Raul was a great guide! He was happy to give advice on where else to visit in Osaka and Kyoto too which was helpful. It's such a busy area it's nice to have a guide take you around the best spots and some more hidden gems. Since it was 2 hrs we had time to stop and buy some street food which was delicious. group size: 6 breaks: yes

We enjoyed the tour in Osaka at night. It was one of the busiest sections of the city. It's easy to get lost, but thankfully we had Shibu, who was with us the whole time. His expertise in the area gave us a lot of knowledge and insight into the history of the location. It was never boring, as he was able to tell a lot of jokes. The tour was small, so it felt like a private tour altogether. Highly recommended, and you won't be disappointed.

I had two teenage boys and they enjoyed it a lot. we really liked having a Japanese guide. it was like going out with Auntie. the tour was flexible so we took extra time in one area which limited time in others. there was an option to extend time which was nice if you want to stop along the way. My only reason for doing 4/5 for value is it is labeled as a food tour but no food was included in the cost. It’s really a guided market tour. Well worth the cost for a guide because the markets are like a maze and Google/Apple maps aren’t great navigating markets or recommending best places to try speciality foods. I’d recommend for families or anyone who can get overwhelmed by the hundreds of options. total necessity in the heat of summer to have a guide.

We had a fun tour with our guide Takeshi. He showed us areas which we normally wouldn't know about or find out. He gave us some useful tips and some historical facts. We had this tour the day after our arrival! Recommended if you are for the first time in Japan!

This all you can A5 Wagyu was amazing! it was a 12 y/o boy, a 16 y/o girl, a mother in law and a husband and wife and it was just the right amount of amaziness! We had a salad, soup, A5 and A4, abalone, shrimp, and scallops! a bit hard to find because it’s in Dotonburi however, if you get in the general area there is someone outside on the street level that will direct you up. atomshere and service was excellent! A true must try!

I usually go to the same place, but I tried somewhere new and was completely satisfied! The meat quality was excellent, and best of all, it was a private room, which was great for individual dining. However, the stews were really not good, but the lemon cold noodles were a delicious specialty, haha. The meat quality was generally very good, and the unlimited alcohol option was just too filling for me. It was about 2,000 won? I paid extra to upgrade to premium, but next time, I think the basic option will be enough. 120 minutes isn't enough, and they stop taking orders 30 minutes before closing! They bait you with a promise of wagyu if you write a Google review, but they don't actually give it to you, haha. I was satisfied anyway, so it was fine, but someone on Google reviews gave them 1 star, saying they promised wagyu but didn't deliver, haha. Even without the bait-and-switch, I was satisfied! There's a small, one-pyeong (about 35 sq ft) smoking room inside the restaurant!

If you're going to worry about the cost of a meal and your wallet, you might as well just eat the wind. People work hard all day just for a satisfying meal; if you have the means to fill your stomach, then naturally you should enjoy yourself, eat happily, and eat heartily. To do otherwise is pointless. If you have too many reservations, it goes against the natural way. To live in a way that goes against the natural order makes life painful.

Located in the bustling Dotonbori area of Osaka, "Wagyu Nabe" is a paradise for meat lovers. This time, we chose the PREMIUM Kuroge Wagyu all-you-can-eat plus soft drink free-flow package, and the overall dining experience was exquisite and satisfying. The quality of the Kuroge Wagyu was astonishing. The meat displayed beautiful marbling, and after just a few seconds in the shabu-shabu pot, it was ready to eat. The texture was tender, and it had that unique fatty aroma characteristic of Wagyu. Ordering via phone was very convenient, and the food selection was fresh and diverse.
