) We had such a lovely evening, it was for sure one of the best activities of our entire trip. Momoko is a fantastic host, speaks good English and taught us everything about Sake from scratch and also how to make delicious Takoyaki with different toppings. We spent almost all the time chatting away with her and also learned a lot about living in Japan and Japanese culture, which was great! Time flew by so fast. My husband had some takoyaki with wagyu beef and cheese which were delicious. As I am a pescetarian, Momoko provided me with some shrimp instead, so everybody was catered for, and the takoyaki were - honestly - even better than the ones we had had in Shinsekai the day before! Before this, we had hardly ever had Sake and we got to try lots of different varieties (hot and cold), which were all spectacular. Definitely would recommend to all foodies visiting Osaka!
