Description - What to expect
Your 3-hour Dotonbori food tour in the famous foodie neighborhood of Dotonbori & Namba will take you on an unforgettable eating tour through the busy streets and the hidden, less frequented parts of Minami (South) Osaka.The Dotonbori food tour kicks off in the busy Doutonburi area where we will learn about Glico man, a Filipino sprinter named Fortunato Catalon who inspired a nation and a company! Similar to Shibuya (its counterpart in Tokyo) the sights and sounds of Dotounburi often lead you astray to overly-commercialized restaurants with queues of tourists outside. Follow your English-speaking guide to places that you would certainly miss without a local's assistance. You'll travel down hidden alleys not long after you begin the tour, making your way toward a shrine that is hidden from sight for the ordinary passerby.
Sample, Kushikatsu, (deep-fried meat and veggie skewers) a local take on Yakitori, and get surprised with a Michelin-rated street food stop for Osaka’s favorite snack– Takoyaki!
