Must do- for all! Kanpai! - We absolutely loved our bar tour with Kosuke! He was incredibly knowledgeable about Osaka and took us through hidden backstreets we never would have explored on our own. The tour started with a stop for delicious beer and appetizers, where we even got to make our own takoyaki (Osaka specialty)—so much fun! As we strolled through the lively streets of Dotonbori, we visited a local shrine and learned even more about the culture and history of the area. The sake tasting was a highlight—four different varieties thoughtfully curated and explained. Kosuke kept the energy up with great stories, local tips, and a warm, welcoming vibe. We ended the night with some Japanese whiskey in a cozy bar, soaking in the local nightlife. One of the best parts? The amazing group of people we met from all over the world—it really added to the whole experience. Kosuke made the night feel special from beginning to end. This tour is an absolute must if you’re visiting Osaka!

An exceptional dining experience with Kosuke - I was lucky to have Kosuke as a guide on the Street Food tour and I can’t recommend him enough. From the very beginning, your kindness and knowledge made the experience not only delicious, but also deeply enriching. Kosuke not only knows the history and flavors of Japanese cuisine, but also knows how to tell them in a close and authentic way. You can tell that he loves what he does and manages to convey it with every stop, every dish, every story. Thank you, Kosuke, for making us feel welcome, for taking care of every detail and for showing us Osaka through its flavors and its people. An amazing guide and an experience that is not forgotten!

Fun time bar hopping in Osaka - My wife and I had a great time with Kosuke. He was informative about Osaka and Japan in general. We got to make our own takoyaki at the first place along with a bunch of beers. Then off to a sake bar to learn about fine rice wine. Capping the night off with some whiskey. A+ guide in Kosuke!

Fun evening in Osaka - Super fun evening with Kosuke. He took us to three bars — one for beer and sochu, one for sake and one for Japanese whisky. All three are away from the main tourist area and frequented by locals. We even came across a bachelor party! Kosuke is fun and told us interesting facts and stories. Totally recommend this tour!

Save your money so not take this tour - This whole trip you will be paying an additional 2000 yen or more. There is nothing special about the bars or location. At one point on top of the drink charge you pay 500 dollars each to sit at a table. Biggest scam.
