Kansai Soul Food Tour: Authentic Japanese Edibles

I am rushing to write this review just to save someone from having this extremely overpriced experience. For three persons (“Option 2”) we paid 24500JPY (~150$). At the end of this tour, we didn’t learn anything about Japanese kitchen, except that they use lots of soya sauce, which is self evident. Nearly anything more about the food and its history was told. Also, guide said it will take 2hours, but in fact it took 1:30h. Lastly, I think its complete scam, because it says that the tour is free and that guide would collect money only for food. However, you give 150USD for the guy and you end up eating cheapest and crapiest street you can find which comes all together up to 20USD at best. This is clearly the worst money spent and the worst tour I have ever been on, which makes me think that reviews saying opposite are just fake.

Thank you for attending the tour Kamilė. Your honesty is highly appreciated, we take serious precautions to deliver the best experience. Apologies it wasn't what you expected. We strive to improve the quality of your experience. Please welcome next time for a complimentary experience in Osaka. Safe travels!

Interesting tour if you nothing about Japanese/osaka region food. If you know the bare minimum the tour is pretty bare bones. The budget was set at ¥12500 by the first couple to arrive(the guide offered three levels this was the most expensive, the others were cheaper but included less) most of the 5 places we went sold food for ¥300-500 yen and 3 ¥500 drinks. hardly accounts to a budget of ¥12500 and it seemed like the guide was getting kick backs too so just seemed off. Oh and the ¥100 at the arcade, can’t forget that. Tasty food but you’d get that by just walking into most of the places anyway. Unless you know nothing about Japanese food give this one a miss in my opinion.

Thank you for attending the tour Andrew. We apologize for its lousiness. We highly appreciate your honesty. Our aim is to improve the quality and provide a better service.
