“Nina was amazing! Ended up a private tour which was a bonus! Got a locals view of Namba and Dotonburi and tasted lots of different foods, Takoyaki, roast chestnut, dried fruits, tuna belly sashimi, fresh watermelon, ice cream sandwich and red bean paste taiyaki. Plenty of options to suit different tastes and preferences though. Got to see a shrine and museum, local supermarkets and secret shops for souvenirs. Was a perfect introduction to a beautiful city. Thank you so much Nina, and can’t wait for the photos!! :)”

4.All Inclusive Kuromon Markets Tour: Flavors Of Osaka

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 31 reviews · 2 hours · from $61

Meet your English-speaking guide at Nipponbashi Station for a two-hour tasting walk through Kuromon Market. Expect five to seven dishes plus smaller samples, including scallops, tuna sashimi, gobo tempura, okonomiyaki, mochi, tea, and pickled foods. Guides such as Anna, Hikaru, and Taka add food knowledge and market stories.

“The tour with Anna was lovely. We were really well taken care of and everything we tried was new, traditional and exiting. Do be warned that it is a famous fish market, which meant that everything we tried expect for the sweets was a form of fish or seafood. It did not think that they specified that well enough in tour description.”
