Osaka Food tours

My husband has a fascination with pigs so I knew I had to book this experience. We booked the hour in the main room and it was so fun! It was fun to see who the piglets would walk over too. They loved my husband and thankfully I usually had one at a time. The staff were so kind and made sure if someone didn't have one to try and bring a lone pig over.

We loved our tour guide, Jin. He explains to us the history and some of the meaning behind some Japanese words which really helps us to know more of the culture behind it. The places he brought us is awesome and the food is good too. We’re exposed to Japanese izakaya culture and the food and the drinks are very good.

it was overall a good experience though the amount of people there on friday night was slightly dissapointing.

Our instructor Yoko was so so lovely! We had such a great time. Made our own noodles, charred some chicken l and assembled bowls including our choice of toppings. Great value for money, highly recommend!

An unforgettable night in Osaka thanks to Yuoitchi! Our Shinsekai food tour was already set to be fun, but Yuoitchi took it to a whole new level. He brought incredible energy, humour, and warmth to the entire evening — and even surprised us with his very own karaoke mic, turning the walk into a sing‑along adventure. It was absolutely hilarious and so uniquely Osaka.What meant the most to me was how attentive and caring he was about my food intolerance. Yuoitchi checked every stop, every dish, and every ingredient to make sure I could enjoy the night safely. He explained options clearly, made thoughtful swaps, and never made me feel like a burden. I felt completely looked after.The food was delicious, the atmosphere was electric, and Yuoitchi’s personality tied it all together. He’s entertaining, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about giving people a great experience.If you’re doing a Shinsekai night tour, ask for Yuoitchi — he’ll make your Osaka evening unforgettable.

Great Tour! Naoko Guide was very personable and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend Naoko!

Overall, the food was excellent, and the crab was fresh and delicious. The staff were also very kind and friendly. The only minor drawback was that the last round of dishes took a while to arrive, which was a slight disappointment.

This was a really great meal and a fun experience. You cook your own meat in a heated bowl of broth (the sukiyaki), which makes it interactive and something a bit different. You’ll definitely be full by the end! One thing that isn’t immediately clear is that you have full access to a wide variety of dishes to reorder during the session—not just Wagyu, Kobe beef, and crab, but also items like eel and sushi (which come prepared). The eel dish in particular is the classic unagi over rice (unadon), served ready to eat rather than cooked at the table. You’re seated in a somewhat separate area from the locals 🙂, which actually works well, as the staff are extremely helpful and attentive. They guide you through how to prepare and eat everything, which is especially useful if it’s your first time. One thing to keep in mind: last orders are at 70 minutes, and you have 90 minutes total, so don’t leave it too late to order. Overall, a fantastic experience that I’d happily recommend. Robin Soole

The neighborhoods, food, and guide were all fantastic - highly recommend! My guide Josh could not have been more kind and accomodating. He not only gave a great overview of the food and delicious recommendations, but his insight on Osaka, the neighborhoods, the restaurants, and life in Japan were the real highlight. He was very patient with my many questions. You could tell he really knew the people and places we visited, which I would have had a hard time navigating on my own as they all seemed like very small, local places and bites.
