After you have had some incredible gourmet dishes – you’ve had the sushi and sashimi, you’ve had the gold flecked ice sorbet, you’ve had the blowfish and lived… it’s time to get down into Osaka town for some soul food. Osaka is much unlike Tokyo-the urban megacity and Kyoto-the refined historic cultural center. Osaka is an industrial town with regular people living the lives of the “everyman and everywoman” of Japan. As such, the style and culture and FOOD reflect that side of the people. Let’s take a deep dive into Japanese soul food. Come with our guides on an Osaka Food Safari and try local dishes, drink their sake and beer, maybe do some cooking along the way. We take you to the center of the city where many small eateries and street vendors line the road. We’ll be grazing our way through Japanese food and enjoying every noisy step of the way. There will be no zen reflection here as the people of Osaka are fond of saying, “Eat until you drop”. Let’s put that challenge to the test!
