Informative, delicious, and fun! - The food was amazing but Scott shared so much about culture within Osaka specifically it was great for a nerd like me. He was a US veteran as well, and we happened to be deployed to the same spot in Iraq at different times. All 5 places were delicious and would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Osaka!

An amazing intro into thriving Osaka food scene - This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan! Andy was an exceptional guide! He knows all the best places to go in Osaka and introduced us to the thriving food scene. We were treated to a range of awesome dishes at different venues, some in the tourist hot spots and some off the beaten track. It was great to spend our first night in Osaka with Andy, as he also gave us great tips on things to see and do for the rest of our trip. We couldn’t speak highly enough of the experience the Hungry Osaka team provides. If you’re heading to Osaka, don’t miss this foodie’s delight!

Good times, food times, Osaka style! - When you're in Osaka, you need a food tour. But not just any food tour, a food tour with a knowledgeable, and amusing guide. And Scott was it. Definitely the tour you want to go on to experience the tasty and amazing Osaka food.

Learn what makes the Osaka food scene so unique with a fun tour guide. - Really enjoyable outing to see real Osaka 'street food' with Andy, our fun and irreverent tour guide. His banter with the cooks was hilarious and we learned a lot about the city and its counter-culture vibe in addition to tasting some great food. We never would have found the places he took us to on our own and highly recommend that you add this to your Osaka itinerary!

Awesome…So Much Fun! - This is the second time we’ve done this tour and it was excellent as usual. The restaurants varied a bit which was great and Andy is a wealth of knowledge about Osaka. He’s also super entertaining and obviously loves what he does. Thank you again. We highly, highly recommend the tour and the family we had visiting loved it as well.

Delicious filling food tour! - Amazing start to our trip! The tour was so fun, and it was so convenient to try so many foods in one night. A tour is definitely the way to go, since you don’t have to worry about getting a table at every restaurant. This is definitely a hungry tour, we were stuffed by the end. The only thing I wish is to have about 5 more minutes at each restaurant or at least the ones with drinks, but overall it was great!
