“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! 🌸🍶💫”

He brought us to places we never would’ve found on our own and he was friends with the staff at a couple of the places which made the tour feel even more personal and fun. The food was delicious! We loved getting to experience some of the local food and izakayas. Miki was also knowledgeable about the history of the area and he was great company on the tour. We would definitely recommend this tour and Miki as a guide!”
Make your own Osaka okonomiyaki in a small English-language class, with 10 ingredient choices, a drink, and friendly local guidance.
“Taking this cooking class in Osaka was one of the highlights of our trip. The dishe themselve was delicious ( WE LOVE OKONOMIYAKI) but what made the experience unforgettable was our instructor. She wasn’t just showing recipes step by step – she really cared about making sure everyone understood, felt comfortable, and enjoyed the process. Her warmth and energy made the whole group feel at home, even though we had just met. By the end, it felt less like a class and more like cooking together with a friend who happens to be incredibly skilled.”
