But the real magic happens on your taste buds. We'll take you on a one-of-a-kind culinary adventure, starting with a secret peek into a truly unique supermarket – with a bounty of intriguing ingredients and local culinary secrets waiting to be discovered. Then, prepare to indulge like a true Osakan foodie at three hand-picked restaurants, each a hidden gem bursting with authentic flavours. This tour is for the adventurous foodie seeking an unforgettable, elevated Osaka experience!

Our first stop - a Local tachinomi!
We'll kick-start our restaurants like a true local! Our first stop is a local special – a buzzing tachinomi, a standing bar where Osaka's energy is at the forefront after work. Imagine salary-men and women unwinding after a long day, grabbing quick bites and drinks.
We'll treat you to a selection of classic dishes, perfect for light bites and shared plates. Savour melt-in-your-mouth slow-cooked meat infused with the rich flavours of miso, tangy rice vinegar pickled fish bursting with freshness, and refreshing steamed chicken drizzled with a citrusy ponzu sauce.

Restaurant 2 - Classic Izakaya
Ready to dig in deeper? Our second stop takes us to a quintessential izakaya, a bustling pub-style restaurant and another classic stop for locals on a night out. Unlike the quick bites of the tachinomi, here you can settle in for a relaxed and social dining experience.
We'll guide you through an enticing selection of dishes, designed to be shared and savoured amongst everyone at the table. Prepare your taste buds for Tonpeiyaki, a savoury Osaka speciality.
No izakaya experience is complete without sashimi, and here you'll find a wide array of the freshest seasonal seafood.

Our last restaurant - Going Out With a Bang
Our final visit for the night is a contemporary twist on tradition. A stylish dining bar, where Japanese classics are reimagined with a modern flair. This is a far cry from the bustling izakaya – here, the ambiance is sleek and sophisticated, perfect for a relaxed and intimate dining experience.
Our guide will navigate you through the menu, showcasing the innovative ways this restaurant reinvents classic dishes. You might find tempura with unexpected seasonal vegetables, a unique twist on the hearty udon noodles, or yakitori skewers featuring premium cuts of meat.
No visit to a modern Japanese restaurant is complete without a taste of the freshest seasonal catch. Here, we might encounter a dish featuring succulent mackerel, prepared in a way that highlights its delicate flavour (seasonal).
As always, you'll have a variety of drinks at your disposal.
