Overview

Experience Osaka's street food scene like a local — far from the crowds of Namba and Shinsaibashi. This guided walking tour takes you through Tenjinbashisuji, a nearly 2-kilometer-long shopping arcade packed with authentic eateries, neighborhood vendors, and a strong local spirit. As you explore this vibrant area near Umeda, you'll dive into Osaka's bold, comforting flavors with up to 10 tastings across 7 stops, including:

• Kushikatsu – deep-fried skewers with signature sauces
• Takoyaki – Osaka's famous octopus balls
• Okonomiyaki – savory Japanese-style pancake
• Croquettes – hot and crispy
• Taiyaki – sweet fish-shaped cakes
• Tofu pudding – smooth and refreshing
• Sashimi – fresh and light, from a local standing bar

Your local guide will share fun insights into the area's history, Osaka's unique food culture, and tips on what else to eat and explore after the tour.

What's included

  • Up to 10 street food tastings across 7 stops (enough for a full meal) + 1 drink
