Curated by a Pro. Trusted by Locals.
In a city with thousands of restaurants, how do you find the best? You trust a chef. Forget the tourist traps and long queues in Dotonbori. We take you to the personal favorites of a former professional chef in the historic Tanimachi area.
Every stop, from the lively standing bar to the hidden alleyway pub, has passed our strict "Chef's Return Test" (Is this a place I would take my own friends?).
Why join this tour?
Chef's Eye: Your guide isn't just a translator. He decodes the culinary techniques and history behind every dish.

0% Touristy: Experience the authentic, retro atmosphere where locals relax after work.
What we do:
Meet at Tanimachi (A quiet, retro area away from the noise).
Hop through 3 authentic Izakaya/Bars tailored by the chef.
Eat, drink, and laugh like a local insider.
