Why is the food not included in the price?

So the tour fits your appetite and tastes. Instead of a set group menu, you order exactly what appeals to you at each stop and pay regular local prices for it.

Can the route match my tastes and dietary needs?

Yes. Tell your guide what you are into, from classic takoyaki and kushikatsu to dishes most menus never translate, and the route adjusts to fit you.

What if I do not drink alcohol?

No problem. The welcome drink at the first stop can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic, and everything after that is your choice.

How is this different from other Osaka food tours?

It skips the tourist-facing restaurants for tiny backstreet spots, some with only six seats and no English menus, that a guide with local relationships can get you into.
