Fantastic tour! Hugo is an amazing guide, I would do a tour with him again for sure. Everyone in my group had a great time learning about the history of the less seen areas in Osaka. I do think there should be a disclaimer that this is an “adult only” tour. Did not impact us but I would not recommend bringing children on this tour.

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!

The tour was great and the insight in Osaka' s history and present was very insightful.. The host Sacha was fantastic and was very clear, took his time with the tour progression and been extremely informative, as well as funny and friendly! 5 star and experience and would recommend to anyone who doesn't just want to stop by and try some local delicacies, which by the way was also included and a lovely meal to finish of the tour. Great work guys! Elias

These tours provide an unparalleled opportunity to savor inventive versions of the classic Japanese takoyaki, allowing you to indulge in your vegetarian preferences while experiencing an iconic snack in a novel way.

A Culinary Adventure Beyond Traditional Japanese Street Food
