Kuromon Market Food Tour (YUM!)

Highly recommend! Kuromon Market has amazing food choices. Having a knowledgeable guide navigate made this such a positive experience. Jimmy was fun, and funny, and passionate about the food. He was great at checking in on my comfort level, as I tried lots of firsts (and all quite delicious)! I learned a lot and lol, ate a lot. It was so much fun!

Amazing food tour with Yuki

As my partner was sick, I went on this tour alone and it turned out I was the only participant! My guide, Yuki, made me feel at ease right away. She was very enthusiastic and recommend all kinds of marvellous food. I even got to try fugu! Yuki also kindly explained the history of the places we visited. We ended the tour with some delicious candied apple in Dotonbori. I recommend this tour to everyone who is curious about Osaka cuisine and its history. Thank you very much, Yuki, for such a wonderful time!
