Our group of nine had a fun evening with our guide, Sal! Sal was informative and fun to be with. We sampled so many different foods and drinks. We then met up with the other group and their guide, B, who was also great fun!

Great food tour through Shinsekai
G8428AJolivert, October 2026
Great 2 hour tour with a nice group of people through Shinsekai. Visited four different places to try some local specialities and classic dishes which were all really tasty. Decent value for money though some may still be hungry afterwards. Perfect for the first or second night in Osaka, to both try new things but immerse yourself in the night ambience. Niko was a fantastic tour guide, super friendly, made a great effort to get to know everyone whilst still being informative and giving us some history.
Response from the operator · Support G Thank you for sharing such a detailed review! We are delighted that you enjoyed exploring Shinsekai with a friendly group and trying local specialties and classic dishes at four different places. It is wonderful to hear that Niko combined a warm, personal approach with informative stories about the area and its history. We also appreciate your thoughtful observations about the value and portions. Your recommendation for an early evening in Osaka means a great deal to us. We hope the tasty food and lively nighttime atmosphere remain memorable parts of your trip!
