Kuromon Market

Step into the heart of Osaka’s food scene with a guided walk through Kuromon Market—a lively market with over 200 years of history. Known as “Osaka’s kitchen,” this massive market is packed with local flavor, culture, and color. You’ll stroll past stalls overflowing with fresh seafood, giant crabs, and beautifully marbled Kobe beef. Your local guide (that’s me!) will provide you with the best bites and help you choose what to try—whether it’s melt-in-your-mouth wagyuu beef skewers, crispy takoyaki, or even adventurous dishes like fugu (puffer fish). This is a casual, flexible food experience. I’ll provide you with my top picks, and you can taste based on your curiosity, appetite. It’s perfect for food lovers who want to eat like a local and learn the stories behind each dish.

Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street

On our way to the next food stop, we’ll pass through Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street—a fascinating destination for anyone interested in Japanese cooking culture. This covered alley is where local chefs, restaurant owners, and home cooks shop for top-quality tools and kitchenware. You’ll see shops lined with razor-sharp Japanese knives, beautiful ceramic plates, lacquerware, and even the realistic plastic food models often displayed in restaurant windows. While we won’t be eating here, I’ll point out some of the most interesting and unique items—many of which are hard to find outside Japan. It’s a quick stop, but it adds an extra layer to the tour, giving you a glimpse into the craftsmanship and tools behind Osaka’s incredible food scene.

Namba

No Osaka tour is complete without okonomiyaki, the city’s beloved savory pancake. Depending on the day and group size, we’ll visit one of my favorite restaurants known for authentic flavors. Watch as cabbage, batter, and toppings sizzle on the griddle before being topped with sweet-savory sauce, mayo, and dancing bonito flakes.

Tucked away in a quiet alley near the lively streets of Dotonbori, Hozenji Yokocho offers a peaceful break—and a glimpse of old Osaka. As we walk along the cobblestone path, you’ll feel the change in atmosphere. It’s calm, historic, and full of charm. Here, right by Hozenji Temple, you’ll find one of Osaka’s most famous food spots—Daruma, the legendary kushikatsu restaurant. This beloved eatery is known for its golden, perfectly fried skewers and the unmistakable statue of the angry man guarding its entrance. Kushikatsu—crispy skewers of meat, seafood, and vegetables—is one of Osaka’s must-try dishes. At Daruma, it’s taken to the next level. I’ll guide you th
