Ordering in an Osaka izakaya is easy once someone shows you the rhythm. Here are the crawls worth the money: how many bars each visits, how much is drinking versus eating, whether the sake flights are included, and which ones suit a group who want to keep going afterwards.

“We joined this bar hopping tour during our stay in Osaka and had such a great time. The guide was incredibly friendly and shared lots of interesting stories about the area, the food, and the local drinking culture. She was very kind and made everyone feel comfortable right away. After the tour ended, we still wanted to keep exploring, and she took the time to recommend some great bars for us to visit on our own. Thanks to her suggestions, we had an even better night. It was a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend this tour.”

“What an unforgettable evening! ✨ We had the most fantastic time exploring hidden izakayas tucked away in little alleys — each one filled with incredible food, atmosphere, and the warmest people. We tried dishes we’d never have known to order ourselves (and loved every one of them!), along with some seriously good sake and cocktails. Koda was the absolute star of the show — an amazing host from start to finish (and even after! 😂). So knowledgeable, welcoming, and fun — it felt like exploring with a local friend who knew all the best spots. Couldn’t recommend this experience more highly! 🌸🍶💫”

“Bij een food tour denk ik aan eten op meerdere plekken. Dat waren dan ook mijn verwachtingen. Wij hebben op 2 plekken gegeten. Na mijn idee is dat geen foodtour. De meneer kan heel veel leuke plekjes aanwijzen maar daar wordt niks mee gedaan. Jammer. Het eten was daarin tegen lekker vooral het eerste restaurant. Tweede plek alleen frituur.”
