Very disappointing, far from town and no real food tasting.

This was the best market tour yet! Sebastian was a fantastic tour guide. Thoughtful, knowledgeable, a pleasure to spend time with.

EK was an amazing guide, super knowledgeable about both the food we ate, the culinary history of Osaka and the area in which the tour took place. He threw in some delightful surprises that we we were not expecting, a quick visit to a hideaway shrine and a Japanese cooking knife demonstration with the excellent people at Tower Knives. All in all a very enjoyable experience, that we’d highly recommend.
