We’ll kick-start our restaurants like a true local! Our first stop is a local special – a buzzing tachinomi, a standing bar where Osaka’s energy is at the forefront after work. Imagine salary-men and women unwinding after a long day, grabbing quick bites and drinks. You’ll have a first class ticket to the show, and interactions are a common occurrence on this tour! We’ll treat you to a selection of classic dishes, perfect for light bites and shared plates. Savor melt-in-your-mouth slow-cooked meat infused with the rich flavors of miso, tangy rice vinegar pickled fish bursting with freshness, and refreshing steamed chicken drizzled with a citrusy ponzu sauce. The daily specials board might also offer exciting finds, showcasing the freshest seasonal ingredients.

Our second stop takes us to a quintessential izakaya, a bustling pub-style restaurant and another classic stop for locals on a night out. Unlike the quick bites of the tachinomi, here you can settle in for a relaxed and social dining experience. Prepare yourself for lively chatter, clinking glasses, and the aroma of delicious food wafting through the air. We’ll guide you through an enticing selection of dishes, designed to be shared and savored amongst everyone at the table. Prepare your taste buds for the star of the show – Tonpeiyaki, a savory Osaka specialty featuring layered cabbage, meat, and a flavorful pancake batter. No izakaya experience is complete without sashimi, and here you’ll find a wide array of the freshest seasonal seafood. To elevate the experience, we’ll guide you through the world of sake. Learn about the different types, flavors, and proper serving etiquette. Raise a toast to your Osaka adventure as you savor the smooth taste of this Japanese rice wine.

Our final visit for the night is a contemporary twist on tradition. A stylish dining bar, where Japanese classics are reimagined. This is a far cry from the bustling izakaya – here, the ambiance is sleek and sophisticated, perfect for a relaxed and intimate dining experience. Our guide will navigate you through the menu, showcasing the innovative ways this restaurant reinvents classic dishes. You might find tempura with unexpected seasonal vegetables, a unique twist on the hearty udon noodles, or yakitori skewers featuring premium cuts of meat. No visit to a modern Japanese restaurant is complete without a taste of the freshest seasonal catch. Here, we might encounter a dish featuring succulent mackerel, prepared in a way that highlights its delicate flavor (seasonal). As always, you’ll have a variety of drinks at your disposal to complement each course. Whether you prefer a refreshing glass of Japanese beer, or a crisp glass of sake, the bar has something for everyone.
