You’ll weave your way through Osaka’s streets with one of our local Osaka hosts, feasting on regional Kansai dishes. Known as ‘Kuidaore City’, meaning ‘to ruin oneself with food’, we’re sure you’ll agree that this sounds like you’ve happily landed in the country’s gastronomic capital! You’ll feast on Kobe beef, best served grilled or in Tecchiri. Round things off with dessert! You could go for sweet rice cakes, rainbow-colored pancakes or matcha flavored ice-cream.
Before you meet, you'll receive a short Personalization Form so we can tailor the experience to your interests and pair you with a licensed local guide.

Osaka (Pass by)
Explore Osaka’s rich culinary culture with a local host who knows the city’s food scene inside and out. This is more than a food tour—it’s a City Unscripted experience: personalized, immersive, and bursting with flavor. Alongside your host, you’ll wander through vibrant markets, slip into cozy izakayas, and taste your way across family-run food stalls—learning, laughing, and connecting with the soul of the city. Before your adventure begins, you’ll receive a short online questionnaire so we can design a food journey tailored to your tastes—whether you're craving crispy takoyaki, rare wagyu, or traditional sweets from a quiet backstreet confectioner. Here are just a few highlights to whet your appetite:
