We had a great time on our Food Tour of Osaka with Yuichi. He’s a native to Osaka, so he took us to all of the best food spots for amazing okonomiyaki, sashimi, takoyaki, yakiniku, etc. We even sampled blowfish! Yuichi was very kind, informative, and thoughtful, and tailored the tour to our tastes. We tried a variety of foods and saw different highlights of the area, even though our tour was only 3 hours. Yuichi shared photos, gave us train directions, and recommended other places for us to visit which were geared towards our interests. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable tour!
